As I sit here watching “The Bachelor,” I can't help but laugh at the idea that thousands of women basically "apply" online to meet this man with the hopes of marrying him in the end. My laughing came to an abrupt halt when I realized that my own dating life is even less romantic than these women’s.

Today’s dating culture today is dominated by dating sites and apps that are based on looks alone (I'm as guilty as the next person when it comes to using these apps). At least on “The Bachelor” they actually get to know each other and for some reason none of the guys/girls are as crazy as the ones I've had the pleasure of meeting.

The most bizarre story I have to share about dating apps comes from when I had the grand idea to download the infamous "Tinder.” Big mistake.
