Two hundred years ago, Jane Austen lived in a world
where single men boasted vast estates; single ladies
were expected to speak several languages, sing and play
the piano. In both cases, it was, of course, advantageous
if you looked good too. So, how much has — or hasn't
— changed? Dating apps opaquely outline the demands
of today's relationship market; users ruminate long and
hard over their choice of pictures and what they write in
their biographies to hook in potential lovers, and that's just
your own profile. What do you look for in a future partner's
profile — potential signifiers of a popular personality, a
good job, a nice car? These apps are a poignant reminder
of the often classist attitudes we still adopt, as well as
the financial and aesthetic expectations we demand from
potential partners.
