Isn't the entire point of the profile and matching system to filter incompatible people out? Why can I match with 50 people and not a single one wants to get a coffee or something after exchanging a few pleasantries? Everybody hates these things and yet they refuse to do anything IRL to get off them. Is there some Manchurian candidate activation codeword that I'm missing? I feel like everyone treats this shit solely as an ego booster and actually gets pissed off that anyone tries to interact with them. How do you meet people in hellworld if you don't drink?
Me after dozens of dead-end back-and-forths that lead to nowhere despite having shared interests and presumably being attracted to each other since we matched: 
Hmm, maybe it's the extreme commodification of relationships and atomization under capitalism that prevents you from getting anywhere with this garbage 
Nope, must be because @SuperZutsuki@hexbear.net didn't say my favorite "The Office" quote and send me a playlist with 50 of the greatest songs I've never heard that made me instantly fall in love with them. I have no idea what other people expect from these things but I'm not doing labor for someone that I don't even know is real. Thanks for reading my rant, any advice is appreciated.
I don’t know. People complained about dating in the ‘50s and in the ‘80s I don’t really see how now is special. I don’t date at all for cultural reasons but I know for a fact people talked about how it used to be better for at least 70 years
Yeah, but those are constant threats during war. Using an online service is optional and you don’t have to chose to use one to date
I’m saying there is reason to complain about it as those aren’t optional right now.
Because it’s hard for me to believe that this one thing is worse when nearly every single other thing in society has improved since then
