Amy Webb: How I hacked online dating
Summary
I was very surprised and shocked but I felt the generation gap. It's because my thought was the same as the speaker's grandmother thought. She said, "You can find true love when you least expect it." Of course, I thought that online data and an algorithm won't lead you to your Prince Charming.
Nowadays, online dating is a high chance way that people now meet each other more than usual, and there, an algorithm works. The speaker adds that you don't use just present online system but you should use something which you write yourself on dating website.
It does not need to show you'er beautifull. If you wrote something that you have careers or good things on it, there would be plenty of men for you to date though they would be awful people.
However, you wouldn't be able to put something untrue down. It's important for you to write very, very well, even though it may not seem like it all the time. You have to pay attention about some words, time, photos and whether approachable or not.
Those data should be seen by a man you love. It means that the data she used was the women who were going to be attracted to the type of man who she really, really wanted to marry. So keep using it more than waiting for an algorithm to set you up. You should have your own rules and framework of what you want to do. You don't need to listen to what other people say: "Don't be picky." Finally, She could meet her Prince Charming, in spite of having a high ideal. Next, it's your turn. No, it's my turn. :D
