There is a new app for smartphones: it determines where the bachelors are nearby. David Fonkinos, writer and columnist for PSYCHOLOGIES, talks about who can use it and how to find love in the world of advanced technology.
All new inventions are needed only to make life easier for us — including in our personal lives. One of the recent mobile applications can easily identify all singles and singles nearby. What technology has come to: look for love using GPS!
Of course, it is worth clarifying: «love» is only in the physical sense. How can such an acquaintance end? It is unlikely that with the help of an application to a mobile phone you can become a happy newlywed. But it’s worth recognizing: every relationship has its own charm. In an “easy relationship” there is no oppressive tension of seriousness: you can be natural, it’s not scary to disappoint your partner, because everything will not last long … Besides, who knows? Any little thing can lead to serious consequences. However, before we start the story, we need to meet!
- Bored… is love over?
And the activation of the program is the first step to success. From now on, all the lonely people around who want to get to know each other are displayed on the phone screen. Where to look for love? Obviously, the easiest thing to do is to wait for a vacation and go where it can be found without the help of technology: a resort. One can imagine how the usual pandemonium on the beaches will change: crowds of men walking between sunbeds in search of single women … with phones in their hands, like tourists with metal detectors — in search of treasure.
Yes, «romantic adventures» with the use of high technology are a bit like treasure hunting, a bit like fishing. On this, perhaps, all the romance is exhausted. When approaching the “object”, the phone gives a signal — beeps. Quicker! Let’s take a sneak peek: if you don’t like the «object», then you can continue to «look for love» further, as if nothing had happened. If suddenly there is sympathy, then you can slow down, and then … “Hi! Are you alone here? Just like me … ”You can start better — less artificially. But, gaining in convenience, we lose in spontaneity. The charm of chance disappears. What do we want more: a guaranteed result or a romantic adventure?
- Do you need love for good sex?
What should be the first meeting: reliably calculated or romantically unpredictable? After all, there is something intriguing about not knowing anything about your counterpart. You can give yourself up to dreams and hopes with pleasure … Perhaps disappointment is not the worst thing at all. What will happen to the fearless dreamer who used to bother all the girls in a row in search of “the one”, stepping on the same rake again and again? From now on, his path is safe: all precautions are taken, you can seek love rationally, without making mistakes. If it goes on like this, we will have to invent an application that creates chance and fate …
