Read the following passage about online dating and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to
indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 21 to 28.
Psychologists have found many advantages and disadvantages to online dating. Among the many
criticisms aimed at online dating, the most severe concern is its effects on people's self-esteem and mental health.
Swipe left or right is the main feature of popular dating apps, where users quickly look at profiles.
However, this system is criticized for being superficial. A study showed that users often feel less satisfied with
their appearance. Jessica Strübel found that after a while, users begin to feel less like unique, special individuals
and more like they're disposable. This feeling leads to users becoming increasingly sensitive about their looks
and bodies, heightening self-consciousness. Dating apps also added to the idea that there's always something
better around the corner, which further pressures users into trying to appear more attractive.
Dating apps not only harm self-esteem but also alter perceptions of relationships. By accelerating the
dating process, these apps encourage poor social behavior. For instance, it's not unusual for people to ignore
"likes" and messages or to lose interest and cut off communication. This behavior would have been considered
extremely rude in the past. But with online dating, it is a common reality.
