Online dating is no longer a new novel trend, its a part of most single folks’ daily life. Over at BuzzFeed, they asked singles how the online dating sphere has changed in the last decade, and here’s what they had to say:

1. “People are less interested in actually putting in some effort to get to know you these days — I often see ‘I don’t want a pen pal.’ Well, I don’t wanna meet someone who is probably a weirdo immediately.”

“Message length for sure; it’s rare to get even a partial sentence these days.”

 “Websites and apps might have changed, but people’s mentality is the same, same people on every app, plenty of ‘ghost profiles,’ weird personas are more confident than the genuine ones looking to be loved.”

 “The apps and sites were simpler. I had more luck, but maybe just because I was young. I’m just lost now.”

—Patrick Snipes

“So I’ve been using Tinder for about 10 years now. I’ve noticed that profiles used to be more adventurous, and some very (unintentionally) funny; I’d compile tons of screenshots and have a blast showing them to my friends. Now most people are very much content to just post three (bad) photos and their Instagram account.”
