20 [F4M] Assessing the "Structural Soundness" of Modern Dating. #NY

As a 20-year-old college athlete and civil engineering student, I’ve been analyzing the current dating landscape, and the "mechanical load" of finding a real connection is starting to feel like an uphill site survey. It seems like a significant portion of the "architecture" on these apps is built around redirecting traffic to paid pages or external content rather than actual human interaction. When you do find a match that seems structurally sound, the technical specifications and high demands often feel like they’re designed for a high-priority infrastructure project rather than a mutual partnership, making it difficult to establish any real ground.
