Dating app overstimulation just can't be very healthy for the human brain. I don't think people realize that?
Post Body

It's said that the human brain can only take in so much stimulation until it begins to be more counterproductive than productive. For example, it's not good to take in so much social media and stay logged into it. It's not necessarily good that we have all of this new music and TV shows streaming at our fingertips because consuming it in mass isn't a healthy way to go about digesting it, since it creates addictive/gratification habits. There's a study that says humans can only have X amount of friendships before not being able to sustain them in a worthwhile way.

Can't the same be said about dating apps? I often run into women on apps who are overwhelmed by the number of matches, messages and likes they receive. I can't imagine if I were to put myself in their shoes that I'd be able to fairly digest what was going on in front of me, weighing which were the best options, and I think having too much options would probably lead me to not make any decision at all, and therefore be dissatisfied with my dating experience.

And yet, I don't think people realize that, because in some fashion, there's that addictive/gratification habit about it which keeps them wanting to stimulate their senses with likes, messages, and options?
