Note from the publisher: Title: The Cosmetic Conundrum: Dating Apps and the Pressure to Look Perfect
As the dating app landscape continues to evolve, so too does the pressure to conform to unrealistic beauty standards. In a quest to find the perfect match, many individuals are succumbing to the pressure of looking a certain way, leading to a comedy of cosmetic desperation.
Recently, after using dating apps for three months, I made the decision to delete them altogether. The experience had become a constant reminder of the superficial dynamics at play in the process of "matching" with others. The meticulous effort required to curate the perfect imagery to catch the "big fish" in the sea was overwhelming, and I found myself spending more time on my appearance than on genuine connections with potential partners.
The cosmetic conundrum is a vicious cycle, where the pursuit of physical perfection becomes an all-consuming obsession. It's a pressure that's not only limited to the dating world but also perpetuates harmful beauty standards in society as a whole.
