“When you stop expecting people to be perfect, you can like them for who they are.”

Meaning; If you want a real platform to love someone, let them be who they are! Understand the person you love you have to support and respect, you just didn't select them because they looked a special way! you selected them for a reason that matters to you. But you will find that person who can select you just for the moment because there past as dissolved there heart!

Apps are designed to streamline love, or s*x, into a small handful of questions, and to let you burn through as many potential partners as you can with the idea that the more darts you throw, the more chances you have to hit a bull’s-eye. But you end up with so many darts you wonder, Why bother aiming? All of my major relationships were with people I met in the real world. I can count on one hand the people I met on apps that I ever had the desire to see again. I have friends who have had great relationships spawned from online, but that’s not me and my breed is all but dead; not to mention that every year older you get where you’re still single as a guy is another year people seem to have doubts about your “commitment” or “stability.” So I’ve resigned myself to the idea that I may never be in another relationship, solely because the way that feels the most natural and helps me to assess real chemistry is the way that nobody wants to do anymore.

e, marriage, s*x, or romance as conceived in 2022?” Online dating loomed large in several responses. Let’s start there.

M. swipes left on one particular company:

One of the worst features of romance in 2022 is the outsize role played by the Match Group. In a time when online dating is taking over, this one company controls most major apps/websites, including Match, Tinder, OkCupid, Plenty of Fish, and Hinge. Over the last decade, we have essentially outsourced Americans’ dating lives to a single for-profit company. But bizarrely, it seems no one is talking about this as a cause for concern.

Sites like Facebook, Twitter, and TikTok frequently come under criticism for the potential to cause harm, but Match Group has been given a pass, even though potential for the profit-motive to create perverse incentives in the dating-app market is substantial.

M.A. frets that not enough people swipe right on people who are unlike them:

Dating apps try to “match” people based on what they have in common—likes, dislikes, food, movies, etc.—rather than what sets them apart. My fiancé and I are radically different, politically, temperamentally, and spiritually. He despises Trump and Republicans while I’m ambivalent toward the former president and vote only for Republicans. He’s clean and organized while I’m messy and scatterbrained. He’s a man of science and rationality while I’m more spiritual (although we both believe in God). Like complementary colors (or Jerry Maguire), we complete each other by balancing our natures.

Opposites don’t necessarily attract, but they do last. I’m a Millennial and, for better or worse, I’ve never had to deal with the kind of dating you see on TV shows and movies; I’m introverted so I don’t know that I could do that. From my experience with dating apps there is incredible leeway given to how you can exclude potential partners based on personal preferences. By excluding millions of options based on who they voted for or what kind of pizza topping they prefer, you may never find the yin to your yang. I’m glad I found mine.
