    Ironic and tragic then that more and more dating apps seem to be emulating the Tinder model. Bit tricky to convince a stranger you're an emotionally available good communicator that shares their values when they've got to swipe right on you before you can speak to them directly, and the swiping itself is still based on split second fuckability assessments. :clyde:

    I’ve yet to find a dating app that doesn’t suck. Bumble comes close to being decent.

    Years ago, when I tried dating sites, I received more texts that didn’t have caps or punctuation, than written communications in elementary school. And they were coming from men my age or older. I figured, if they’re too lazy to type up a decent post, they’re too lazy to put any effort into a relationship.

    Hey, if they didn’t want to be judged, they should have used caps and punctuation. They aren’t 20 years old.

    Hinge is alright, but I wish they'd let you apply more filters when you search.

    Pro-tip: If you sign up for Google survey rewards, you can get enough Play credits every few months to get a week or month of Bumble Premium for free. :async:
