Idk dating seems fine, much easier and safer through apps where people can easily be filtered and sorted based on compatibility rather than the rapey in person approaches where you don't know if someone is there to steal your wallet or entrap you into something.
I don't see how the app will protect you if someone lies on there to meet someone and then rob them
Much easier to spot bullshit on an app. Duh obviously don't meet at a place where you can get robbed either.
Yes of course easier to spot BS when you are limited to only what that person wants you to see through a predefined interface.
Sure maybe if you're older and fall for fake news just because you believe everything you read on Facebook, but it doesn't take much to spot baloney
"Don't meet at a place where you can get robbed"... hmm, big public spaces where an individual person lifting a pocketbook goes unnoticed are out, as are more private spaces where you can be held at gunpoint... so that leaves... where exactly?
City centre? Hands on pockets and bags at all times, keep to the wall and observe the crowd, be mindful of exits, all the usual stuff?
