Now, these things exist.

They're not called apps.

They're called like intramural sports leagues.

Exactly.

That doesn't sound terrible.

Now, we can't do that for everybody.

But there are other contexts out there.

I honestly think like improv classes are probably another one.

Yeah, that is outstanding advice.

Oh, gosh, it's sad.

Yeah.

Okay.

I love these ideas.

And I think another thing that's important to realize about like when we're using the apps and we're swiping and things is that even if we're not just filtering on the universally desirable stuff, if we're like, okay, like I really want to date people who are in, I don't know, certain industries or something like that.

Many times we are getting in our own heads there, too.

So we're needlessly filtering these things.

We end up meeting people who actually we don't have a particular preference for somebody who is an aerobics instructor or somebody who is not in finance because you think that absolutely turns you off.

But these sorts of filtration exercises, too, also tend not to do all that much.

So again, it's like to the extent that you're using the apps to artificially limit who you're meeting, I think they're not great in that sense, too.

I think this is a perfect description of what's happening.
