‘Date me’ Google Docs and the hyper-optimized quest for love
People like to rag on dating apps -- they're shallow, promote surface-level judgements / interactions. But I think this is simply mirroring how things works in the real world (in very early considerations of who to approach). Getting this person out of the app into an in-person conversation should be the goal.A 'date me' profile feels like the opposite -- trying to get a bunch of data on someone before actually interacting with them in person. I think this is completely backwards and we need to lean in far more into IRL experiences.
