Exactly, that was what I was thinking...

I've never liked the checklist nature of it. There's no substitute for reacting to the organic spark of unexpectedly meeting someone in person, hitting it off with them, and going with the flow. Body/eye language when we're in each other's presence says so much more than a profile *ever* could - there's energy there and that's the fuel that keeps the connection moving. A well-chosen pic might be hot but it says little to nothing about how you and I vibe. "Well yeah, that's the whole point of contacting/meeting up with them - to see if you do vibe." ...Okay sure of course but I have to be compelled to meet up with them in the first place, and that's almost certainly not going to happen at a distance so I have nearly zero motivation to go after her in such an inorganic environment.

@Etevaldo Skylab even then, I didn't like it for the same reasons I stated. Similar interests and philosophies on life, how active we are, and where we are on our life journey all play a role in the connection we have yes... But who we are on paper doesn't necessarily translate to who we are together. There's a gravity between some souls that's indescribable - an energy that you can't feel until you're with them - which is all the more exciting when it's unplanned and not orchestrated by some framework.

I agree with what you wrote. But here’s the problem. You can’t meet someone just walking down the street. Nobody else is ever walking down the street when I am. In fact, hardly anyone is walking around at all. It’s still pandemic. So what do you do if you really want to meet someone but it isn’t going to happen organically. Just sit home and wait? I’m in NYC. Some people are going out like there is no virus around. But mostly it’s really quiet, not like NY was before pandemic. It’s nearly impossible to meet someone organically and forget my friends, they are penthouse going to introduce me to anyone. So what do I do?

I prefer first time meetings face-to-face rather than online meetings, whether dating or friendships. Far more genuine because it forces you to be on the spot with your true character as soon as possible when in person because it's unexpected to meet someone that catches your interest in person. For romantic interests, I find it far more "hotter" too because of the mystery of first knowing the person face-to-face.

It's a mcdonalized take on relationships, giving you consistent mediocre experiences. It's incredibly rare to find quality but then again why are you going to mcdonalds for quality, you know what I mean? I stopped using online dating and I've felt so much more relived.

Online dating, especially ones like tinder, are extremely toxic. There's nothing quite like getting rejected without even being present.

I wouldn't date online again. Did it once, even got engaged. Tried again afterwards on a number of sites. What a joke the whole thing is. Never ever again.

I never met anyone I would go on a date with offline - and I never met anyone I would have gone on a date with online. In the end, how you meet people is secondary. The people themselves are the most important. And someone who is very "abnormal" is gonna have a hard time either way. With that said however, my obsession with getting a six-pack definitely started with tinder...

27 and never used any dating app or tinder. All my long relationships were from my travels or old friends. Now I'm at a different stage in my life I do worry about how I'll meet someone. But I've decided that it will be organically for me, somehow. I still have hope. I really don't want to be swiping people and judging from a one page profile.

Everyone should allow yourself to do online at least once so you can have a chance and the experience. 😊

I'm a bit old fashioned for a twenty something. I definitely prefer meeting people in person whenever I can. It comes with its own risk, but you get a better feel for a person when looking them in the eye. I used tinder for one week in college and immediately found it too overwhelming. Though I have a friend who met her husband on tinder. Its all preferences and a bit of random luck.

Interesting topic. I've been married for over 30 years and never had to date online (it didn't exist back then). I can see where it can be tough because of the "ghosting." Also, I used to live near Baltimore, Maryland (Gaithersburg, Maryland to be exact) and I'm vegan so I enjoyed your intro! Thanks again, Lana, for the awesome video as usual! Stay healthy!

Lana, its still haunting me how we are somewhat in the same path and you upload these videos which depicts my life. First, the 'taking a break from social media' which I too decided to do the time. And now saying goodbye to dating apps which I'm currently doing starting a couple of weeks ago. I love you. I love us. I love our journey together.

I used internet dating sites for a good 13 years or so & I got absolutely nowhere with them. Met up to 30 women and everything Went tits up basically. Heard the same old excuses & bullshit time & time again like “I just want to be friends” or “there is no chemistry between us” hearing that all the time combined with a lot of ghosting made me feel very very depressed.

This video is so well made and so insightful!! I agree with these points, and I have to say that I had really bad experiences with these apps. And you never know the intentions of people in the beginning. So, as someone who looked for genuine meaningful connections, it was just too hard, and constantly having to start over with new people was just too exhausting, at least for me. I used those apps because as an introvert living in a big city, 'online dating' felt like the only way to find the right match. Maybe most of the introverts living in big cities feel the same. Thank you Lana for sharing your thoughts!! Glad to hear someone telling the truth !

Recent weeks have been hell, working from 7:00am and getting home at 12:00am at the earliest as well as working through the weekend. As lame as it sounds, listening to Lana before sleeping has been the highlight of my day!

Online dating is toxic. It does work for a small amount of people who are looking for a meaningful relationship. But for most people who have been through it, they will tell you that it's not worth it. Just last night I was watching a KZread video of a guy that was putting himself out there on apps and getting frustrated with the revolving door of women and rejection. But we now live in a disposable society and it's so easy to pick up a cell phone than to get out in the real world and meet real people in realistic settings. Family, friends, school, church, work, the bus stop etc. It also leads to more depression and mental health issues like low self-esteem. Being single is hard I totally get that.

not only is this a great, well-spoken video with clear points, but it is also beautifully shot and edited! i think i just found a new yt chanel i love

You know, Im almost done too. Im always talking to people who are draining me for no reason on fb dating. Torment of the heart, no lie.

Wow this video is a lot more on depth than I thought it would be!! Thank you for doing interesting research and sharing such valuable insights with us 😊

Very true.. there is a gulf of difference when you talk to a person online and when u meet someone in person..

I don't know about anyone else but i personally feel that when it comes to dating offline is always better than online

In other words, the stats show if you want to have a legitimate relationship these apps can be a HUGE waste of time. I think people need to come back to the real world and meet people (love interest, friends, etc..) the old fashion way, face to face.

I've always loved your content, Lana. Thank you so much for bringing inspiration.

What I really enjoy about your videos is how you explore a subject from an anthropological/societal point of view - you don't simply talk about it from your perspective (which is already relevant), but you explain it with very interesting insights that makes so much sense - and makes the overall online dating experience not as lonely as we actually think, meaning... we're not alone, so many people are experiencing the same. Which leaves me wondering: are we all just little islands trying to connect in a big ocean of noise, and we never really reach other no matter how much we try?

Omg Lana, finally someone I can relate with! 🙏🏻

I think there's an inherent insecurity that comes from meeting anonymously online, and it has to do with how much our social groups inform our identity. In order to meet certain types of people, you would (normally) have to be interested enough in a certain activity to not only be good enough to do it with other people, but also to plan time for it in your life, and find a group of people to do it regularly. If you made it this far, there's a lot of social filtering that's already taken place, and the people you meet will trust you more and know much more about you. With online dating, the ''price of entry'' into a person's life is so low that you have to do all of the work of showing who you are from scratch. It's a bit weird, seeing as how a big part of why we find someone attractive comes from our perception of how desired they are by others. For people that already have vibrant social lives and strong identities this is probably not as big of a problem, but I imagine those types probably don't spend as much time looking for dates online.

9 years off and on when I got bored yet nothing not one person. Combining with the few in my area in person. Now is the time to go within where happiness and love exist. With abuse negativity nothingness is what exists externally. At least there is a light inside

Thank you. You've certainly articulated what I've suspected and given deeper insight.

I have seen a lot about online dating recently and the negatives. When I was on online dating apps, I learnt a lot and it's true about what they say. Although dating apps have been successful for me, it took so much of my energy and I don't think I could ever do it again. Great video Lana!

It's much easier to start out with a common interest and build on that. Really the best way to find someone that way is to have many interests and to travel everywhere locally. Even if your not the one that meets your special someone, one of her girlfriends that you have met will recommend you to her

As all these points are valid, I met my wife via online dating. So, I am heavily biased and think Online Dating is fantastic for this day & age. People just have be careful. The pandemic accelerated the modern ways people court each other through technology. Or was invetiable it was going to increase in popularity. Its hard enough to meet people you connect with in-person these days. You have to be extremely lucky and be in the right place at the right time. In the end its about patience and not giving up. True love is out there and if one wants to marry for the right reasons that correspond with him or hers and meet someone under the right intensions- it all works out in the end.

online dating is awful, if i don’t respond to their message immediately i get the flip out, one date couldn’t get off his dating app during our date👀, your profile says u want conversation and when u get conversation u say i’m not looking for a friend, 👋 goodbye. Apps make people disposable like shopping for a pair of shoes, easily replaceable, meaningless and terrible. I love just being single, taking myself out, it’s pretty great actually once u get used to it.

This is a really thoughtful and well-analyzed video, and you make lots of great points on the limitations of online dating. But, on the other hand, you state that 30% of people do find their long-term partners online - so presumably it does work for many!

Happy Halloween thanks for posting

A very well made video... thank you Lana xo Keep up the fabulous work

THANK YOU FOR NOT UPLOADING IN 60FPS! I LOVE THE PURE HD!

Love how this video is so on time for me haha 💗

So real human interaction is more essential like meeting friends and families that are closer to you than from online social platforms.❤️

i think the same ! you’re like another version of me … thank you creating this channel.. it’s good

amazing content! and i just want to put it out there. i tend to watch your videos twice. the first time ends up getting helplessly lost in your beauty 🙂

My new opening line will actually be “hello fellow human, do you belong to the 49 percentile group or the 47 percentile group or are you just bored?”

from someone who does not use dating apps, i have noticed how socially awkward women have become (or maybe it is just towards me). It is very hard for a man to breakthrough your walls to get to know you, when someone isn't receptive in conversation cues. Some people have full personalities on social media but in person they are totally different. I think that is why people use dating apps.

Thank you so much for being that their and give me deeper understanding and friendship 💯🔥🙌

thank you so much for the message, i am greatful.

Amazing video! Great job!

Thank you!!

When you said in the beginning 'Hey You' I suddenly remembered Joe from the Netflix show YOU :D the way you talk is so calming, same mind speech as Joe's. Looks like its an INFJ thing.. well many INFJs think he's one :) Loved the video. Definitely online dating is a dilemma... The ending was funny lol

I'm addicted to the dopamine I get when I get a match or when a girl sends something!

I’ve been watched a few of your videos! You have quite the personality!

Dating apps and social media have destroyed dating and courting today

I like the editing, music and subtle sound effects of this video :) Especially at 3:32

Thanks for noticing! :)

It's insane how each video you uploud is sincronyc about my life. Hey!

This video, so insightful

That was a great presentation on online dating and is true from my experience. I must say online dating is a numbers game and I did find success surprisingly... But if I were looking for a life partner, meeting someone at the library, shoping centre or via friends/family would be much better!

Me : saying goodbye to dating all together

Incredible theory. Thank you for your insight

I'm loving these little skits at the beginning of the videos ♥️

Thanks for going into the studies and the theory shared by the other KZreadr. It all explains a lot! I feel the more time passes the more important integrity becomes whether we are talking about dating or the environment. The subject does not matter! Maybe it is all an indication we each need to become even more honest within our own selves ✨

Really love your content ❤

Tinder is most definately "confidence boosting procrastination" for me Sorry to every dissaponted match who never got a message

U know what’s funny, I have never even downloaded tinder in my life😂

lool i did once & met some ppl there but sometimes it’s dangerous, sometimes its not !!

i too hated the idea of dating apps, probably because i dont got nothing to show but my personality thru chat (first). I approached it differently compared to other people, by adjusting my mindset which is really to seek people to just hangout with since i maybe new to the area and basically looking for an attractive, fun tour guide who i hopefully get a connection with on some level

I’ve missed your content. Love your perspectives and factual findings whether it’s old or new. Interestingly, I found you again through another rising KZreadr, Akta, expressing her admiration for you and another. Listening to this makes me feel like removing the apps I don’t even use. Actually going out there and meeting people organically. Whatever happens, friendly or long term. There are more hurdles with online dating, so much conversing to finding a connection, meeting and they are not as interesting in person, all the way to lack of conversation, catfishing and ghosting. I agree it is a choice, providing more options… just something we live with. In person or online, dating is a risk, but could be worth it… Or happier alone ☺️ I’m sure there are many more people who like a balance, their own time and space. Well thought out video and last segment ❤️😅 Love the cliff hanger!

I never believed in online dating 😅 I absolutely cannot date anyone just knowing them online and never met them in real life.

I hate online dating so much omg

god your editing is so nice.

Wonderful video as usual :) couldn't agree more with these points. I know too many people who use tinder as entertainment
