'Social Communication has Gone Mainstream'

What happened to those good old days, when approaching a girl to say hello and ask for her number was considered OK? Its OFFICIAL, communication has gone mainstream!
This days with Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Whatsapp and let's not forget Tinder, communication has become YES easier but can we state for the better?

Let's catfish the truth, I have asked several of my girlfriends and we could all not help but wonder, why is it that guys this days look and don't approach? even when they are clearly showing signs of interests. And then you have apps like Tinder where it is just oh so easy to break the ice with a 'hey baby you look so sexy' kinda line, LOL seriously? lets face it 99% of men wouldn't have the gutts to open a conversation like that face to face. 
So we came to the realization that, besides how easy and simple Social Media this days may facilitate our lives, to the point of determining who will be our next date on the line, it has in so many way's changed the natural, humane and traditional social communication. 
Guys no longer approach but instead they rather swipe right. Apps like Tinder have open a world of unrealistic expectations to both men and woman, who tend to think they have the world on a swipe of their fingers.

For example, ladies have you realized when we go to a bar, a club or even sometimes a restaurant, it's all eyes and faces, gestures but no words, in fact most of the guys are on their phones texting, probably trying to catfish the girl besides them on Tinder. Have we seriously gotten to this point?
And what about the whole pretentious loooong endless conversations, when face to face both men and women turn out to be something else? Gentlemen, it may be easy to lie on a chat room, but you can't lie about you height, accent, nationality and even size for that matter. All that chatty talk, just flushes down the toilet on the very first seconds of our very first impression. Although, I do have to admit some times for the better others for the worst. 

So here is a little tip for all of you single bachelors and bachelorettes out there 'this Tinder syndrome has got to stop' we either learn how to use it, or we might as well call it a sex app, YES you read it. 
Most of us are tired of being treated as tenderloin on a butcher's shop, being judged as easy just because we are on Tinder; FYI it is meant to be a social app to meet people, not to arrange your next one night stand.
So let's to take matters into our own hands, set your standards straight, don't lower your boundaries, believe me if a guy or a girl likes you he or she will move mountains to get to know you.
And no matter how annoying is that little voice inside of you, learn to control it, you are not alone and YES there are plenty of 'fish in the sea' if you don't believe me then just swipe right!

Dedicated to all my single ladies out there, don't despair 'monogamist may have not gone mainstream just yet, but who said is impossible, when the word itself says Im-possible.'
