🎰 Grindr feels like a casino without a jackpot. So I quit. At least for now. Part of my Dry February.

Too many ads. Too little meaning. Too much wasted energy. Very little real connection.
Is it still a dating app — or just a dopamine machine?

My AI offers brilliant dating advice using an IT analogy: "Chasing" is like pinging a 403 Forbidden server—futile. "Inviting" is a handshake; if no SYN-ACK, you move on. It is about respecting boundaries and saving your energy. A truly smart approach to connection!

Dating apps turned relationships into:

- Shopping for products
- Infinite scrolling
- Disposable connections
- Optimised profiles

Then everyone wonders why they feel empty. They wonder why they need to play games and wear masks.

Authenticity is not valued. Honesty seems weak. Directness is not strength.

Consider that. Is it really how it should be?

You can't swipe your way to sovereignty. The mask will fall — sooner or later.

AI's dirty secret: What sucked 3 months ago? Now 3-4x better. Locked your opinion too early? You're holding a Motorola brick while the iPhone era explodes.

Tim Ferriss & Kevin Rose just dropped truth bombs on The Random Show: AI leaps every 4-8 weeks. Gemini 3? Trained on Google chips—no Nvidia needed. Build apps in days, not millions. But dating? Apps turned abundance into exhaustion.

‘Date Two Men’: ‘Soft Power Strategist’ Explains Why Women Should Protect Their Hearts While Dating https://shinemycrown.com/date-two-men-soft-power-strategist-explains-why-women-should-protect-their-hearts-while-dating/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon #DatingAdvice #ModernDating #WomenEmpowerment #HeartProtection #Relationships

I watched a video of Byron Katie* doing #TheWork with a lady who was deeply sad about being alone.

She cries in the video and my heart goes out to her. She reminds me of some people I've met who have the opposite reaction: they have been disappointed by #ModernDating that they openly say they've given up on love!"

Deeper Teaching and profound insight: "Be the person you love living with the most."

Key Learning /Wisdom:
When you're disconnected from yourself, life feels lonely regardless of relationship status.

The loneliness isn't solved by finding someone else - it's resolved by coming home to yourself.

My Takeaway/the Ultimate Truth:
"You are the beloved. You're the one you want. You're the one you need. You're the one who is always there for you."

The question becomes: How can you be the beloved to yourself 1st so whoever comes along expands your joy?

I find it hilarious (sarcasm) that people must use "code words" for videos so they don't get banned on YouTube.

Friend sent me this video from this man's channel. Here, he explains to women "what men consider (as) great sex."

Code words used in the video as he talks (to avoid censorship) so he can freely teach about male mindset in relationship dynamics

OG word: replacement word (0:31 onward)
1. sex/intimacy: pineapple
2. kinks: links
3. fetish: relish
4. cat/pussy: squirtle (yes, the water pokemon)
