Dating in 2020 isn't easy. Between the endless Tinder swipes and empty hookups, it's a wonder anyone finds love nowadays. But I refuse to believe that it's impossible and I firmly hold onto the idea that true romance is still achievable. But has love always been this hard to find? It would seem so... a magazine article titled '129 Ways to Get a Husband' was discovered in a 1958 edition of American magazine McCall's. These — quite frankly — sexist and offensive tips are hilarious to look through now and see how women were encouraged to find love back in the day. I've decided to go through one tip and a time and see whether or not it would actually work in 2020. Let's take a look at tip #9...
In 2012, the invention of Tinder changed the landscape of love, dating, and relationships as we know it. Gone are the days where flirting required real-life, face-to-face interaction — instead, welcome to the age of virtual romance, where your next hook up is only one swipe away. As a woman who uses dating apps, I know how easy it is to feel like a small disposable fish in an endlessly big pond of younger, better looking, and more heavily photoshopped fish. But I often wonder if courtship was really that much easier before online dating took over, or whether the struggle to find good-quality men has been one that women have faced since the dawn of time...?

Online dating is a real hit and miss; usually, it's a case of swiping thousands of frog's profiles until you find a prince or princess. Most profiles are pretty generic, but sometimes you encounter ones that make you wonder if their authors truly understand the subtle difference between confidence and shamelessness. The profiles below make it clear that they did not and we don't know whether to laugh or cry reading them.

The rules of quarantine and social distancing are simple: stay at home, do not see anyone and definitely do not hook up with people on dating apps. Ok, the last one isn't an official rule, but it's kind of obvious. For some people, however, it doesn't seem so obvious, and despite the world being in lockdown, there is some folk out there still trying to carry on as normal and get laid, using Tinder and other apps. While we're all for having virtual Facetime dates, for the time being, meeting up with someone in real life is risky for you, for them and for other vulnerable people. Can love (and sex) wait until coronavirus leaves us? Apparently not for these people...
Valentine's Day is fast approaching, throwing single people everywhere into a Hallmark-induced blind panic of swiping on dating apps like Tinder, desperately trying to find love. But as fun as endless hours of virtual flirting can be, dating apps can also be vapid spaces filled with inappropriate and unsolicited (often one-way) sexual exchanges.
One artist who experienced such interactions on Tinder is Dafna Steinberg. She was inspired to create a collection called "I'm Willing To Lie About How We Met", in which she uses real opening lines men sent her in personal messages on the app. She sets these "against a backdrop, of romantic imagery from advertising, romance novels, and fashion editorials found in vintage magazines and books." Her project "examines the differences between the superficial hopes of romantic love, the stark reality found on dating sites and trying to reconcile the two while combating the misogyny of 'hook up' culture."
And they say romance is dead…
