Over and over I got excited that I was going to meet a person who ostensibly had a lot in common with me, and it just never was the case. I also continually got the same search results all year.
- nradov 7y agoIt's hardly fair to blame the dating service for your unrealistic expectations. Having a lot in common isn't a sound basis for a relationship. Most first dates never turn into anything; that's always been the case and it's just how humans work. It's not surprising that you got the same results all year. The matching algorithms don't change very quickly.
- hombre_fatal 7y agoYeah, I know more about my compatibility with someone after talking with them for a few minutes that I do from reading a perfect list of their interests and opinions. It's why we date instead of picking our spouse from an Excel spreadsheet. Dating apps cannot fix this, but they can make it easier to meet more people. I thought a great take on this was the Black Mirror episode where your dating-app compatibility score with someone was the percentage of times your virtual clone escapes the simulation with them. How else can you predict chemistry?
