As the title states over the last year or so I ended up with about 10k worth of debt specifically from dating apps.

Had to take out a personal loan to consolidate my debt and haven't been paying for anything on dating apps since while I pay it off. Feels liberating, especially since then therapy and a lot of other major life choices helped me grow past this and use it as a learning experience. AMA

** trying to respond to as much people as I can. Didn't think I'd get this many comments**

For some context, I'm a 28 year old man, I got out of a 5 year relationship where i was codependent on someone when this all began , had no real friends as they were losers, and was lonely/desperate to make connections/ afraid to be alone. So I was in a vulnerable place and these apps sold me on the bells and whistles of meeting someone and being successful/standing out, if I paid for the premiums
