Women on dating apps suck. Men on dating apps suck. The fact that it wasn't always this way tells me that either 1, people or 2, the apps have caused interactions to degrade.
Dating apps are not incentivized to make successful matches because then you don’t need the app.
the apps. OK Cupid was pretty much perfect back when I was single.
It was so good before Match Group got their hands on it…
Match group should be broken up and its leadership held responsible for any harms we can find from their prioritizing profits over happiness.
Crimes against humanity would only be a bit of a stretch in my mind. Declining birth rates and a loneliness epidemic, and these chumps have been making it worse for profit.
It was great. You could answer questions to strengthen your profile and they use it to get you matches. I hear it sucks now.
Oh you were one of those users that actually answered questions on your profile.
It was always the most attractive users with quality photos getting matches, actually building your profile was seen as desperate/a red flag for men and women I matched with.
I'd argue we just culturally have a higher number of semi-internet savvy people with a phone now vs. those people willing to sit down and design a profile on their desktop or laptop. More conventionally attractive people are accessing dating platforms now than before because tinder normalized it culturally.
I guess my point is, online dating has always sucked if you were born with the uggo.
They also did some wonderfully interesting data mining.
E.g. a first message containing the word awesome added 18% to the chances of getting a reply. They also discussed how paid dating sites did best by keeping you from finding a permanent partner.
All those blog posts vanished when they got brought out. Thankfully I found my partner before then, but those after are screwed (or not, depending on the wordplay!)
The good ones all got taken, and all that's left are the losers.
*People suck
Not on the first date, though, right?
Depends on how well the date goes.
