Why Tinder can make it HARDER to find love: Excessive swiping creates 'partner choice overload'

With Valentine's Day on the horizon, many singletons might be swiping on their dating apps with a little more urgency than normal. Unfortunately, a new study from the University of Vienna has found that this excessive searching could be doing more harm than good in the quest for love. Psychologists surveyed 464 young people on their dating app use, including how much they swipe and how they decide whether to go left or right on a profile. They were also asked if they compare themselves to others or become overwhelmed when browsing profiles, as well as about their feelings towards being single. A correlation was found between excessive swiping and a fear of being alone forever, feeling bad about one's life and so-called'partner choice overload'.
