Yeah I lost about 20 million left to me by my grandfather when McIntosh bank went under. At the time I was young and my father sat me down and explained the situation. I didn’t earn it so strangely It didn’t bother me sure would be nice to have now though. I thought about it quite a bit when my own company was nearly bankrupted in 2018. Sometimes life’s funny

Nice. Next steps might be to try and account for inflation by converting to 2020 dollars. 70 years of inflation can make a difference in perception.

> you get so many matches that you start having to come up with crazy criteria to limit them

That's a completely self-imposed problem though, isn't it? Don't both people need to swipe right to match?

The boomers have timed it perfectly to coincide with their exit.

Sounds like me when I was depressed. Don't miss dating.

The dating apps are mostly owned by one company (the Match Group) and basically designed to not get people into a permanent relationship - the podcast Land of the Giants just did a series on dating apps and their issues that may very informative for anyone using them.

State Troopers. This is starting to become a political issue as some communities are now populated enough to become their own borough, but are choosing to stay unincorporated for tax reasons.

Maybe one day I'll see if I can export my chats to CSV and then make a whole battery of visualizations haha.

I recommend going on the hinge subreddit and getting their advice.

Yeah I'm quite extroverted but it's starting to be draining.

OP posted a comment shortly after the post. He sent out a total of 300 likes and got 40 responses.

Apparently this site only lets you send 8 likes per day.

The numbers game is when the guy puts out hundreds of low effort attempts per week. Limiting how many likes people can use is the opposite of that.

Ok yeah, 11 dates in a single month for a guy honestly feels like a lot.

That seems really promising, I'm gonna give it a try. Thanks.

Where does it say there was 40 out of 300?

well maybe she was the one that matched so could take the initiative no? Idk I unmatch an girl that matches but expects to not have to start the conversation. Whoever swipes and matches should start the conversation simple equality and mutual respect…

You must be an engineer, you are too logical for dating !!!

Why would she do that when she has 70 unread messages from men?

Jesus, that's strict !!!

Howyoudoin ?!?!? in a Joey Tribianni type way then ?

So how often do you send the first message?

Sure. But the income is generally keeping pace.

That cost curve looks exponential.

Yeah I figure I'd just like to get some ROI here before ending things, if you get my drift.
