    I mean, its theoretically real, in so far as dating apps really are just a numbers game and engagement by volume is the only real winning strategy.

    But in practice, this just seems like a Revenge of the Nerds screenplay rip-off. "Oh no! I've accidentally geniused myself into dates with two different prom queens ON THE SAME NIGHT?! I hope we don't get into any sexy mix-ups as I try to date them at the same time."

    Either way, it just seems to illustrate how awful and alienating online dating is for everyone involved.
