Has the rise of social media & online dating made it easier or harder?

I've thought about a few things that have been said about getting quality women and getting laid before the rise of social media. Being that I was finishing high school when Myspace was invented I never really felt the effects of social media until I got to college. Then as I was finishing college Facebook would finally kickoff and from there it was social media taking over.

Growing up during my times actually made kids more social because they had to interact with each other. When I was first starting going out I rarely saw that many people texting on their cellphones as I do now. Now I go out it is like almost everyone has a smartphone and approaching is not as easy as it used to be.

Then I also think about the other side of it, invention of apps such as Tinder have made it so easy for most guys to get laid. I haven't tried Tinder out yet because I have been in an LTR ever since it has taken off. Online dating has made it easier to find women that you would not be able to meet in the real world but then there is also the complaint about 5s having high standards and most hot women being that much tougher to get.

I don't even know what side to take on this matter. Social media + Online dating has given a rise to many opportunities but many have said it has boosted the egos of average looking girls to where every 5 thinks she is a 9.

What's your take on it?

I find it's mostly decreased the value of women. Because of social media and texting, many have become attention wh0res who are glued to their phones and Facebook. They simply cannot imagine being without these vices, and spending time with you (and without their phone) is boring in comparison to having multiple guys fawning them with attention.

Quality lies in the woman who isn't glued to her phone or the internet.
