Yea I think it's the messed up incentives for the company running the platform. It's not profitable for them to actually help people find love. I also don't like how it incentivizes the swipe culture either as someone who appreciates genuine human connection and can't stand vapid and shallow mindsets that things like tinder incentivize people towards.

Honestly if I could choose this is one of my first ideas for what to design but the timing would also need to be right to find a market large enough to steal the network effects of those platforms.

Agree. Despite making the comment about the profile picture I would prefer meeting people in person. Dating apps seem to work for finding single people and filtering for certain preferences like religion, hobbies, etc. But the key is the human connection.

I agree but certain cognitive models seem to attract usually the opposite. For example the girls I usually attract are enfp or enfj. Not That I even filter for them but it's a subconscious thing. I can usually guess their Myers Briggs after talking to them a bit and a lot of times they are shocked that I'm right lol.

That said yea you gotta meet in person asap and see if there's sparks. I usually give it 2 to 3 dates.

Ooo can you guess our Myers Briggs?☺️

I'd prolly have to talk to you one on one for a while. But I'm mostly just good at it because I know which types of girls seen to be attracted to me most the time lol.

Haha that’s fair. Hmmm you’re an INTP aren’t you? 🧐🤗

Yea I'm intp lol. Sorry missed this. The threads on amythyst are unclear sometimes.
