Why Dating Apps are Bad For Guys: With the advancement of technology, the trend of dating apps has increased a lot in the last few years. Dating apps become a great support for boys who are looking for a female partner for themselves. Through this digital technology, many young boys want to overcome their emotional and physical emptiness, but as attractive as it seems, it is actually equally dangerous. Let us know why using dating apps is risky for boys.

Why are dating apps risky for boys?

1. Fraud

The biggest danger for boys on dating apps is cyber fraud. Many times, fraudsters take personal details from boys through fake profiles or demand money. Boys trust attractive profiles, and in return share their personal information. These details can be used against them later.

2. Blackmailing 

Many times personal photos or videos are exchanged during conversations on dating apps. In such a situation, if these videos or photos fall into the hands of the wrong person, he can blackmail the boys. There have been many cases where a huge amount has been extorted through blackmailing or those photos have been misused. This is also called sextortion.

3. Emotional fraud

Many times boys get emotionally attached on dating apps in the hope of a true relationship, but on the other hand many girls cheat them just to pass time or by showing fake emotions. This kind of cheating can cause tension, depression, and sadness.

4. Risky for yourself

Meeting a stranger on dating apps can sometimes be dangerous from a safety point of view. In many incidents, when boys went to meet someone after chatting online, they became victims of robbery, violence or other types of crimes.

5. Data theft and loss of privacy

Dating apps require personal information, photos and other data to create a profile. If these apps are not secure or the data is leaked, your confidential information can be misused.
