> dating as I define it is horribly broken

Socializing as a whole is broken, triggered by the disappearance of third places, the dissolution of communities at the altar of the nuclear dual-income family, live-at-work jobs and "hustle culture" (Veblen entrepreneurship), and the unlimited streaming doom-scroll.

With nowhere to go but work and home, good luck finding anyone to date or befriend via a nonexistent organic social network.
