There is always a relevant xkcd.

Now this may be because of the extreme lack of variety in my wardrobe and my sedate lifestyle, but I've never really had problems wearing out clothes. Even really cheap ones.

Those were my faces.

• The farting in public gap. DO IT, LADIES! FARTS ARE HILARIOUS!

Nope, I'm a dumb who can't read.

If you're interpreting this as trolling, we're not gonna get along and I'm gonna get mad at you for assuming shit about people you have not right nor reason to assume. We both agree condom use is too low. We both agree that condoms are very much imperfect. We disagree on some other bits, and there's no reason we…

Congratulations on dating the 1%. You can fit a condom over your fist, you know.

I'm well aware that poor people exist. My family was made of 'em. But you're doing the same thing as the other person I'm arguing with. You're discarding the cheap/free ones as not good enough and pretending cost is the problem. NOT BEING GOOD ENOUGH is the problem.

The point of the numbery exercise in illustrating how incomplete data ruins everything was really just to give an idea of the magnitudes at play here. 75 million is a lot of matches. How many people is the average person matched with in their life, and what percent of the population is married? I just don't see 50…

Really? Didn't you just say that "those free ones that always seem to be fluorescent blue" were an option?

I agree, people won't buy the dirt cheap condoms. And I agree that's a problem that needs resolution. And the resolution is to make them better. The SAME THING that needs to be done to the more expensive condoms. Making the more expensive condoms cheaper still doesn't fix those same problems, it just reduces the…

I think even with only those criteria (if they were actually honored) you would find a marriageable (better word for this?) match within a million and a half people.

I do not refuse to believe there are people too poor to comfortably afford condoms, assuming you mean comfortably as in the condom's use and not the financial situation. I agree with you that there are a lot of people who can only afford the least comfortable condoms out there.

See, you have medical requirements that make it harder for you. I agree, in your case there's no choice and you gotta plonk down the big bucks.

Aaaand now I feel stupid for kinda waltzing past the word hookup in the title.

It's... specifically a hookup app? I didn't get that at all from the article. Especially since the article advertises an engagement rate as a measure of its success.

I'd bet if you were matched with 1,500,000 (75,000,000 / 50) people you'd marry one.

They've matched 75 million people in less than a year and 50 of those relationships have culminated in engagements.

I don't get what's upsetting people here.
