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?

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

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

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."
