>Isn't that true in the real world as well? I suspect the folks complaining about "markets" in online dating are not the kind of people who can connect offline. To be fair, I think online dating has gotten worse -- sites like OkCupid used to match you based on shared affinity... the issue there is you could be a very high match on shared values but not someone's "type" visually -- imagine being shown the girl of your dreams only to find out the feeling is not mutual :-) Conversely, I feel like people sometimes forget that they opted into these interactions, it's not like someone strolled up in a bar and began talking at them. Anyways... if you're frustrated with apps, I'd suggest doing just that. Talk to people. I met my last girlfriend at a bus stop. Before that, on a porch -- I was walking by and struck up a convo. If you can't connect with people organically, no amount of tech can save you. | ||||||||||||||

anyone talking about "markets" in dating is a redpiller. That's redpill talk. They probably also "neg" women and talk about eugenics-adjacent stuff. | ||||||||||||||
