Dating apps feeding the idea of many options #sadiakhan is against dating apps because they perpetuate the idea that there are many options available.

This abundance of options leads to a lack of investment in relationships. The speaker compares it to having many cars or items in the fridge, which can lead to neglect. Training the brain to think there are many alternatives affects how people treat their partners. "It feeds the idea that there's so many fish in the sea. And the moment you think that there are so many alternatives and options, you invest less in whatever you have." Impact on divorce rates and relationships Sadia Khan believes that the prevalence of divorce and failed relationships is due to the mindset of having alternatives. In previous generations, there were fewer options, leading to potentially happier relationships. Social media and dating apps are blamed for ruining relationships. Sadia Khan questions whether people are truly happy with the current dating culture. "And I think that's the reason why divorce is so common. I think that's the reason why relationships have fallen apart. And I think that's the main reason why relationships in our grandparents' generations worked. There was no alternatives." Design of dating apps

Dating apps are designed to keep users engaged and using the platform. Each app has its own strategy to retain users, as they are businesses. The goal is to keep users on the app for as long as possible. Sadia Khan highlights that the design of dating apps is not focused on fostering genuine connections. "You've got to remember, it's a business. So Tinder is designed to keep you on Tinder. Bumble is designed to keep you on Bumble. It's a corporation designed for you to meet the love of your life. You meet the love of your life, they want to keep you on there and they want to keep you on there as long as possible. And when you realize that's how it's designed, you realize it's never designed for you to find connection."
