I've not had a lot of success with the tools, if I'm being honest. The best success I've had with meeting people is the old-fashioned way, through other friends. Or just meeting someone in the real world. And that has still been, or having friends make introductions at dinner tables. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And you're not dating a checklist. You're dating a real person. And the real person makes you feel a certain way. And I think that was... I think it was a really, really important piece of advice.

And I think your type is your predisposition based on the limited people and experiences you've already had. So many people end up with people that aren't quote their type. And I think that we need to, and this is similar to social media. We probably need to live in a world of curiosity, not judgment. Instead of swiping, we need to discover and find what's really interesting to people.
