Lol maybe I should make two hinge profiles
Disclaimer
- personal
- target audience - strictly myself
Main
- One profile for a type-1 person with my actual long-term ideal partner, who I will meet often, and have high standards for.
- And another profile for a type-2 person where I am fine with short-term and have fairly low standards, and probably won't meet that often.
- Stupid but might work.
- Will look into this later, not now.
- Right now I only have the first profile, not the second one.
Update
- I don't know, actually on thinking more about this, I am still not sure if this is a good idea?
- Dating is hard enough while being authentic, I don't actually understand the people who manage to do while also being fake lol.
- Actually in my case it is not about fake, it is more about yes I do have two separate sets of people I want to meet. One is a much narrower set for long-term and other is broader set for short-term.
- Honestly I think this is in fact a pretty common thing to want. A lot of guys would probably admit that their set for long-term is narrower than their set for short-term, but both have significant overlap.
How do you A/B test something with such a long feedback loop?
- I think this is actually the core part of the problem.
- Dating apps have tight feedback loops but they're not on the metrics you care about. You get feedback on how many likes, how many conversations, how many first dates, how many people you had sex with. But the actual metric to care about (atleast for me) is whether you remained together after 6 months, and whether you remained together after a value transition 5 years later. Dating apps straight up do not have good feedback loops for the latter. If anything, if you optimise too hard for the former (maximising likes) my sense is you will lose some of the latter.
- In general, tasks with long feedback loops are where you need a lot of theory, you can't just learn everything from practice.
Actually fuck it, I think I'm going to stick to my current profile aiming for long-term, for atleast another 6 months. If it still fails after 6 months, I will consider making a second profile in parallel, just for short-term.
