Finding someone to marry is harder than ever. We used to marry for practical reasons and grow into love. Now we hold out for a soulmate. That’s good! Marriages today are much happier. But soulmates are extraordinarily rare, and too many people are struggling to find theirs.

Women end up in situationships because we no longer have a social script for courtship. They think pushing for commitment too soon will scare men off, so they linger in relationships that are going nowhere.

It's really okay to marry someone, stick with them, and raise kids together. No journalist will write an edgy magazine piece about your lifestyle, but you'll have a great shot at a fulfilling and meaningful life.

Tweaks can’t fix this. To make a product that works, that helps people find lasting love, you have to start with a fundamentally different business model.

Whatever the intentions of founders and CEOs, corporations inevitably follow gradient ascent to maximum profits. The locally optimal solution for dating apps is to keep you lonely and miserable, to string you along with just enough false hope to keep you swiping and paying.
Caleb Hammer@sircalebhammer

Dating apps destroyed EVERYTHING. The analytics around Gen Z regarding dating, marriage, and having sex are dramatically alarming. We need to talk about that AND how they monetized loneliness. Check out today's mini-documentary: youtu.be/xDcKMjDOeuc

Most doomsday predictions fail not because the underlying problem was not real, but because people step up to solve it. Acid rain was real. Ozone depletion was real. And fertility decline is real. In the words of @DavidDeutschOxf “Problems are inevitable. Problems are soluble.”
Lyman Stone 石來民 🦬🦬🦬@lymanstoneky

Paul Ehrlich is dead. His legacy is misunderstood. He was, in fact, correct about a lot of things-- he was rendered wrong because innovative and industrious people chose to make him wrong. The lesson for today is simple: people have to choose to make low-fertility-fears wrong.

Most people with happy families don’t participate much in dating discourse. This is good for them individually. But culturally, it’s a disaster. We disproportionately hear from unhappy, unsuccessful people, and internalize this as the norm.

In the @KeeperAI photo rating tool, 36 people have done 5,000+ ratings each. That's 21.7% of all ratings. 282 people account for 63%. They're not bots and not rating randomly. We checked. They're real people who just genuinely love rating photos.

As a company that actually uses social science (rather than just talking about it), weeding out this sort of thing is essential. If an academic gets causality wrong, maybe they get criticized, and often not even that. If we get it wrong, our product doesn’t work.

Ignore anyone trying to promote bitterness towards the opposite sex. This doesn’t mean we can’t critique problems. But if the end goal is clearly to get you to hate and mistrust ~all men/women, this person is a parasite stealing from the cultural commons for a quick buck.

Paul Ehrlich, author of “The Population Bomb” and anti-natal advocate, was completely wrong about every major prediction he made, yet his debunked and misanthropic ideology is still promoted in schools.
More Births@MoreBirths

@mattyglesias The organization Paul Ehlich founded, Population Connection, is still active in schools nationwide, spreading Ehrlich's antinatal ideology and scaring children into not having kids of their own. This is an undiscussed scandal. x.com/i/status/17716…

People haven’t changed that much. They mostly want what their ancestors wanted. But the information environment has become incredibly hostile to these goals.

@KeeperAI I still think the vast majority of people genuinely desire commitment, marriage, faithfulness, and monogamy. A lot of people are just very confused and often deceived about how to pursue it. Young people have been getting a lot of destructive advice for a long time.

One of many benefits of finding people a good match at younger ages: they’ll have fewer bad experiences that leave them jaded and defensive in ways that might tank a relationship that otherwise would have worked.
Jack Peach | Dynastic Dating@ThinkInPeach

My wife's friend just found a great guy after two years of Hinge Hell. Asked her what the biggest issues were with the men she dated before him. She didn't hold back. Bear in mind, she's a catch. Pretty. Teacher. Christian who wants a family. In her late-20s. Not a woman with impossible standards, or one who's playing games. The way she puffed out her cheeks when I asked said a lot before she even started. The biggest issue? The combative nature of men. She said so many guys got defensive so early, it was like the environment had conditioned them to fight before anything had even happened. She told us a story of one date when a guy kept trying to "catch her out" and she had to prove she wasn't one of "those" women. She was polite to get to the end of the date. But she blocked his number after it. Being who I am, I get where those men were coming from. Because dating is harder than it's ever been. The apps are full of women who aren't serious. But she kept coming back to the guy she's with now. What separated him wasn't that he was naive about all of it. He just refused to let it walk into the date with him. "It felt like he actually wanted to be there, and get to know me." The men who couldn't connect with her were right about a lot. They just couldn't hide what it had done to them. And she felt it on every date.
