Dating sites. Complete useless trash.

I'd have to agree. I met my wife on OKCupid in 2016 and almost immediately after that it changed several key features and became complete garbage.

That's no way to talk about your wife.

Is there a Lemmy version of the ol reddit switcheroo?

[–] A_Very_Big_Fan@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago (1 children)

The next time you see a similar joke you could be the one to start it!

Thanks I hate it

[–] Rebels_Droppin@lemmy.world 9 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I've had some great experiences, but I'm sure everyone's mileage may vary

I think it got really bad the past few years. I think many people don't even know that, but tinder used to be free. You got 5 free super swipes or something, unlimited swiping and so on. Now you can swipe a few times for free, and it is never ever the people who already liked you. It has a feature where you can limit your range and disable people from around the world. But half the women i see are from china or thailand. Women get flooded with likes and matches while as (an average?) guy, it's like playing the lottery.

The problem that i see with that is that men generally don't pick their "dream girl" they jest pick what they can get. Which is a weird dynamic for any sort of relationship. "Of all the likes, i picked you, because of your smile and we both like cycling." "You were my only match in 3 month."

When everyone around you is an asshole, it’s time to reevaluate who the real asshole is.

Not sure how this is relavent here considering most of them are owned by the same holding and their goal is to ensure engagement with their shite platform.

But sure let's just start out by shitting on the user base

[–] HelloHotel@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I wonder if they share consumer info with themselves under the hood.

[–] sunzu@kbin.run 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

you would be lucky if they don't sell that shit to data brokers...

"simps for big titties asians" is valuable data point for data brokers selling to shiti ad companies

[–] HelloHotel@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

Tell me about it, speaking of big titty asians, Ive always wondered if the bra and hair spray commertials were actually for men (or to convince woman to buy because of male appeal). They literally walk right up to that line. Example

[–] sunzu@kbin.run 3 points 4 months ago

My understanding is using hot chicks to market to Becky's actually works

Unlike using "hot" men to market to men

Men don't judge each other on look per we but rather based on their "idea of musculanity"

[–] olutukko@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

I mean yeah but I also found my SO that way
