> People are realizing that spending money on trying to find love is worth it in a world where many spend so much on Christmas presents, restaurants, bars, vacations, etc. It's like $15 a month depending on the tier. You're gonna spend that on any one date anyway. Might as well get to peruse your likes rather than swiping blindly. > Myself and my friends have noticed things like if we stopped swiping based on attractiveness and started only looking at job title and for a couple weeks swiped right on people with higher status jobs even if they weren't our type, we got shifted into what seemed like entirely different archetypes of people being sent to us. Which raises the question of - is it possible for the dating app ML and our swiping to put us into local maximums but global minimums? A lot of my experience is now making sense lol. Setting my song pick to SOPHIE'S "It's OK to Cry" really changed whom I was seeing.
