A though I've had. Dating apps are very popular and collect very (very) much information. Are there any European dating apps? I'm not very informed in the subject but a quick look told me most of them are owned by Match group; a USAian company from Texas.

2024 was a big year for dating apps like Match, Feeld, and Tinder, which means only one thing: Modern dating is broken. @WIRED dives into what several startups are doing to fix the dating landscape, and why dating’s future “promises to be chattier, and stranger, than ever.”

Dating: “his idea of ‘fun’ is doing taxes.”

Are we having fun yet?

When Beth joined a dating app to find love, she knew one thing for sure: she wants to have fun. Consequently, she listed “fun” as one of her desires in the list of desires that the app provides in users’ profiles. “Who wants drudgery? Am I right?”, she asks, laughing.

Beth saw a lot of profiles from folks who did not list fun in their desires. “It’s been a bit of a challenge to find someone who also wants fun,” Beth explains. “A lot of people want ‘friendship’ or ‘threesomes’ but when have these ever been fun? Friendship just sounds like hard work to me.”

Enter Jim. When Beth saw his profile, she knew she had found the man of her dreams. He also listed “fun” in his desires, in addition to “nice ass”. Thus began a whirlwind romance. “I agree with Beth,” Jim says, “I also don’t want drudgery in my life, and I adore her ass.”

However, the honeymoon phase ended quickly. “Beth wanted to go to concert after concert,” says Jim, “but I’m sensitive to loud noises, and couldn’t handle it. It was drudgery for me, despite Beth’s adorable ass.”

“Jim’s notion of ‘fun’ is to do taxes,” Beth countered. “I probably should have seen this coming, seeing as he has a serious case of accountant face. Not even my ass could save this relationship from his face.”

Has your experience on the dating apps been positive, or negative? What constitutes “fun” to you? Let us know!

#Bumble and #Hinge allowed stalkers to pinpoint users’ locations down to 2 meters, researchers say

Affected dating apps don’t explicitly share GPS location, but their filters could be abused to pinpoint a target’s location. Some apps in the study have claimed to rectify this, while others say it is a feature not a bug…

Watching ST: Prodigy and flicking forlornly through my dating apps...

... fucking hell, it's depressing!

I hate long walks in the country, I don't drink or drug, my profile pics aren't from the top of Everest or Machu Picchu and I am very, very VERY not 'apolitical.'

OKCupid used to be okay but now it's 95% bots. I like Feeld but no one on there likes me (literally not one like).

Anyone suggest any other apps??
