A Brit seeks therapy after swiping a staggering 500 Tinder profiles each day

A British man's intense addiction to the popular dating app Tinder led him down a path of seeking therapy after swiping through a staggering 500 profiles each day. Revealing his struggle with seeking validation through the platform, he confessed to experiencing a rush while engaging with it, yet harboring no intentions of meeting any of the women he matched with.

The man, whose identity remains undisclosed, admitted that the validation he sought from Tinder became a central focus in his life, overshadowing his real-world interactions. His addiction extended to other dating platforms like Hinge and Bumble, where he would compulsively swipe through profiles, engaging with multiple women simultaneously.

Despite briefly finding companionship through Tinder, the man's obsession ultimately drove him back to the app even after the relationship ended. It wasn't until he sought therapy that he was diagnosed with depression and borderline personality disorder, shedding light on the detrimental impact of his dating app addiction on his mental health.

Now, having recognized the destructive influence of dating apps on his well-being, he has made the decision to abstain from their use, prioritizing his mental health and seeking healthier avenues for connection and validation.
