CO Native. I talk about money, personal finance, wealth creation, and psychology. I paid off over 100K+ in debt in one year.

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.

@justalexoki Is a sex worker an employee? I’m so confused to kiss or not to kiss.

@thatjonesfan @averyeseverson Then again that’s an assumption since I established myself in corporate

[Seth @SettySLC]

@thatjonesfan @averyeseverson Congrats. I’m not saying working your way up like that isn’t possible but with how AI has eliminated entry level corporate roles it’s kind of hard.

[Seth @SettySLC]

@CowboyFan105d @averyeseverson I’d say that’s a fair point. What do you think makes people making that amount spend on Starbucks and DoorDash?

[Seth @SettySLC]

@averyeseverson The comment section is going to be comedic with people posting anecdotes invalidating nothing but their own understanding of data and statistics.

@MetamateDaz We don’t tolerate skill issues in our society. The poor people have skill issues as the wealthy don’t.
