See, and by the time I got out of the online dating pool in 2003 EVERYONE had been doing it for a couple years. That shit really hit hard and fast about '99 or so and nobody looked back. The guy's argument wasn't exactly coherent or well-founded. It was sort of "online dating sucks, it's someone else's fault, so sign up for my website where the drudgery of dealing with the suck of online dating is offloaded onto your friends."
His solution is pretty shitty, but he does a really good job, imo, of at least picking up on all of the problems. Personally, I don't understand why users are allowed to carpet bomb the other gender with requests. I would at least either rate limit them or make it a offer/accept system, where they are given a suggested candidate and they can choice whether to message them or wait for the next suggestion.so sign up for my website where the drudgery of dealing with the suck of online dating is offloaded onto your friends."
