Touch some grass dude, humans flirting with each other in public has been happening literally forever. “Oh let’s give control one of the most basic core human activities over entirely to a handful of dating app corporations” my man, go outside

    Nobody seems to have mentioned it here, but saying that the only places you're allowed to find dates are apps and bars seems ridiculously capitalist. Like, dating apps are designed to make you spend money if you want to be noticed (you'll be high priority on the algorithm early on to give you a taste of success, but afterwards, you're going to the rock bottom unless you're super attractive or you spend money). And bars, you're expected to spend a lot. So it sounds like it's saying "Don't wanna die alone? Well, you better drain that bank account".

    And if you're not good at the whole flirting and attraction thing, the only way to get better is by doing it. And if the only places you can do it are these... well, I hope you have a lot of savings and weren't planning on buying something nice.
