A lot has changed in the online dating world. Hopefully they have a better argument than a 6 year old quote from one person, albeit being from PG.

- GGNH 15y agoWe've recognized some of the changes that have occurred, but think we can change it even more. Thanks for the feedback!
- steve-howard 15y agoI imagine that "dating sites suck" is a way of saying "it's really hard to make a dating site that works for people." Sure, lots has changed in the dating world, but I would not be surprised if there is substantial room for improvement for a long time to come.
- CJM13 15y agoThere is definitely room for a ton of innovation and improvement in the online dating industry. Online dating isn't going anywhere and will continue to grow. Social networks and dating sites can be a great way to meet new people. We want to limit the online interaction and have people share an offline experience together as soon as possible. The artificial contact that current online dating platforms provide cannot replace the interpersonal connection that happens in the real life.
- ashconnor 15y agoI think OKCupid pretty much nails online dating. I even mulled a dating project myself but they'd be hard to beat.
