When people hold potential partners to the standards they would like to be held to immature people call it "settling."

How did you get that from what OP wrote?

I just had this conversation with some of my friends yesterday. And I agree with you, mostly. I don't think dating apps are inherently a problem. I do agree with the fact that I see people handling romantic relationships like business transactions. Almost just having a checklist of the minimum requirements and as long as someone fulfills them they start a romantic relationship although sometimes there's no actual feelings involved. Especially as I see people getting older the more common it becomes. I assume it's a mix of probably a looming fear of ending up "alone" and also social pressure. Now, obviously it's none of my business what people do in their personal relationships but I would be lying if I said that seeing friends settle with people they don't really have any feelings for doesn't make me kinda sad. I also disagree with the whole cheating angle. If someone isn't happy in their relationship just break up. Cheating is just dumb.

I would say that starting a relationship through online dating where most people start by texting, video calling, or calling each other is a great way to really get to know the individual based off their personality and just about them as a person.
