Another big reason why dating apps suck, is that people don't go on dates. People meet their partners in groups of friends of friends, at parties. Before dating apps, nobody would ask a stranger out for a date, and nobody wants to do that now either, so the apps is enabling something that people don't actually want.

It should be focused on getting together groups of friends of friends for parties instead.

Same here, I can look at, meet, and chat with 5-10 girls in one evening in a bar, and get a pretty good impression of them. Takes months to do the same on a dating app, with heaps of added toxic behaviour/people that you don't get in a bar. Gave it up a long time ago..

It's dishonest though, it should be clear that you get downgraded over time as well, and not just marketed as a "boost".

Yeah, the biggest limiting factor by far is time, once you get over the issue of motivation/discipline. I bet the optimal thing to do for general health and longevity, is to do light/medium intensity, low impact/risk, exercise of varied sort, for most of your waking hours.

Yeah, it's not exactly uncharted territory, people spend way too much time on experimenting with fads. And regardless of diet, you still need cardio and strength, and also flexibility training, to keep your body in shape. Even if you find magic shortcut diet to be totally shredded while sitting on your ass, your body is still going to start malfunctioning because of atrophy and stiffness and cardiovascular issues. The best thing to do by far, is adding more varied forms of exercise, but it takes a lot of time, that's the problem..
