      Dating sites were actually pretty decent before tinder set ablaze to them all. I had a lot of success when i could just message anyone on the site and the second it became tinder it just stopped working.

          I imagine the scope of it makes things worse as well. Like when there are only a few compatible people in your area you’d just go fuck it and go on a few dates. When there are hundreds of dating “resumes” to sift through there’s probably all sorts of emergent behaviour that’s tough to account for. Hell, just the genetal idea of it gives me anxiety.

              The ones trying to do more traditional compatibility dating still have that aspect and it feels even more insane. There’s one that targets more careerist types and I have a feeling everyone on there is just Patrick Bateman.
