So, how should people find mates? Obviously these stupid apps don't work and the chance encounter system we use in western societies don't, and neither do the marriage-as-transaction systems societies used centuries ago, or the subjugation of any one gender. So how should we ensure most people who want a mate get one?
And dating people at work is practically forbidden now
I just can't fathom doing that even if it was perfectly acceptable. I hope these are jobs people don't give a shit about or they have opportunities for something better. I don't (currently), so if things went south, which for me they tend to, I would be sitting here in a very bad state.
Eh it depends on the workplace. My wife and I met at work through friends, we've been married 13 years, and I think we've only ever been in 2 or 3 meetings together (and those were unusual situations, not regular projects), and we practically never have contact "professionally". It's a large workplace, and there are quite a few couples floating around.
