This was ten years ago, but I had a co-worker who knew a woman who'd met someone using a dating site. Since they'd found each other, they wanted to quit their membership. They'd gotten what they'd signed up for. While I don't know about him, at least *she* was pestered by the site to stay on and extend her membership.

I figure most guys lie on that. Sometimes I think I'm the only one who's truthful on those dating profiles. So when I put my actual height, they probably think I'm much shorter. I just figure it's pointless to lie on those, so I always tell the truth on them. And yeah, I'm under 6 foot unfortunately.
@@jimmym3352 That's not unfortunate. It's expected. Most men aren't 6 feet or more, and most women don't care. In general, we all make too much of a fuss about men's heights.

Roger: Because when it comes to selecting a mate, your dumbmeat computer really only consider 2 factors Trevor: Personality & Sense Of Humor? Roger: lol Attractiveness & Race Trevor: Oh...Sh*t
Not race, there aren't any races in the homo sapiens sapiens. He meant visual attributes that indicate ethnicity/nationality/origin of ancestors, like skin colour.
My experience with online dating was no one can get anyone’s full attention. Especially in bigger metro areas. Everyone is getting messages from so many people and it’s hard for anyone to decide on who to focus on. Each time you login, there is more new people messaging you or responding to you. But all those people are experiencing that exact same thing, it’s like everyone is constantly distracted by someone new.
I've been waiting for this! I've tried three different dating apps and had the same terrible experience. Eventually, I decided it was a waste of time and decided to focus on my hobbies instead. That turned out to be the better idea. I learned how to make various content for a train simulator, including trains, tracks, buildings, lighthouses, road vehicles, and roads.
@@Nothinglikeagoodnut Speaking of which, one woman stopped talking to me as soon as I said I like travelling by train. (We were talking about favorite ways to travel)
I'm surprised they didn't bring up the fact that there are about 8:1 men vs women ratio on most dating apps and even after women leave they keep their accounts around to make men think there is more selection. Even worse some apps have their employees (mostly men) respond from those closed accounts to keep the men playing. How messed up is that? You're basically playing a dating sim where the computer is replaced by an art history graduate named chad.
I had a student who admitted during "the situation of 2021" he actually went on these sites pretending to be a woman and fleeced people. I can't confirm that it's true, but they are not necessarily foreigners
You forgot “Also a lot of profiles that are interested in you? Yeah we paid some staff members/ got paid by another company to create fake profiles that send you risky links that are there to directly take money out of your wallet or even threaten you with blackmail”
I forgot about that too. The apps purposely generate tons of interest in your profile AS YOU’RE MAKING ONE & right after you buy the paid features, all that attention suddenly disappears. Funny how that works..
@@calico9046 Funny, but that's probably not the way it works. The reason is much simpler: once you have created a profile - you are a new user and thus are shown simultaneously to all the people whose filter conditions (gender, age, distance, etc) you satisfy (and who already exhausted all the previously registered users). This (by the law of large numbers) creates an initial uptick in that "interest in your profile".
@@stretopovermind9680 I never thought about it like that. Fair point. Ironically, I made a new account not even a day later. Tinder might have shitty paywalls & be able to permenantly ban you but it does have a lot of users & the majority are legit. I think the trick to it is to use it casually. Don’t check every five minutes or exhaust all your potential matches at once. Moderation is key although I still struggle w/ that
I'll make it easy... dating apps work same way as real life, which means if a female wants 100 men, she will get at least 90 by just asking. If a man wants 100 woman, he needs to have a good look, good income etc and even then will land maybe 25/100.
“What if I’m into…” “You can’t have it” 😂😂😂 It really does break down into a binary code where dating apps just end up being “choose your own adventure”
Best one yet! God I missed Roger. But seriously, is he a vampire? How the hell has he not aged in the last three years? I mean we all know he’s old, but he kind of hit that part of old where it just stopped? Good for you Roger, glad you’re back
Yeah, don't do that. Watch his episode about weddings and divorces. Do not marry someone for some reason (well because your parents want to have grandchildren already). If you do, don't get suprised that it'll probaly end in divorce.
There are also just some unpredictable biases that algorithms can develop, depending on how it's made it could be a reflection of the biases of the user base, or just something that isn't obvious until hundreds of people were using it.
Yes, this is my one gripe with this video. Most algorithms like dating algorithms are trained on a dataset, and are constantly learning and updating. Most of the time if an algorithm displays a bias, it’s actually due to the training data, not some evil agenda the creators had. Although that being said, it is the responsibility of the creators to observe the training of their algorithm and intervene if it starts displaying discriminatory behavior
I remember a story, where they were creating an algorithm to count a species of fish in the ocean. When the programmers started looking into the code to see how the algorithm was identifying fish (it was using pictures and matching the fish visually to them), they found that the algorithm was looking for fingers. So why was the algorithm looking for fingers on fish? As it turnes out, the images it was using as its references, were all pictures of this species of fish, being held up by fishermen to show them off, and the fingers were visible on the body of the fish, thus the program was looking for fingers on the fish. This is an example of how an algorithm can give itself a bias. (I should add, this algorithm wasn't being fed pictures from the programmers, I believe it was set up to actively source them online also.)
Also algorithms by definition are going to look for the target with the most possible matches, the "sure thing". But in terms of dating, that'll likely be very bland - 84% of people of your TYPE report liking 78% of people of this TYPE. An app never would've matched me with either my late husband or college b/f (all diff ethnicities, vastly different family/upbringing, diff politics even in case of college guy, height way out of bounds LOL) Until they design an app that can assess people by the books you enjoyed, what you see when you look at the sky, hopes for tomorrow, etc, I think it's probably just a crapshoot.
@@mandisaw These apps are subscription based. It's not even in their business model to see families form. People need to swear by and die single, and be discovered months later putrefied for it to work. Loneliness IS their business model.
"i aint no farmer but id plow rogers back field till sundown." is an example of possible harassment and something no one should ever say out loud. even though they may be thinking it because hes hot af.
Thank you for confirming my bias about online dating. Growing up I thought it was a bad idea then I got into my twenties and tried it. Now I'm in my late twenties and if I ever download another dating app in my life I'll know I hit rock bottom.
Even before apps, the dating sites were the same, they just were not as portable. Lots of catfishing, fake accounts, and people just looking at your picture. They couldn't usually care less about what you put in your profile unless you lie to make yourself sound richer.
I was hoping he'd touch on the fact that statistically, most men won't get many matches on the apps while most women (and a few men) will get hundreds causing the paradox of choice to kick in, causing less fulfilling relationships... and how these companies want your relationships to fail so you keep using the app.
Thats not exacly true. Dating sites and apps WANT you to get into relationships and to hook up. Coz that way you will use it again when your relationship is over, or when you want to hook up again. Plus - if you get results - you will promote that site/app to your freinds for free. But apps are not magic. People are usualy single for a reason. To be into a healthy relationship - you must be a healthy yourself, and to know how to pick a parther. VAST majority of people suck at this, apps or no apps.
@@neko7606 You can choose your sexuality on Tinder. And also - to choose what type of profels you get to see - male of female. And "male lesbians" - its so funny and terrible that we get use that word in a non joke manner.
@@alexforce9 No. Dating Apps don't want you to get into any monogamous relationships. Time someone is in such a relationship is time they aren't paying money (men) or aren't getting men to pay (women). People only using the apps for a short while every couple years would not be very profitable at all. What apps want is that you engage in hook-ups only, or relationships were you stay on the apps. Customers advertising to other people works just as well when their "success" is hook-ups. Most people who are single aren't single because there is something wrong with them. Especially for men it's getting increasingly difficult to find partners, because people more and more only date on apps, where looks are everything and you're fcked if you are a below average looking guy.
@@JohnDoe-jp4em You forget that men will pay only if there is some sort of incentive. If you have zero results, you will just delete the app and say to all your male friends that the app is trash. Hook ups and relationships are not so different. A woman will not sleep with guy she is not finding attractive. And if she is finding you attractive, she will want a relationship with you. So the apps WANT you to be popular with women. Coz then you are more likely to pay. And thats why at first few days - tinder show your profile to A LOT of women, so you can get matches so you can taste a bit of that dopamine.

Alternate perspective here: met my fiance on a dating app. If it weren't for the internet I would never have had a single friend or date in my life. I was homeschooled, work from home, cannot drive, have chronic health issues that make travel hard and social anxiety. Was it always a nice experiance? HELL no. But most of my problems stemmed from meeting people AFTER the app and not the app itself. Because people are just generally horrible no matter where you meet them. I honestly have never met another person who had positive dating experiences whether in person, online, arranged marriage etc. Dating is just generally a horrific cesspool for everyone, until you meet someone who makes life worth living.
@@7th808s Well, they are not a charity after all. Butits not so much the site and apps, but the users. Women have too much choice, majority of men not enough, and some are willing to pay so they could even up their chances with the more attractive guys a little. But in short - if you know how to play the game - is not that bad. Good pics, good bio, not talking about sex right away, being somehow inetresting person, and not clicking/swiping right to obs attention seeking whores.
Your lucky, I've been on those apps for 5 years or so now and have never even been on an actual date, most people don't give me the chance. I've been off them for 6 months or so and on ever single one of them I've had no likes or messages; it's no different if I were on them every single day.
I requested this! Thank you Roger. Suggestion: The truth about the being a teacher: lots of student debt, low salaries, having to go into your own pocket to purchase school supplies, having to re-apply for your position every year, little administration support, having to deal with angry and entitled parents.
Also babysitting students like it's daycare because their parents don't know how to handle their child and just figure the teacher will straighten them out 🙄. My heart goes out to teachers which was why I tried to be a teacher's pet, lol. Well, I tried to just not make their job more difficult. Even if I was struggling in a subject, I didn't need to be a jerk that disrupted class. I'd just doodle in my notebook and take my F with grace (only in math classes though nearly in Physics as well as it's very math-heavy. Most other subjects I was either a B or C student in, with English and Language Arts being where I excelled). Also, I call very unjust bull on teachers having to spend out of pocket on supplies. Do police officers have to come out of pocket for more bullets? Do fire fighters have to pay out of pockets for new hoses? Hell, gas for the truck or police cruiser is probably even covered by taxes AND they get free shit or discounts from stores and fast food places. But it's rare I see discounts for teachers. So they're underpaid and then have to use that minimal money to still buy supplies...brilliant. Just brilliant 😓

Same. Every girl I’ve ever met from tinder/bumble or OkCupid was always talking to numerous guys at the same time. It felt like some ridiculous competition to prove my worth as quickly as possible. A few even had the audacity to complain about how difficult it was for them, then decided to go with one of the other guys she was seeing.

@@tylerk.7947 it's weird how you peg yourself to a dating app designed by people you've never met which gives a female stranger almost complete control over your happiness. Have you tried picking swimming, or mountain biking, or hiking?

@@madewithrealdiamonds this comment seems a wee bit unnesscesarily confrontational. Guy just said he's had negative experiences on a dating app, why are you acting like he's some basement dwelling mole man who's never talked to anyone outside of his immediate family?
@@timjones5953 nothing was mentioned about living in a basement. I mentioned seeking activities which will allow him to converse with strangers, including the attractive young women we all know that he's looking for. He's not looking for just young women, as anybody with any kind of social circle can meet a "normal" girl on US media's attractive scale. 50% of our population is female, so he's definitely not having problems meeting young women. That's where my comment was directed, and I'm quite sure that you knew that. It's still ridiculous to be "torn" because of "comptetition" with other guys through the girls you meet on a Tinder dating app (which is almost exclusively based on race and perceived attractiveness). Everything is a competition, and everyone is vying for the attention of another, unless people aren't. Which bring me to the conclusion that he's not going where there isn't much competition. Thus why I believe that he's not seeking "normal" looking young women outside of online dating. He sounds like he believes that he is entitled to attention from attractive young women, once he arrives on the scene and "meets" or "traps" them. There should be no competition.
@@madewithrealdiamonds God damn, son. That's a whole hell of a lot of extrapolation for someone mostly just agreeing with what the video is saying.

Dating apps are a great idea in theory. But in practice they company only uses their members for money at every possible turn. If they can withhold a feature and charge you for it, they will.
Dating apps have been one of the key factors to the de-humanization of real romance-seeking and socializing. Everything to do with dating is hidden behind a phone screen
Honestly at this point I am so sick of tinder dates, that I just don't even bother. It's 9/10 times same generic bs and feel like a job interview at this point.
@@cracked Well, probably the oh-so-wonderful youtube algorithm wasn't doing it's job for the poor guy. Honestly, if I worked at google I'd be ashamed of this algorithm.
I work in computer science, n the mid 90s, a guy from management once told me: "if you are getting something for free, then you are not the customer, you're the product". These days this applies to consumer of every field, whether free or paid.
Honestly, the big problem with dating apps is that they mix people who are looking for very different relationships. One nighters, friends with benefits, and those looking for their soulmate were all thrown into the same pot.
Actually, the bias in most modern algorithms stems more from bias in the data used to train the AI model than from the developers. If the data indicates biased preferences among the sample population, the algorithm is inherently going to reflect that bias unless manual steps are taken to compensate for it. As usual, this is funny AF. I'm so glad Roger is back!
Aha! But what if I said that this data being input by biased programmers?

@@mandisaw that's exactly what they do. It just so happens that all those things align with race in many cases. Tinder doesn't have a line of code saying "black=bad", Tinder doesn't even know if someone is black.

@@dieptrieu6564 Creep mode? Yeah, I can see that. It is similar to how clubs and bars are free for women to attract men. That seems to work because a guy can be visual spoken for. In the apps, the same top 6 to 10% of men get 80 to 90% of attention. That is why girl friends groups often find that all of them have been with the same one or two guys.
"Apparently, hours of rating whether women are attractive enough to bother talking to doesn't make you a very nice person." Sadly, however, it CAN make you a billionaire with a social media company.
I was a Okcupid moderator, there is zero training. We were just chosen because no one ever filled a complaint about our accounts and we were “outstanding members of the community.” Most of the things we reviewed were people making either phishing account with a pornstar pics or someone posting a dick pics. Occasionally it was someone posting a profile pic of them with a bunch of other people making it hard to tell which person it was or someone making their profile pic an animal.
75% of tinder is men as well. Couple that with the fact that men swipe almost 50% of the time whereas women swipe a little less than 25%, and many men will get very few matches leading to depression and self-esteem issues.

My experience with online dating was no one can get anyone’s full attention. Especially in bigger metro areas. Everyone is getting messages from so many people and it’s hard for anyone to decide on who to focus on. Each time you login, there is more new people messaging you or responding to you. But all those people are experiencing that exact same thing, it’s like everyone is constantly distracted by someone new.
You must be a woman lol

I'm surprised they didn't bring up the fact that there are about 8:1 men vs women ratio on most dating apps and even after women leave they keep their accounts around to make men think there is more selection. Even worse some apps have their employees (mostly men) respond from those closed accounts to keep the men playing. How messed up is that?

I forgot about that too. The apps purposely generate tons of interest in your profile AS YOU’RE MAKING ONE & right after you buy the paid features, all that attention suddenly disappears. Funny how that works..
@@calico9046 Funny, but that's probably not the way it works. The reason is much simpler: once you have created a profile - you are a new user and thus are shown simultaneously to all the people whose filter conditions (gender, age, distance, etc) you satisfy (and who already exhausted all the previously registered users). This (by the law of large numbers) creates an initial uptick in that "interest in your profile".
@@stretopovermind9680 I never thought about it like that. Fair point. Ironically, I made a new account not even a day later. Tinder might have shitty paywalls & be able to permenantly ban you but it does have a lot of users & the majority are legit. I think the trick to it is to use it casually. Don’t check every five minutes or exhaust all your potential matches at once. Moderation is key although I still struggle w/ that
As always, check the sources in the description and also... I mean we got shirts now...
I'll make it easy... dating apps work same way as real life, which means if a female wants 100 men, she will get at least 90 by just asking. If a man wants 100 woman, he needs to have a good look, good income etc and even then will land maybe 25/100.

There are also just some unpredictable biases that algorithms can develop, depending on how it's made it could be a reflection of the biases of the user base, or just something that isn't obvious until hundreds of people were using it.
Yes, this is my one gripe with this video. Most algorithms like dating algorithms are trained on a dataset, and are constantly learning and updating. Most of the time if an algorithm displays a bias, it’s actually due to the training data, not some evil agenda the creators had. Although that being said, it is the responsibility of the creators to observe the training of their algorithm and intervene if it starts displaying discriminatory behavior
I remember a story, where they were creating an algorithm to count a species of fish in the ocean.
When the programmers started looking into the code to see how the algorithm was identifying fish (it was using pictures and matching the fish visually to them), they found that the algorithm was looking for fingers.
So why was the algorithm looking for fingers on fish? As it turnes out, the images it was using as its references, were all pictures of this species of fish, being held up by fishermen to show them off, and the fingers were visible on the body of the fish, thus the program was looking for fingers on the fish.
This is an example of how an algorithm can give itself a bias.
(I should add, this algorithm wasn't being fed pictures from the programmers, I believe it was set up to actively source them online also.)
That's why (as a developer) you are supposed to do EDA first -_-
Also algorithms by definition are going to look for the target with the most possible matches, the "sure thing". But in terms of dating, that'll likely be very bland - 84% of people of your TYPE report liking 78% of people of this TYPE. An app never would've matched me with either my late husband or college b/f (all diff ethnicities, vastly different family/upbringing, diff politics even in case of college guy, height way out of bounds LOL)
Until they design an app that can assess people by the books you enjoyed, what you see when you look at the sky, hopes for tomorrow, etc, I think it's probably just a crapshoot.
@@mandisaw These apps are subscription based. It's not even in their business model to see families form. People need to swear by and die single, and be discovered months later putrefied for it to work. Loneliness IS their business model.

Even before apps, the dating sites were the same, they just were not as portable. Lots of catfishing, fake accounts, and people just looking at your picture. They couldn't usually care less about what you put in your profile unless you lie to make yourself sound richer.
I was hoping he'd touch on the fact that statistically, most men won't get many matches on the apps while most women (and a few men) will get hundreds causing the paradox of choice to kick in, causing less fulfilling relationships... and how these companies want your relationships to fail so you keep using the app.
Placing faith in a business that has no incentive to let you found a good relationship, thus a family, until your last breath to begin with, be like.
Thats not exacly true. Dating sites and apps WANT you to get into relationships and to hook up. Coz that way you will use it again when your relationship is over, or when you want to hook up again. Plus - if you get results - you will promote that site/app to your freinds for free. But apps are not magic. People are usualy single for a reason. To be into a healthy relationship - you must be a healthy yourself, and to know how to pick a parther. VAST majority of people suck at this, apps or no apps.
@@neko7606 You can choose your sexuality on Tinder. And also - to choose what type of profels you get to see - male of female. And "male lesbians" - its so funny and terrible that we get use that word in a non joke manner.
@@alexforce9 No. Dating Apps don't want you to get into any monogamous relationships. Time someone is in such a relationship is time they aren't paying money (men) or aren't getting men to pay (women). People only using the apps for a short while every couple years would not be very profitable at all. What apps want is that you engage in hook-ups only, or relationships were you stay on the apps. Customers advertising to other people works just as well when their "success" is hook-ups.
Most people who are single aren't single because there is something wrong with them. Especially for men it's getting increasingly difficult to find partners, because people more and more only date on apps, where looks are everything and you're fcked if you are a below average looking guy.
@@JohnDoe-jp4em You forget that men will pay only if there is some sort of incentive. If you have zero results, you will just delete the app and say to all your male friends that the app is trash. Hook ups and relationships are not so different. A woman will not sleep with guy she is not finding attractive. And if she is finding you attractive, she will want a relationship with you. So the apps WANT you to be popular with women. Coz then you are more likely to pay. And thats why at first few days - tinder show your profile to A LOT of women, so you can get matches so you can taste a bit of that dopamine.

Alternate perspective here: met my fiance on a dating app. If it weren't for the internet I would never have had a single friend or date in my life. I was homeschooled, work from home, cannot drive, have chronic health issues that make travel hard and social anxiety. Was it always a nice experiance? HELL no.

I honestly have never met another person who had positive dating experiences whether in person, online, arranged marriage etc. Dating is just generally a horrific cesspool for everyone, until you meet someone who makes life worth living.

Suggestion: The truth about the being a teacher: lots of student debt, low salaries, having to go into your own pocket to purchase school supplies, having to re-apply for your position every year, little administration support, having to deal with angry and entitled parents.
Also babysitting students like it's daycare because their parents don't know how to handle their child and just figure the teacher will straighten them out 🙄. My heart goes out to teachers which was why I tried to be a teacher's pet, lol. Well, I tried to just not make their job more difficult. Even if I was struggling in a subject, I didn't need to be a jerk that disrupted class. I'd just doodle in my notebook and take my F with grace (only in math classes though nearly in Physics as well as it's very math-heavy. Most other subjects I was either a B or C student in, with English and Language Arts being where I excelled).
Also, I call very unjust bull on teachers having to spend out of pocket on supplies. Do police officers have to come out of pocket for more bullets? Do fire fighters have to pay out of pockets for new hoses? Hell, gas for the truck or police cruiser is probably even covered by taxes AND they get free shit or discounts from stores and fast food places. But it's rare I see discounts for teachers. So they're underpaid and then have to use that minimal money to still buy supplies...brilliant. Just brilliant 😓

I mentioned seeking activities which will allow him to converse with strangers, including the attractive young women we all know that he's looking for.

That's where my comment was directed, and I'm quite sure that you knew that. It's still ridiculous to be "torn" because of "comptetition" with other guys through the girls you meet on a Tinder dating app (which is almost exclusively based on race and perceived attractiveness). Everything is a competition, and everyone is vying for the attention of another, unless people aren't. Which bring me to the conclusion that he's not going where there isn't much competition. Thus why I believe that he's not seeking "normal" looking young women outside of online dating. He sounds like he believes that he is entitled to attention from attractive young women, once he arrives on the scene and "meets" or "traps" them. There should be no competition.

I was a Okcupid moderator, there is zero training. We were just chosen because no one ever filled a complaint about our accounts and we were “outstanding members of the community.” Most of the things we reviewed were people making either phishing account with a pornstar pics or someone posting a dick pics. Occasionally it was someone posting a profile pic of them with a bunch of other people making it hard to tell which person it was or someone making their profile pic an animal.

Agree and they will never admit that
Y'all know the point of dating apps isn't for you to find your S/O right? It's to keep you on the app for as long as possible.
I'd use Horton Dating
