I had the same problem, and I really only fixed it by getting a different mouse. You can look up different mouse reviews, the only mouse reviewer I knew was RocketJumpNinja, but there are probably others these days. He had lots of comparison videos which were helpful in determining which would work best for me and my large hands. (I ended up with the Corsair Ironclaw wired. Not the best mouse shape, but it works well enough).
More often than one would think. Apparently someone fell on their .38 revolver and it went all the way up :(
Best $12 I spent in awhile. Great coffeetable book, lmao. It’s a real conversation-starter. https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/713sBBhxtPL._AC_UF1000,1000_QL80_.jpg
Bumble used to be different back in the day. I tried it when it was going down the tubes.
I think part of the problem is that the matching is fairly superficial, so while you know a little about the person, most of the details amount to their face, 1-3 hobbies, and their ass.
The women I matched with that I went out with were awkward and felt forced. In the end, I ended up falling in love with a close guy friend that I had known for years.
If bumble wants success, they should allow for much deeper Q&A, longer response times, a tweaked algorithm that matches people based off hobbies and passions, and an AD section that allows people to privately put in stuff that they like after dark. Info that isn’t shared with their matches, but helps make people match better with people like them.
As for straight dating though, idk. I feel like people should probably be avoiding apps and meeting organically through stuff like biking groups, climbing groups, skiing events, big dance venues, etc. it fosters much more organic connections.
I don’t participate in bar culture that much, but the difference between the gay bars I’ve gone to and the straighter college-y bars feels immense. The former is much more social with a pinch of kink, the latter is where people are getting absolutely blitzed without much dialogue over loud music. It’s an extremely small sample size, but I can’t help but wonder if it’s part of a larger trend when it comes to meeting people and how portions of society meet and date. Perhaps there are bars where single straight men and women meet over 1-2 drinks and talk, but I haven’t seen any so far.
Overall, I think the Internet and cars (decreasing population density and increasing the space between third places) has had a dramatically negative impact on love and friendships in places like the US.
They are good, but chronically underfunded, and we need to copy virtually everything the European version of the FDA has banned.
