    Not to an incel, they base their entire life around it. Everyone else just gets on with their life until they randomly meet someone.

    Trying to force a relationship out of thin air never works, which is part of the reason why dating apps would never work even if they weren’t paid to win.

      Dating apps used to work very well before the shareholders got greedy.

      And even today they work somewhat well

      Dating apps do work enough that people use them. Heck I met my wife through a dating app. When I was single hearing that would just frustrate me because I couldn’t even get matches and at a certain point of that I had to take a break for a year+ just for my mental health. But it did eventually work out.

        How do you not panic and delete it every time you get a message that’s not immediately identifiable as a bot? Lost my nerve at the first human looking “Hey” and nuked my account.
