Humans evolved in environments with limited dating choices, contrasting sharply with the overload of options in online dating today. This abundance often leads to diminished satisfaction, increased regret, and cognitive overload. Dating apps can exacerbate these feelings, resulting in lower self-esteem and higher anxiety among users overwhelmed by choices. Those struggling with too many options may develop a rejection mindset, hindering their dating success. To combat this, setting time limits, choosing appropriate apps, and using filters intentionally can reduce the feeling of overwhelm and enhance the online dating experience.
People tend to be less satisfied with their choice and report greater regret, stress, and anxiety when choosing from a large number of options.
The concept of choice overload explains the difficulty faced by people when choosing from too many options, particularly evident in the context of online dating.
