Surprising reactions can be observed on the internet that Tinder will leave Russia. Sighs of relief, teasing, spitting. Even McDonald’s was a little upset. According to IKEA, most people in general cried uncontrollably. And then suddenly there is unanimity. Inspire. In recent years, even those who own it have been ridiculed and cursed on Tinder – so useful, so progressive! – sang once. What happened?
They say Tinder is broken and no one has been able to find anyone for a long time. For no purpose. And for some it doesn’t! It’s understandable that some just need sex, while others need the big and shiny one. But the phenomenon of employee searching for a bike ride in a park near home in a company and company is truly baffling. Apparently, hiring services and home chats snapped even earlier. However, some sort of virus allegedly crashed the main dating app.
There were even conspiracy theories. They write that the wonderful and terrible algorithm works specifically in such a way that everyone has as few matches as possible. So everyone just sits on the site until they’re blue on their face, generates traffic, buys some kind of Gold, and generally doesn’t leave the matrix. True, this is how the failures on Tinder are mainly explained by men. Women do not believe in the conspiracy of artificial intelligence, they see the bug in people, not in programs. They don’t cry because there are no matches, they sigh bitterly that these “coincidences” are of no use. Everything falls into a black hole called “hello-how are you” – other people come out worse than machines.
And the saddest thing is that all these sorrows cannot be attributed to the subjective opinions of different injured individuals about their beauty (although whoever was not injured!). Unfortunately, the sad picture is confirmed by the results of sociological studies.
In 2019, sociologists analyzed user behavior on dating services and came to interesting conclusions. It turns out that women find only 20% of men attractive. And overall, men rate about 50% of women positively. And here’s the bad luck – 40% of women who like men don’t reciprocate – they swipe left, “damn princesses.” While women often complain that they’re stuck with boring correspondence, many men don’t even get a chance to write to anyone.
Additionally, dating sites brightly highlighted other gender disparities. What we knew before only from abstract statistical reports took truly convex, even artistic, forms. It’s one thing to know that 37% of women and only 29% of men have higher education, and it’s quite another to find yourself in a conversation with someone who doesn’t distinguish between Gogol and Hegel (what is Monet and Manet). !). It’s one thing, and another entirely, to read economic reports that women are developing the tourism industry much more actively and are not only spending more money on theaters, museums and exhibitions than traditionally, but are also starting to go to restaurants more often than men. something to leaf out from surveys with aggressive attacks on travelers and cafe lovers.
It’s one thing to remember that women live, on average, ten years longer than men, and another entirely to see why. Ah, the photos of drinking in kitchens with Soviet repairs! It’s one thing to read about the feminization of men and the masculinization of women in comic sci-fi, and it’s quite another to watch knights with enough mental organization to unbalance questions about their profession. Realizing that in no way do you tremble as young men with burning eyes, approach the search rationally, clearly, or even worse, technically, what can I say … like a man – very – very pleasure.
How not to be stuck here? It’s a sad, sad picture. And if we add that this sad tape was released with constant broadcast interference – it is, of course, purely melancholic. What kind of intervention? In essence, it is the same that transcends the entire Internet domain. Advertising and spam, increased activity of mentally ill comrades, various fraudulent crafts and just petty scams. Movies are already being made about Tinder scammers. It should be noted that between both sexes there are enough scammers and miserable rascals who always vtyuhivayut investment and other vegetation everywhere.
So people don’t regret about Tinder. How did no one regret the separation of Badoo and Bumble last year? Nobody remembers. At least in a kind word. And so it is clear that the holy place will not remain empty. There is also a Mamba. It is in vain that the current forty-year-olds do not remember him without shuddering. New Russian services appeared. Users joke that Gosuslugi will mess up dating soon. To create a truly serious relationship. Matches will only be possible with passport data. Information support will be provided by the Federal Tax Service – so everyone can immediately see who owes the state. A famous case is the one who robs the state, sticky and unfortunate, thirsty for love. He who does not betray his country will not betray his friend.
It’s a joke, but it’s unclear what will actually happen. Yet human technology has drastically changed. It may even be irreversible in some ways. Total online really creates the illusion of endless options. And the thinking of modern sapiens is really becoming more and more disjointed, the endless flickering of pictures distracting, distracting, dividing our reality.
Many people who are hungry for genuine attention, spiritual warmth, and a lively and sincere response may no longer be able to discern what they seek in the abyss of life, are not ready to truly face it, and cannot respond. Equally such happiness. To see – you need to peer, to keep – you need to invest. Not to invest, but to share your own spiritual resource. It is difficult. But just as debilitating for a man in his 30s or 50s today, under the weight of jobs, worries, mortgages, borders, trauma, a man seeks a one-night stand within a ten-mile radius of his home. So it turned out: no sex, no spiritual inclusion, God forgive me. Everything is in motion, everything is at the mercy of the algorithm. Swipe, swipe, swipe – photos of life that flies by.
