Only five slots. But maybe I should’ve added Mastodon and compatibles.

I’m British and I don’t even get it. I do know that a few years back, a bunch of supermarkets were trying to sue each other over caterpillar cakes.

If you want to rip the video and host it on your personal server, I’ll happily edit the link.

But that’s the thing and of course, it’s all down to personal preference. But if your chemistry and interest can’t survive two weeks, it’s not going to survive two years or two decades. We live in a society where it’s now, now, now and part of our due diligence is patience. Anyone can feign interest over two or three messages, but how desperate are you (not you personally, you get what I mean)? So you take them out, you buy them a few drinks and then what? A couple dinners before you find out they’re not what you thought? The same is achieved with just talking for a couple weeks. But each to their own. If it was one size fits all, the Match Group wouldn’t be able to keep buying apps for millions of pounds. Dating is a means to an end to me, I get that for some it’s a hobby or form of entertainment, but I have better things to do with my time than use it to test if I like someone. I could use that time to spend with someone I’ve already confirmed I like.

Yep

Don’t get me started on men on dating apps. Obviously my experience is second hand, but from what I can gather, it’s generally a race to send a dick pic, them thinking money can buy everything, them having as you said no idea how to have a conversation and then there’s the ones that get no response and so start with the harassment.

One thing that I find really perplexing is all the profiles that state, “no pen pals”, what’s the point of being on a dating app if you’re not going to vet people. It’s like letting someone do surgery because they look like a doctor and then wondering why they’re on trial for murdering the village. I just wanna figure out if we have sustained chemistry. If you can’t be arsed to message me for a week or two, you’re not gonna wanna date me are you?!

Hey, I didn’t say the crop was great.

Since that research went public, they had a redesign of the app, I dunno if that fixed the security issues, so don’t quote me on that. I do know that their socials are decent.

In general though, dating apps are a female lead experience. Misogyny means that a lot, (most in my personal experience), reject that experience. So where women being the commodity should be finding the men and initiating contact. Instead they believe it’s more romantic if a guy finds them and messages first. I’ve got friends that don’t open the apps except to check likes and respond to messages, not being proactive in the least. There’s a bunch of profiles without faces citing work reasons. Women will demand creative opening messages and then respond with the lamest, low effort response ever. Women on dating apps need to realise they rule the world and lead by example.

I think Bumble has the closest thing to the perfect model, but holy fuck the Match group decided to turn it into a piece of shit. The Match group should be broken up, it’s a monopoly and it’s a hindrance to happy healthy relationships.

There’s no federated dating apps, but the cream of the crop are currently Hinge and Feeld. That changes every few months.

Let diesel die.

If there’s more than one person, there’s drama brewing. I never check the All feed and yet can always find something. On this occasion I did a meme, but normally, I dodge that shit like Neo.

I can confirm that I’m an autonomous Blaze alt, running a beta version of ChatGPT 5o-Blaze Beta.
