Dating? … this basically describes the entire internet at this point
We exited the information age about ten years ago and went straight into the instant monetization age, where nothing matters and all we’re trying to do with one another is make another dollar.
I made one spreadsheet for going through dating profiles in OKCupid.
I don't remember many details from it anymore - maybe my current girlfriend I've been with for more than a year now was the about 200-300th profile I crashed upon. And maybe there was a 15% chance that a profile I liked answered my message once and never again.
.
Finding a partner may also need persistence.
I was determined enough to find someone beside me. I worked with my goal and with that spreadsheet for months, having pauses here and there.
Why the spreadsheet? Cos (I like 'em plus) I wanted to know and MEASURE, how much work my goal needed to for it to be accomplished (in my case, under these stars and circumstances).
(I didn't pay for the service.)
I called it the statistical approach. I messaged any woman I found visually attractive or that seemed interesting and fun through their description. Didn’t limit myself to one app and in messages always made it clear I was looking for a relationship in real life and wasn’t looking to chat for long. I probably messaged around 20 to 40 people a day. Got a positive message back around every 2 days or so. So one in 2 days roughly. Sometimes less, sometimes more. I had a several dates during the course of half a year or so ranging from fun to boring to catastrophic. Some casual hookups happened but it was rare. Sometimes dating lasted for a few weeks but didn’t work out. Then eventually I met my now wife and mother of my kids.
Online dating is still bs but I found this approach to work for me.
I’m on android. I just confirmed you can’t do it with an album but instead with playlists. Add a song to a playlist, hit shuffle, then hit shuffle again and a little star should appear in the shuffle icon.
Only works on self created Playlists, not on playlists created from spotify like “Discover weekly”. The first time, you get a little popup which explains it.
I do this on purpose to prevent myself from buying to much. I KNOW I’ll get more than I came for, lack of basket or cart puts an upper limit on how much
I explained this to me children and how carts are for the weak. My then 8 year old announced loudly when she was shopping with mommy right by the carts “mommy don’t take a cart, those are for the weak”.
Wife wasn’t too thrilled about it and was even less thrilled when I laughed.
While not perfect, Grindr has way less issues. You can see who’s around and online, and you can text them directly. People are super upfront about what they are looking for (sex, relationship, or otherwise). Join us and find yourself a femboi for life or a sex toy for tonight.
