Do you feel that dating sites help cultivate a mindset in people that predisposes them to doing this? I do - I think many dating sites (OKCupid in particular) swamp you with irrelevant information. In my experience, it seems like people are perfectly willing to use superficial reasons to say "no" to potential partners. I'm not talking things like political views or religious beliefs; I'm talking about things like weightlifting or liking Taylor Swift. Is it the perception that these sorts of things go hand in hand with other behaviors, or fit into a preconceived notion of "what kind" of people like this sort of thing? I'm inclined to believe so.
Just a mild rant. I liked this article a lot when it first came out and I'm happy to see it pop up again.
