And I remain convinced that we’re all terrible at knowing what’s best for us. It’s only through exposure to ideas and people that we grow - and that’s a lot less likely to happen when you can press a button to filter out what you *think* you don’t want/need. &#xA;&#xA;In my mind, it goes against the very essence of nature’s general preference for sexual reproduction. &#xA;&#xA;I think, instead, online dating on a species-wide scale makes it easy to find someone you are immediately able to get along with, but with limited differences and potential for growth - which leads to a shallow relationship and ultimately dissatisfaction.  &#xA;&#xA;Yes, of course there exceptions. The dice are always being rolled. This is my hunch for the average human over time.</html></oembed>
