Abolish Dating Apps

Summary

Dating apps need to be "void and null and just abolished," according to a rider who's convinced modern romance has hit rock bottom. She tells Kareem that while the apps were fun at first, now people are just swiping without actually talking to each other. The irony? Every single person she's dated has been from an app. But clearly it's not working, she argues, pointing to studies showing people are more single and having way less sex than before. Her solution is simple: ditch the apps, go back to real life, and "everyone needs to just up their rizz." Less incels, more actual human connection. When Kareem asks if she has a boyfriend, the answer is no, and she quickly shuts down his suggestion that people hit her DMs.
