Social Network(s) and Attraction

It used to be fun, the days of MSN Messenger and Friendster.
Where communicating easily was meant to be used on a computer.
Not so much expecting and the needs to reply instantly is there?

Those were when people, especially girls, aren't as egoistic as today.
Let me list a few of the social networks that are available now:
  • Facebook
  • Twitter
  • Instagram
  • Skout
  • Badoo
  • MeowChat
  • Okcupid
  • BeeTalk
  • Tagged
and many more...
Some 'play' app where you like or dislike a 'photo':
  • Paktor
  • Tinder
  • BeeTalk
From my understanding of psychology and female's needs, all these networks and apps are social busters. ( And the companies generate revenue endlessly. )

Seeing how most of them 'advertise' their Instagram accounts everywhere but end up setting private. How contradicting.

They constantly post photos, 'demanding' likes, yes just likes.. to make themselves feel good.
They reject people/guys who they think aren't worthy based on a photo.
Their needs and expectations increase to a point of ego.
They create billions of layers of walls within their heart.
They get bored REALLY easily.

The males will make use of those to 'hunt'.

While commuting, take a look around you.
Count the number of male and female on the cabin of the train or the carriage of the bus you are in, who are looking down at their mobile/portable device.

Tell me, are there at least 90% and most of them are female?
I am quite sure because that's how I have been observing almost every single days.
Honestly, even the number of guys are increasing.
Plus even older people have 'participated' in this act.

If the feeling of attraction is infused from eye contact between opposite genders, how then will there be attraction when they just keep looking at their mobile/portable devices?
So instead, people make use of apps to 'fill in the lost attraction' all to the point of finding out creeps, stalkers and losers.
Being genuine, the minority, doesn't stand a chance.

Sure, we live in a world of filling needs by ourselves, with thanks to technology, but I feel it is becoming robotic and emotionless.

It became a habit and people will not erase a habit that easily.
Also, it isn't surprising how developed countries have low birthrates, all stemming from these nonsense, that contributes to one of the factor.

If epigenetic is true, such habit will be passed down to the later generation and there we will see an even worse group of people.
Or maybe not, since I will then be too old to care or actually gone from the later biological junkyard.

Then again, all these stems from personal expectation of someone.
Which leads to a whole lot of disappointments and they get annoyed.

Frankly, all these platforms have became a kind of social experiment for me.
Experiencing, being critical and then analysing the outcome. Yup it definitely is.

Yep, continuing all these mindless chasing on our mobile devices will most likely lead to an abhorrent effect.

EDIT: I've just read an article from TIME.
Shirley Zussman said on the evils of cell phones:
I’m shocked at the lack of connection between people because of iPhones. There is so much less of actual physical connection. There’s less touching, there’s less talking, there’s less holding, there’s less looking. People get pleasure from looking at each other. From a smile, and touching. We need touching to make us feel wanted and loved. That’s lacking so much in this generation. Lack of looking, lack of touching, lack of smiling. I don’t get it. I don’t get how people aren’t missing that, and don’t seem to think they are.
Those are words from a 100 year old.
Goodness, I am 23 and I freaking know that already!
