Dating apps don't seem to be directly trying to help solve the problem as much as generate revenue. In fact, they are very directly motivated to not make great long term matches.

Some people seem think that just getting out there and hoping for the best is the answer. Maybe that's true, but it's still very random. I was wondering about a hypothetical alternative:

What if you could go to an agency of some kind get rated through a thorough evaluation process? Would that be helpful ? It's not perfect, and many things are hard to measure. But maybe it's a less random starting point and can escape the exclusively money driven approach of dating apps.

My current wife and I met in our local trap house.

We knew we lived close and had common interests and it’s been amazing!

Is that a house that just blasts trap music all day?

It usually means that it's the kind of house where you go shoot heroin and pass out on a dirty mattress next to a complete stranger.
