I analyzed hundreds of user's Tinder data -- including messages -- so you didn't have to.

I read Modern Romance by Aziz Ansari in 2016 and beyond a shadow of a doubt, it is one of the most influential books I've ever read. At the time, I was a snot-nosed college student who was still dating someone from high school. The numbers and figures given by the book about online dating success struck me as being callous. Millennials and their predecessors were blessed and cursed with the advent of the internet. The proliferation of partner-choice desensitizes us and gives us unrealistic expectations when it came to searching for our "soulmate." Instead of feeling dissuaded, I felt inspired.
