He said it’s the absolute truth that “Jewish communities have been pushing the exact kind of dialectical hatred against whites that they claim to want people to stop using against them”

> They refuse to hire or even interview white, black, or Hispanic candidates.

This is complete BS, the org has as many white developers as asian and indian and even opened a big branch in Madrid

> You can pay H1Bs less, and they’re happy with it because they get to live in Redmond, WA instead of India.

Salary is a _direct_ computation from performance ratings which are the same % for every org. For H1Bs to be paid lower, they need to be systemically rated lower by the same managers who "refuse to hire white, black, hispanic" candidates.

I’ll provide a perspective not usually found on programming forums - over 6 months of usage, I had ~250 matches on Tinder when I was 23. I’m not unusually attractive by any stretch, but before I started I treated getting matches as a technical problem and A/B tested pictures as well as seriously studied what types of pictures tend to do well, and deliberately shot each type.

Of those 250 matches, I didn’t message half. These were people with almost nothing in their profile who I also didn’t find particularly attractive. Half the people I did message didn’t respond back or ghosted after a few messages

So about 60 short to medium conversations. In the majority of those, it was clear that they weren’t particularly interested in dating or were on the app for an ego boost(or perhaps I wasn’t attractive enough for them)

I was able to get about a dozen numbers, out of which a third ghosted me and a third got ghosted by me. I dated 2 people casually and met 1 woman that caused me to delete the app, and I have been with her for 1.5 years.

If I had to start over again, I reckon the odds of me finding a relationship is very very low. The LTR started after the girl messaged me first( which happened like 1% of the time) but it was obvious she was attracted and interested in meeting. But I count myself very lucky that happened. I would likely be single if I didn’t match with her.

TL;DR: Tinder is a huge crapshoot even if you’re getting matches
