I hate dating. it's boring, a waste of time, no one cares... there's nothing to talk about. First dates are uncomfortable, and it's always the same old thing. Can I buy you a drink? What band do you like? Do watch breaking bad? Are you vegetarian? Are you half Asian?

I know. I just don't like this weird ass mating ritual we all follow.
Dating is stupid.

So I got Tinder on my phone and it's actually pretty cool.

It connects to your Facebook and uses your interests to match you. So like all these 19 year old woman who like The Cure and SP came up.

are they also interested in sex with someone who doesn't want to get emotionally involved?

skipping the thread because i'm going to arrogantly assume that nobody else had the Deep Insights only i could have about this. cough.

anyway i tried okcupid a few years back because it seemed to offer an obvious benefit: if it worked as advertised, it'd greatly improve the signal to noise ratio of 'dating', whatever that nebulously means.

in practise i found that it just traded implicit, obscured bullshit for explicit bullshit: okcupid users answered questions and filled out their profiles in such a way as to select for the people they wanted to meet, rather than to honestly portray themselves. the system could still be easily gamed and the true filter – meeting people and talking to them – remained necessary.

IN CONCLUSION humanity is screwed, technology is a post-paleolithic boondoggle and we're all doomed to dissatisfaction and chaos

With inane bullshit like that post coming out of your mouth, it's astonishing you'd be single.

and good on you for refusing to kowtow to the arbitrary expectation that you explain your point of view, no, you just get in there, take a shit like a dog in a park and leave it there without further ado. we should get your account renamed 'wittgenstein 2' or something
