These dating apps. ARGH! Someone “likes” you (takes the time to do that) then never messages you back. I don’t understand.

There is a thing called mass swiping.

like

I think it’s mostly guys who mass swipe because it’s a lot more efficient that way. I did that when I was on tinder back in 2013-2016

I swipe on first pics and vibes alone, then look at the profile more when they message me & decide then

No I unmatch if I’m not interested

OP are you M or F?

F

I would ditch the dating apps and just go meet people in real life.

Lol well that’s great for you Strategy Director 1. However, I don’t want anyone to become single for me if the vibe is right. I don’t look at anyone if they are dating. And I feel like dating apps are good for average people. If your above average I think meeting people in the real world is a lot easier. As an average person I have only ever been approached once by someone and I make friends fairly quickly (I’m not talking about friend zoning dudes Im just talking about I can hold a conversation and make platonic relationships) and Im not hideous lol, I clean up nicely. That being said it’s not easy for everyone so apps shouldn’t be looked down upon. Unless of course someone wants a real relationship and is looking for it on Grindr 🤣

Dating apps are all about the numbers game. Aziz Ansari Co wrote a dating book where he talks about this. One guy he interviewed would match with a stupid number of women (something like 72 at a time) message them with the same message and wait to see who responded. If the handful he really liked messaged him back, he'd ignore the others.

I have 5 YOE in Analytics... always thought I wanted to be a DS, but every job (even the junior ones) required experience in ML development.

I know the thought process and stuff but 'I' wasn't the one who did that part in the project. How to convince them that I could do the job without taking credit of others.
