She said “You won’t find people like me on dating apps. You’ll only find losers there the people who haven’t achieved anything in their lives” she said. “If you haven’t been able to meet anyone in the office or through your parents and relatives and you’ve ended up on a dating app imagine what sort of character you are.” Expanding her criticism she described dating culture as crude and problematic. “Everybody has a need be it financial physical or anything else… Every woman and man has needs but how do we address them?
