The app didn't work for me. One that was shared right here on HN. I selected 25 miles radius, same ethnicity. Naturally I was matched with a person 700 miles away, of different ethnicity. So we got married... and deleted the app.

We were interviewed as a success story and our faces are plastered on the Internet now. My friends didn't find the same success, I concluded that they didn't know how to date. (wear the right clothes, etiquettes, conversation, navigate ghosting, etc.)

"What if the app could teach you how to do just that?" That's what I asked in our interview. That part was never published.

Your story helped them sell hope and thus more customers. Hope sells.

People want hope. They don’t want advice lol. If the latter was the case we wouldn’t live in a lopsided world.

Hope means you don’t need to try. Advice means it’s on you to try.
