To me these all feel like catalogues. Like I don't truly believe that anyone but a creep will be interested in me, the overlap in the Venn diagram between "monogamous people" and "people who share my politics" is two separate circles, and I can't tell if I like someone by a picture and a bunch of questions about the things they like. And I always felt whenever I was doing it that anyone else was just looking at me and comparing me to other profiles and thinking, "ohhh, maybe this one? but probably another one will be better."
That's slightly less nightmarish than the apps, though. I don't want to use my phone to date holy shit.
