RE: Terrible Tinder Tales part 2: The crazy controlling and possessive doctor
I'm very grateful to not be part of that circus anymore. From what I hear from friends, your experience is not that unusual.
It's ironic, in a sense, because I actually helped a friend (back when I was in IT) build the predecessor to match.com back in the early 1990s and the algorithmic focus then was far more on user success back then, than on milking people for as much money as possible. The idea was that people would find good matches, and tell their friends... and things would grow.
It is an absolutely terrible system that they have built. If you do match with someone I have found that it is imperitive that you make a choice to meet up with them right away. If you don't, they simply disappear into the background and end up being someone in your contact list that you don't even remember who they are.
people are so addicted to swiping on their phones that if they don't get immediate gratification, they just go back to swiping even though it hasn't resulted in success by using that method up to this point. It's crazy, isn't it?
