I’m super picky and not very good looking, so my “swipe right” rate is less than 1%.

I used OkCupid a while back. Found myself in a relationship for about six years. Eventually we decided to kinda’ go our separate ways.

Used it again. Got back into a relationship. It’s been ten years.

My one regret is that when I was first using the site about 15 years ago I sent them 5 bitcoin to turn off ads for six months.

I feel like they’re a boon to someone like me who doesn’t like to ask people out or even express interest in folks. “People should be able to go about their lives without someone like me hitting on them,” and that kind of thing. An app is a good way to opt-in to solicitation and has a low barrier to entry.

I might have felt sympathy, but I’m too busy caring for people that he himself hurt. They deserve my attention more.

You don’t run over a crowd of people, crash your car, and then get to lament that there are people in front of you at the emergency room.
