There are supposedly these formulas that can calculate how compatible you are with someone. There are all these data points that can be collected and analyzed, and the percentages calculated for every domain of human interaction conceivable. The pool of possible candidates is then sieved with the use of parameters dictated by such computation so that the ones that stand before you for review are deemed most complement. But after a while, that pool doesn't seem to dwindle, and the confidence value doesn't seem to waver even as you attempt to winnow the crowd swipe after swipe. Then, it becomes like a bad version of Netflix, still making recommendations, but despite scrolling at a pace to instigate optokinetic nystagmus, nothing really catches the eye. Until you realize it is better to just put the screen down, close the computer. Pick up a book [or not], and just go outside and see what there is to be seen, without expectations, without statistics.
