People like to complain that the dating process today is incredibly broken.
Everyone likes to go straight to blaming the apps, but that is just one part of the equation. This graph shows it is a major part of the equation.
So the question then becomes why do the apps dominate the dating process?
Simple leverage.
For those familiar with the pareto distribution I think this graph is a clear demonstration of the principle at work.
When it comes to finding the right partner the apps are the highest leverage opportunity.
Your friends probably don't have 1000s friends you could potentially date. Same goes for your work, neighbors, and all other forms of meeting people. The apps on the other hand do.
This leverage is great, but this leverage inherently creates the biggest problem with the apps.
The paradox of choice.
There are too many options so people keep swiping in hopes that they are going to find someone even better to date.
According to data recently released by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, private sector employment increased in twenty-seven states and fell in twenty-three states plus the District of Columbia during the twelve months ending 03/31/2026.

@Dylanszn01 Healthcare, childcare, and housing are all products and services that require someone else’s labor. Unless you are for slavery you do not have a right to anybody else’s labor.

If Weiser doesn’t sign Prop 134/35 into law after voters approved the measures, I will drum up enough support online here to sue him and his merry band of idiots.
Do the will of the people. That’s your job @pweiser.
If there were an amendment initiative in Colorado to make health care a right I almost guarantee it would have passed.
Yet at the same time a right to buy energy doesn’t.
It is baffling that the brain dead electorate doesn’t understand modern healthcare requires cheap energy.
