Don’t beat yourself up if you’re mad at yourself for ‘not going on enough dates’ or ‘not having enough fun’ while you’re single. The truth is that the odds are often really stacked against you in a way that’s out of your control. Lets give you some examples:
Not everyone on dating apps are single, or even human!
Did you know that up to half the people on most apps are not even single? Old accounts, bots, scammers and – this is a fact – LOADS of real people who are just looking for validation online and who will never go on a date are clogging up dating apps, getting in the way of you finding real connection and wasting your precious time.
You really think you’re meeting people at clubs and bars? Really?
Just admit it: they’re crowded, noisy, and everyone is just keeping to themselves in their own tight click. Sometimes the majority of people who go to these places are not single, and if you’re at a stage in your life where your work, study, friends, family or career are more important to you than endless late nights, then speed dating is a much better, less time consuming alternative because everyone at our events is actually single and looking to date.
Are your social circles ‘dried up?’
Face it: The single people in your friendship and work circles might have dried up. People hook up, move on, leave the group or go overseas and all of a sudden there is no one in your ‘pool’ that you can date – maybe no one even knows of anyone who you can date, well, Nectar has the solution: fun events where everyone is single!
You probably hate your dating app
According to a poll by SurveryMonkey, roughly 56% of adult men and women view dating apps as either ‘somewhat’ or ‘very negative’. Many single people see these apps as a kind of chore or necessity, at Nectar we believe that dating and finding connections should be about going out and having fun – not about doing something that feels like brushing your teeth!
Dating apps are not as private as you think
Many dating apps and online dating sites feature vague privacy policies, even statements declaring that they cannot guarantee the safety of your data and profile. Many apps give their user data away to third parties, as well as make them feature on other sites and apps that they did not sign up for. Intimate details and information on these sites can be sold off to third parties, or vulnerable to hacking – something that has happened before.
At Nectar, we value your privacy and only collect the bare minimum of information when you sign up, and that is all. Everything that is said and done at our events has no digital footprint.
