You know, some pieces of the puzzle of all this feedback that I'm hearing, not feedback, but I guess like, you know, your friend, your single friends are saying like, oh, dating so hard and online dating so hard.

And there are ways to like, with keeping privacy, you can still show different kind of proofs of,
