Right, so I've lived my whole life constantly being told that I can't read social cues and that everyone else has this magical ability to understand subtext and all that. Which makes this article so confusing to me because it reads like the author is so oblivious to how people actually work.

The article can be summed up as basically:

  • Turns out, people can find love by talking to each other and don't need specially designed apps.
  • But it can't happen organically, you need to use some app to do so and look out specifically for love. Obviously.
  • Relationships are entirely transactional and are based on your partner's academic and business performance.

All with this creepy undertone that sexual harassment should be delegated to a footnote and subject to a cost-benefit analysis rather than, you know, avoided entirely.
