My man, you're on tinder - show some understanding. She's multitasking talking with 132 other men at the same time, looking for the most immaculate guy there is. I'd be talking like a brick wall either if I was getting the level of attention she is!

Not sure if you're being entirely serious, but I do find it funny when people (often women in this context) self sabotage like this. By half assing 20 conversations, some number of good matches will bounce because you look like a boring person who can't converse. You're more likely to end up with someone who doesn't care about your words, and then will probably treat you badly.

I like to imagine a girl sitting on a bar stool in the middle of a bar full of men, slowly giving one word answers to the questions the men yell out like a press corps.

Now picture the bar on a cruise ship!

Which in a bar setting would make sense. Not everyone wants to be hit on just because they've gone out.

This person, is on tinder. They're literally in the place you go if you want to hit on people / get hit on.

"Why can't men just leave me alone" she ponders, on Tinder

Perhaps there is a reason these people are single.

In another thread somewhere, someone pointed out that over time dating apps tend to fill up with ... let's say people who perform poorly on dating. People who are good at conversing and picking good photos (which is distinct from being physically attractive) will enter the system, and then leave pretty quickly. People who are shit at talking, have poor photos, and date badly, will stay longer.

That may be true, but the platform also has an incentive to only give you bad matches. If you match with someone you are actually a good match for, you will probably leave the platform and therefore stop paying them money.

This is also true. I think the app owners want you to get a steady trickle of so-so but imperfect matches. If you get nothing, you'll leave. But if you keep almost getting it, you'll come back. And maybe pay for that "premium" service. It's a trash business model.

Match-makers where you pay once has a better incentive, since the longer you're in the system the more labor they have to do, but those tend to be expensive.

OKCupid had a blog post about why you should never pay for dating services, but after they got bought by Match Group that vanished.

More likely a bot. There are a lot of those on Tinder.

[–] MeThisGuy@feddit.nl 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

why go through bot trouble on tinde when I can. have myself a beautiful LLM gf that tells me everything I want to hear

[–] anzo@programming.dev 2 points 1 month ago

because of the investment opportunities. the waifu LLM is not (yet) a gateway into crypto ;D

[–] jjjalljs@ttrpg.network 1 points 1 month ago

I think modern bots are better at chatting than this
