And that's one of the things I was trying to do when I'm talking to the press or anyone who any of these kind of community type things.

A good amount of people ended up marrying other people who lived in their building. And, yeah, the proximity thing and the fact that you don't have many choices other than people within your circle of family and friends, and oftentimes you're more alike with those people, and there's a high probability that you would end up being compatible with one of the people with mutual friends in the same social circle

That's fantastic because we do have a huge problem with Ghosting in the dating industry and a few companies like Coffee Makes Bagel and Bumble have put some time into really making their culture within the app such that people are less inclined to Ghost. They've put disincentives in place to say, basically, this is not the way we do things here. You sign up to not go and treat people nicely and then they keep people off the app if they don't

Hey Mark, thanks for starting an interesting discussion and sharing the article and your thoughts as well. I always find it interesting so I'll try to find my two cent or two points. The first point is around the way decisions are made or the rules of the game. Currently that rule is pretty much one dimensional, right? People see one or a few photos and make their decisions in few seconds and that leads to very unequal and unnatural distribution of attraction
