2. I think that for them, it could be different and special because they only know this way to know new people.
3. I think that this type of app is very superficial because you only know the phisycal of the people and if you got lucky, you could read an interesting description of this person.
4. I think so because the people have many ways to talk themselves but then they only talk through chats or sms as Whatsapp. In actually people barely talk in person to find love.
