Comment on Anon is worried about men

  I think so too. Online dating is just too convenient. It’s easier to arrange a date while playing video games than going into a club or other places you don’t like to begin with. I won’t lament those places dying out. Fuck them, never felt comfortable there.

  But online dating should have made things easier not worse. Then again those sites aren’t free of blame too.

    The problem with online dating sites is that they have the wrong incentive. They want to make money, not bring people together into lasting relationships.

      In stark contrast to pubs and nightclubs

        Pubs make just as much money if you’re in a relationship or not. The motivation is to sell you alcohol they don’t care about your relationship status.

        The difference is that pubs and nightclubs are not exclusively for people who are looking to meet other people. People go there with friends, to have a good time. Not so much with online dating sites.

        pubs and nightclubs have limited tools for deciding who can interact with who, in comparison. No idea if that makes them work any better for matchmaking though.

      I’m actually surprised no one has made an open source solution. Probably because of all of the complexity of moderating a system like that.
