That almost reads like an ad-hominem attack against someone whose perception of reality you don't understand.

My experience, too, is that the energy of meeting someone in person is much better than "meeting" someone online. Also, it's much easier to qualify if the person you're dating is mentally stable and at ease with themselves if you see them in person. It's way too easy to hide serious character flaws when only chatting online. But for a relationship, they'll be deal-breakers.

That means unless you want to waste hours on dates that lead nowhere, you need to quickly meet the other person in-person to do the basic sanity check.

Plus there's all that pheromone stuff which is impossible to check for online.

I didn’t but whatever helps you justify reality.

This is an unfortunate comment for HN.

Seeing how many followers his Twitter has and other metrics the 30 under 30 list is still as useless as I remember it being. I wonder how much money his parents had to spend to help him look like this. Even then he gives off the vibes of someone desperate it's probably why he uses it so frequently. Can't find any real form of connection with others yet doesn't understand his own problems and why women find him so unappealing. A real life click bait but that's what gets the most attention on these sites instead of any real form of human connection, though physical appearances do play a big role. So does a lot of things like proximity and well personality.
