I know that this is completely unrelated, but you just spoiled the ending of Planet of The Apes. Tongue Then again, it is from 1968, people should've seen it by now. But still....

A very rudimentary and shallow dating app.  I use it.

Now that the prudes have made speaking to women illegal, men must communicate to the fairer sex solely through the internet.

I don't see the problem with Tinder. 

Now that the prudes have made speaking to women illegal, men must communicate to the fairer sex solely through the internet.

You mean by yelling at women on the street?  Did that ever lead to a date?

You're obviously missing some context for the joke.

I'm sure with that your radiant personality, you have lines of people eager to engage you in polite conversation. These sorts of offputting attitides are exactly why so many people here are still virgins.

Why don't you try it before you knock it! I had about 40 matches before I deleted the app, and I live in Eastern Nebraska and am part of the demographic that experiences the least success at online dating. You live in Seattle and are white, so I wouldn't be surprised if you could get about 4x the matches.

No, and stop being such a prude, Lief. Tongue

(I will admit to a slight bit of cranky DFW-esque Ludditism regarding our society's constant suckling at the teat of smartphones/electronic gadgetry in general, but the idea that a dating app is somehow particularly blameworthy or problematic in that context strikes me as obviously false.)

I'm not a big fan of Tinder but I also don't mind it that much. Never used it myself though. Did give my friend a job!

You don't mind people basically choosing who to chat with based solely on physical attractiveness?  Colored me shocked, Staf.

Oh you're only scratching the surface to the gates of hell, you should get antiquated with Grindr...

Yes it seems awful when you put it that way.

Also, don't tell me Lief is doing a Naso style hit and run here.
