Somehow I hadn't even considered fake profiles. I don't know if that makes me feel better or worse about the situation.

My coworker told me that even restaurants will post "profiles", get matches and set up first dates at their establishments. The person will obviously get stood up, but they are more likely to spend money in the establishment since they're already there. Like maybe a drink or 2.

As someone who has been stood up consecutively 16 times. What a monsterous way to acquire business

Better about your future potential dating pool but worse about the tech industry is where I went with it.

There's a cute little audiobook I listened to recently, called "The Verifiers" which was written by a person who worked professionally in the dating app industry and turned her experience into a thriller novel. Definitely made me feel better about getting the run around, since this is apparently the professional standard and not just me being uniquely stupid.
