I usually enable 2FA where possible. I just counted my accounts that use them: 14. My password manager stores around 100 accounts. So, yeah.

This makes sense. Thank you!

Something I thought about recently as well. I might be wrong, but is pressure not just a differential from inside to the outside? If it gets warm, air expands inside the tire, but so does the air outside, pushing back. It kinda sounds right, but I don’t know.

Something I would’ve said. Stretching my legs and spreading my wings CAN get confusing.

That’s what they want us to believe.

Thing is, nobody can help her but herself. It takes a lot of accepting and patience and this often seems to be the best help.

Yeah, they work. To a certain point. Over the last decade or so I got dozens of dates. If you are engaging in conversation, asking interesting questions and are generally nice to talk to (and your profile and picture show this upfront) you can get dates.

But it gets increasingly harder to get matches as a platform gains popularity. Apps usually put newcomers to the top of the stack to make them visible and get them matches. The older your profile, the more profiles are newer then yours and you slowly fall down the stack. When the app grows in size, you are quicker to go down the stack.

In addition to that it seems every app has a certain demographic progression: At first more women use a new app. They don’t get that much matches and are more likely to match. As time goes on this changes, as men are joining and making up 70% of the user base. Now woman are flooded with people wanting to match and you are unlikely to stick out or, what happens more often: people are overwhelmed and just stop interacting.

My extensive use of apps showed me that you can be most successful in fairly new apps. Bumble used to be really awesome until it got popular.
