The reality is, we all start as products. Before anyone takes someone else seriously as a potential mate on dating apps, requirements have to be met.

Human beings aren’t mindless robots. We see, think, and feel. When we are seeking a potential partner, what we see, think, and feel are extremely pertinent.

That said, what we see comes first.

Human beings are visual creatures. We have to like what we see before we allow ourselves to think and feel.

Purchasing a kettle on Amazon or eBay has similarities to how we go about picking a mate on dating apps. You liked what you saw when you were presented with that kettle as you were browsing through the options. This led to a click and a purchase.

Like that kettle, we are all products.

A customer has to like what they see on the outside before they are willing to explore what is on the inside.

Humanity has always been this way in how we go about finding a potential partner. Dating apps are digital outlets that are a mere reflection of our primal instincts.
