My Failed Attempt at Engineering Love
Ehh... the issue is mostly that online dating doesn&#x27;t go very well for the vast, vast majority of people. On the other hand, I know plenty of not-particularly-attractive people who&#x27;ve met partners through all sorts of weird and whacky situations.<p>Fact of the matter is that finding potential partners, like finding anyone, is about constantly growing the network of people you interact with. I meet new people nearly every week through various communities I&#x27;m part of and organise. Many of them stay that way, just &quot;part of my community&quot;, some of them become great friends, and very few become partners. You&#x27;re unlikely to manage that while working 80 hours a week, going to the bar once or twice a week, and otherwise not being involved in much.<p>Also, speaking personally... the sort of person who thinks it&#x27;s fun to spend their time automating personal interaction is not the sort of person I want to date.
