<human>: Because of online dating.  

 The main reason:  It makes people put much less effort into making something work because we're all (men and women) easily discarded and replaceable.   

-Really clicking with someone doesn't matter because you go back online think, "I had a great time but this person looks more interesting so I'll just stop talking to the other person and hope he/she gets the hint."  

-What was once maybe a minor annoyance is now a dealbreaker 

-Being exclusive now can take months instead of a few weeks.  

-Persistence is now seen as being creepy

-Being "friends only" means nothing  I've kept in touch and been great friends with girls I liked because we actually met in person through friends so I think the friend zone is bullshit.  It has never happened online, even if I found her really interesting since no one is looking for friendships.

-Why give the same person another shot when you know there's someone else out there for you?

And it sucks for both men and women.  I'm guilty of this too now.  I was naive in the beginning, had awesome dates with girls (got pretty hot and heavy on with the second one I dated), and tried putting effort in into making something work, only to get the cold shoulder a week later.  I became the same way.    I've become unrealistic in what I want since I'm now dating more than one person at a time.

At this point I only use online dating for fun and go in knowing it's not something I'll get a lasting relationship out of.  

As to why I'm still online?  Like many people I work long hours,  including weekends and have almost 0 time to go out and meet someone.

Can you give me the gist of the text in a nutshell?
<bot>: online dating sucks and I want to give up but I can't because I have limited options in meeting people elsewhere.  Someone change my mind.
