Online dating is an untamed beast—
wild, unpredictable, emotionally unavailable.
The possibility of a real connection
feels more distant than ever.
People treat people like objects,
disposable, rejectable,
“not real” enough to deserve respect.
Mistreatment is rife,
an ecosystem that thrives on disregard,
tearing at your mental health,
chipping away at your self-worth.
It promises no guarantee of love,
And only guarantees a heap of problems
you never wanted, and never needed.
