Yes.

Met a partner of ~5 years ok okcupid some years ago.

Met a partner of ~8 years on ok cupid after that.

I get a fair amount of dates on Tinder now, even though I’m getting old and have at least one major deal breaker.

It turns out a lot of people are really bad at using the dating apps. People don’t write anything useful in their bio. They waste their first message with “hey”. When they get a question they dead end it. Like “hey your profile says you love NK jemisen. Have you read her new books?” -> “no”. And then they’re like "why isn’t this working?'. My friends please be better at this.

Tinder still sucks and you can see where they’re putting profit ahead of a good experience, but you have to go where the people are.
