It's what I liked about Okcupid in particular before it got ratfucked. It had 1000+ questions with ranked importance to the users and built a fairly accurate matching system around it. Dating is such a miserable experience, especially the first few dates where I'm learning red flags. A lot of them were weeded out early with that.
100%.
I think there's a lot of money in just making Okcupid the way it was 10-12 years ago today. It's like how every crustacean turns into crabs in the long term right now. Every dating app has just become a different color of Tinder as they chase the lowest common denominator to extract profit.
I would honestly rather be lonely than start dating again at this point.
I don't think they've realized the connotations of putting "about me" and "pdf file" together.
If my resume is in a PDF file does that mean I'm literally Epstein?

Hello, I’m Israel Epstein
You mean like a profile bio?
Or like in a store where they try to sell you a product there's a description about it to try to convince you to purchase it.
I mean we basically have that with services like Tinder and Bumble already. But I can definitely see it being commodified further.

I was thinking something more sincere and candid but yeah I get your point.

4 pages? Writing a fucking dating profile is too much for some people.
