Why You Won’t Make Any Friends Using Online Meeting Apps

Two days ago I tried out an online app that I haven’t heard of before. I thought I wanted to make online friends and see something different. Also, to learn about other parts of the world. To chat with people from all over the world. The app was called Azar Web: Best Video Chat. After using this live video app for two days, I concluded that it’s filled with middle-aged to old men. I’m not saying this to be negative or critical, but most of the people on their looks poor and doesn’t use English. I have nothing against this particular app and really enjoyed using it. The only thing I don’t like about it is that locations like the UK or USA users don’t talk to people outside of their country. When they see my location, it creates automatic disinterest. Why? Is it because Thailand looks like a third world country? This entry is about using online apps and I’m not going to go into details why Thailand isn’t really a third world country. Yeah, there are poor places in Thai slums. Any part of the world, I’m sure, has at least one poor neighborhood. Something I found out is that people from countries like Turkey, India, Egypt, Korea, etc. would speak to me, but the ones from European countries wouldn’t speak to me. Is it because they have something against countries like Thailand? Probably, but Thailand is a country that has made great advances over the years. 

So, do I like this app? Yes and no. Why? Because it’s filled with biased users. I have nothing against poor people or those who live in poverty. I already know the answer to why these people will talk to me. Poor people are easier to reach out to or approach. Middle-classed Europeans don’t talk to someone from a “Third World Country.” According to the internet, Thailand isn’t a third world country.

The question is, is the app worth your time? Not really. Did I learn anything new? Yes. Non-European users are easier to start a conversation with and Europeans don’t start conversations with other nationalities. I’m saying all of this because it’s a fact. I have nothing against anyone. Just stating the truth about users on this app.
