Dating apps are designed to keep you single forever.

I can't imagine ever using one.

New town, made more friends in person, and have gotten laid more times, with people I met out and about.

But I've also made a couple of friends and gotten laid a few times from apps. Worth the $x a month, it's less than one ticket to a good party or an evening's worth of drinks at karaoke, and pays off at a similar rate per dollar, just more slowly.

(Unless you're just looking for mediocre fumbling with someone who only cares about getting their dick off, then apps got ya)

You can still get lucky. I met my wife on Okcupid, but there was a ton of disappointment before then.

My cousin met his wife on tinder, he seems to regret that these days tho

It's designed to mismatch you, but does the right thing on accident.

But right now, I'd rather not. If someone were to say, assassinate Peter Thiel, then they can just put me on a leash and take me home, do whatever the fuck they want with me xD

Otherwise, I'd rather refrain both because of poor general health, and trust issues.

It is 100% meant to mismatch you to keep you on the app to make money. Start asking people who met people on apps and you quickly notice a pattern. The person they are with was not like any of the other people it matches you with. It's not that hard to match people. They are betting that two people won't compare their apps after they get together. I have watched three couples in the same room compare their apps with each other, with all three realizing it only works by mistake.

My wife and I actually matched on 3 different sites, but things have definitely enshitified since.

[–] SleeplessCityLights@programming.dev 2 points 37 minutes ago (1 children)

That is great! That is what they are supposed to do.

The best part is she wasn't even looking for a relationship, but we're basically the same person so things just clicked.
