This is the consequence of having dating apps for any specific group of people. ChristianMingle, there's one (or was I think) for farmers, there are dating apps specifically for women, or for any race or sexual orientation. As much as Conservatives have exasperated me lately idk why anybody would be upset or angry about this. If they don't already exist I suspect (hey maybe show HN) we'll see dating apps for libertarians, communists, anarchists, skiers, mountain climbers, dog owners (ugh), #vanlife (Because it gets lonely on the road) and more. Hell maybe you can make a dating app for sports and then just have someone turn on/off the sport they want to date around (so you show idk, 100 sports and someone picks skiing as their sport and the app only matches them with other skiers).
All this noise around Peter Thiel is irritating too. But I guess it gets clicks for the conspiracy-minded who think he's Darth Sidious instead of just some smart rich guy who happens to like Trump. Maybe the Gawker saga will just cause him to be a person of interest for all time. Or maybe the stakes in our society are so low and we have so little to do that this is what we resort to.
- vernie 5y agoYea this only noteworthy because of how horny HN is for anything Thiel does. This will probably end up getting acquired by Match Group like every other dating app.
- weare138 5y agoOr just fail miserably like every other 'conservative' dating site.

- s1artibartfast 5y agoIt is essentially what it boils down to for everyone I have chatted with about it. Your mileage may vary.
