I know a woman who hasn’t had the best luck with guys. A self-described country girl, she’s a full-time student and works as many hours as she can to pay the bills. She doesn’t have a lot of time to hit the dating scene, but fortunately there’s an app for that! She sifts from the pool of eligible bachelors on her phone, swiping from one photo to the next, until she finds a match. It hasn’t been working out too well.
