Taken at face value, it paints the guy as someone too immature, ADHD, or busy tweeting and playing candy crush to actually be social with a female human for a couple uninterrupted hours. If that's "fine enough" for you or his potential mates, I guess everything old farts say about the smartphone generation is true.
i guess i'm just drawing a separation between "too immature... to actually be social with a female human for a couple uninterrupted hours" and choosing to be a casual weenie on the first date and give yourself an escape route from an encounter with a girl you met on the Internet.
there's probably a strong overlap between dudes who are obsessed with smartphone dating apps and dudes who are too immature to sit still and talk to someone, but we don't have to paint with that broad brush. maybe Adam Diamond is a smartphone gash hound who is interested in scooping up casual tail, not romantic steak dinners. maybe he actually works long hours as a movie trailer editor (lol). i don't know what his motives are, but it just seems like everyone went from "doesn't like wasting time on bad first dates" to "nerd dressed like Edward Snowden dating on his phone sucks at life".
