Le app di incontri ci chiedono di decidere in un secondo quello che l'evoluzione ha progettato per costruire in mesi. Uno psicologo della UC Davis ha studiato come funziona davvero l'attrazione: la compatibilità si costruisce, non si swipa. E quel "tipo" che credi di volere? I dati dicono che non c'entra niente con chi ti renderebbe felice.

People get offended when you compare dating to consumer goods, which is funny because the entire system is built like retail. Your first photo is the storefront. Your bio is a label. Your first message is a discount code. Your first date is unboxing. Your second date is the review, delivered with the warmth of a customer service survey.

@FourT4

Can't you get a friend to call you mid-evening and pretend that there's some emergency that you have to leave for?

miteinander.

Plötzlich- das traurige Finale:
Es bricht förmlich aus ihm heraus:
WIESO ich, VERFLIXT nochmal ihm nicht sagen würde, wo ich meinen Rehasport mache, da WÄRE DOCH NICHTS DABEI, WIESO SPERRST DU DICH SO, MÄDEL??? :blobowo:
Er wäre schließlich chronisch krank und brauche dann "so etwas ÄTZENDES" wie mich nicht. Das wäre SO SCHADE, dass er nun das Telefonat beenden müsse.

Ja. Ich mag es auch TOTAL, von random Dudes herab gewürdigt zu werden.😠

"definitely ruins my chance of online dating" -- "akin to being cancelled from all dating" -- "being banned has had an impact on her dating life" -- "I’ve Been Banned From Almost Every Dating App" -- "locked out of dating apps can be far more significant for young people looking for a lifelong partner" -- "People unable to get onto those apps are potentially losing out on finding their life partner" -- "owns five of the top eight dating apps" -- "two-thirds of the online dating market" -- "bans, when they’re handed out, are pretty absolute. The companies overseeing dating apps can not just ban usernames and email addresses, but also IP addresses (from where you log onto the internet) and device identifiers, meaning that individual devices can be barred from rejoining apps"

I feel

towards 2 or 3 major apps who groundlessly banned me despite me doing nothing impolite, nothing disrespectful, no violations of terms and conditions.

"We revisit a conversation with audio storyteller and host of the podcast, Our Ancestors Were Messy, Nichole Hill. She takes us back in time to 1937, using archival personal ads from the Washington Afro-American to show us what it was like for Black folks to date almost a century ago."

Good new article from @thenewoil about online dating:

I liked this useful tip for when you are reading through privacy policies: "Some euphemisms you may want to note are things like "trusted business partners," "affiliates," or "personalized experience." This means they share your data with advertisers."

Looking for love … in galleries, art studios and museums
Done with dating apps, Canadian singles want IRL romance. And as matchmaking events grow in popularity, some organizers are getting creative (in an artsy sort of way).

@Em0nM4stodon

It's easy: Never, ever use *any* #datingApp. I'm not aware of a good one.

Most are owned by the #MatchGroup. Run. Away. Fast.

No matter, if you are straight, queer, genderfluid, whatever.

Never, ever use *any* fucking #dating app!

Do you think there should be a dating app that is:

• Privacy-respectful 🔒
• Inclusive :rainbow_heart:
• Open-source :opensource:
• Using solid end-to-end encryption 🔑
• For people of the Fediverse :mastodon:
• To meet in a safe space away from modern commercial spying dating apps? :neocat_heart:
