all dating apps do the same obvious thing completely wrong, which is that they try to act exclusively as a discovery or filtering mechanism and do next to nothing to actually *make people fall in love with each other*

swiping past pictures of 500 people and awkwardly flirting in dms is not the kind of interaction that sparks feelings. when u meet people irl at a bar or a party u have a chance to see the way they move and talk and behave and act, and those little moments can start seeding love

u need unstructured interactions and way more organic plausible deniability. u need a way for people to form crushes just based on seeing how someone talks to others. u need moderately sized social groupings and community, not exclusively 1:1

pure discoverability and liquid markets has not been part of human romance at any point in history. u don't want to filter the top 0.001% and then desperately try to fall in love with one. u want to be doing things that let love grow naturally.

basically i genuinely think something like twitter gcs are the optimal setup for dating apps and one day someone will figure this out
