The new love dialect: Clubhouse
Could you ever imagine that you might as well be falling for a person for their voice through an audio channel? Well, that too in the presence of number of strangers; present in the same group.
I couldn’t even imagine nor comply with the situation, but it’s literally happening right now. Oh yes! Two strangers are melting with passion as soon as they hear each others voice. A few of them might discover some sort of spark between them at this very moment…
Clubhouse is known for all the gossips chop-chop because it’s an app where you get attuned to humans who are online.. Waiting for you to join the group and become a part of their much active discussion..It’s the new normal and trust me, some of the people have been devouringly using the app more like a dating platform.. Making Clubhouse equivalent to Bumble, Tinder, Hinge and what not.
Don’t let yourself get surprised when you come across groups titled ‘Shoot your shot’, ‘hottest singles in the city’ or ‘Looking for Boyfriend/Girlfriend’
Love and dating in the time of pandemic has changed tremendously. And to my surprise, people are adapting to the given norms quite easily. How? Well, as Darwin suggests it’s important for us to ‘evolve’ in order to survive the changes.. So here we are re-evolving the ways and redefining Chemistry formulas while we actively seek for someone to re-ignite that lost spark with.
I happen to actually experience a very interesting story over Clubhouse. Well would you be shocked if I say that those two individuals are dating and coming across a real strong couple? I can assure you that this is a 100% true story. I happen to be a part of a very interesting story that could be portrayed much like a Bollywood movie; named ‘2 states’, in this movie two people coming from entirely different states meet up (in this case online) and discover tremendous amount of spark between them.. I feel elated to have happened to come across a story like so.. Anyway, who would have ever imagined that falling in love would just become a mere chance of finding that someone special through some weird algorithms (set up by these social-media dialects). As astonishing it might sound, I have come across many stories like the one I mentioned earlier, where two people happen to meet luck by chance and to be honest they are doing exceptionally well. When I tell the same story to my mom and other relatives.. The reactions that I usually get is full of astonishment and surprise. After all, if you sit down to observe the past scenarios, you will see this huge shift in how people used to meet. Earlier it was just a matter of locking eyes at a club, a family function, or an exchange of glances during a marriage function. It was enough to set two souls on fire, but today it’s just a matter of a display picture, voice notes, live audio channel and to be honest technology is evolving rapidly. So I wonder what’s next…
To have a look at the other side of the coin. I would love to mention about the statistics that denotes: loads of relationships and marriages are succumbing to death lately... A failing marriage has its roots attributed to the fact that there are a lot of options available these days and when I say a lot of options I am talking about hundreds of them..The earlier psyche of people to be committed to an individual irrespective of their flaws and accepting for what they are has somewhat succumbed to a new ideology where people think they do not need to commit or settle for any less because they are aware of the fact that; there are numerous options available who are absolutely more intellectual, beautiful or hotter than their current partner out there..
Here’s a short video that thoroughly explains every dimension; how having too many options could also get dangerous for our heart-matters:
I mean these special online stories are playing a huge role in the lives of many of us; who are indeed on a lookout for a partner, especially for people who still have that hope. But it’s essential for us to consider all the psyche behind forming mindful relationships rather than jumping from one person to another..
What is your take on it?
