British Man Seeks Help for Unhealthy Tinder Addiction
- British man sought therapy for his Tinder addiction after obsessively swiping on 500 profiles per day for validation and without intention of meeting matches
- Got "high" from matches and "crushed" when women didn't respond, affecting his mood and personality
- Talked to 10 women at a time waiting for replies; knew he'd eventually have to meet someone but was uninterested when conversations reached that point
- Stayed addicted to apps even while in a relationship; broke up and went back to apps, worsening his mental health
- Was diagnosed with disorders and struggles to stay off dating apps despite recognizing his compulsive use is unhealthy
