Online dating is fascinating in how bad it is. It's like 80% the fault of capitalism, and 20% users just doing a bad job and making it worse. People write messages no deeper than "lol" and "nm hbu" and then wonder why they don't have any interesting conversations like on the tv
It's been almost a year since I've tried online dating. I can't imagine what the catfishes are like now that they have easy access to generative AI.
I would tell you, but in those 2 months I got exactly 1 like, and it was from a dude trolling with woman in the profile instead of man, possibly a friend of the dude doing the troll.
It’s terrifying
So I had a couple of married women tell me what was wrong
"You need anyone but whoever took those photos to take those photos. And no selfies."
So now I have to find people that can take pictures and leave the house. Modern dating standards really are unrealistic.
There's this guy, his name is Nathan. I think he could help you. He graduated from business school with really good grades.
I feel personally attacked
Yeah—what the heck. Might as well tell people how fat and ugly I am while they're at 'cause this does me no favors.
I managed to find love through online dating, but it's true that you need to put a lot of time and effort into making an interesting and informative profile, sorting through all the low-effort users to find the people who are actually invested, and crafting engaging and personalized opening messages for the people among them who you happen to find attractive. There's a big incentive to just spam everyone with "hey," but all that does is put more money in the company's pockets from months of no hits.
16 years man I barely even ever get bots liking my profile, going to make it 17 years though
