Well, they aren't horrible for two groups.
1. Men in the top 5% who are seeking commitment-free sex.
2. Women in the top 50% who are seeking commitment-free sex.
If you happen to fall into one of those two groups, online dating is wonderful.
- wolco2 6y agoThe hookup problem has been solved. The find someone who would fit in socially with me issues hasn't even been addressed by anyone. The find a soulmate algo hasn't been written yet.
- leetcrew 6y agomaybe this is overly cynical, but I suspect there is a business reason for this. a successful "find my soulmate" app would be actively destroying its customer base. a "find a hookup" app can be very effective and still have lots of repeat customers.
- thekyle 6y agoThis is why I was excited for Facebook Dating. Although I don't really like Facebook as a company, they don't really have this problem. If two users meet on Facebook dating and form a LTR then it's unlikely to make them leave Facebook.
- the_only_law 6y ago> a successful "find my soulmate" app would be actively destroying its customer base. This is actually sort of how hinge advertises itself. I found the app however to be somewhat jarring when I downloaded it. In my area at least, it seemed to attract a very specific archetype which could be good if you fit into that, but it wasn’t for me.
