Better tools to connect women and men could have a major impact and increase the chances that couples connect with each other. Tinder and other dating sites are absolute shit (plenty of literature on their problems for both men and women out there) and in person interactions are becoming more rare. Improving these tools might help some of the people who would otherwise not connect or find suitable mates to do so, though it can only address the problem partially.
- kawera 9y agoYou mean more tools in the same vein as meetup.com?
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 9y agoThe problem isn't the tools, the problem is human nature. The way we select mates just doesn't work the way we tell ourselves it does, and the reality is that vary many people will never be compatible with anyone. In the past, and in other cultures, this is solved by significant social pressure forcing people together.
- nradov 9y agoIt's not technically hard to build a dating site/app. If you have an idea for a better tool then go ahead and build it. Numerous entrepreneurs have already succeeded in this space. IAC is happy to buy up any dating site that establishes a large user base.
- tomp 9y agoWhy do you think "connecting" would help? It's possible, likely even, that it would further exacerbate the problem, allowing more choice for those who want it (men), and allowing all those who are choosy (women) to aim for the top. Similar to the media - we thought that making the world more connected would make it better, but so far all we've got is more sensationalism, fake news, and cat videos. Most people ignore the "leaks".
