The Perfect Algorithm for Finding Love? with Christian Rudder \[VIDEO\]
2025/5/22
What Now? with Trevor Noah
@Trevor Noah : 我认为，约会应用普及是文化发展的自然结果，就像亚马逊促进购物一样。人们使用这些应用是因为渴望爱情故事，但过度使用导致效率至上，而爱情和人际关系并非高效。约会应用本意是帮助人们找到伴侣，但最终却让人迷失在无尽的选择中，难以建立深层联系。数据揭示了人们真实的行为模式，而非他们宣称的偏好，这有助于我们反思自身选择。
@Christiana : 我观察到，现代约会应用如Tinder和Bumble，与早期的OkCupid相比，过度简化了用户互动。OkCupid要求用户通过文字和兴趣来展示自我，而现在更多依赖照片，这导致匹配质量下降。许多单身女性朋友对这些应用感到失望，因为男性在现实生活中也沉迷于滑动屏幕，难以建立真实的联系。这种现象促使我们思考，是否应该回归更注重个人表达和深入了解的约会模式。
@Christian Rudder : 我认为，尽管在线约会比以往更受欢迎，但用户满意度并不高。Tinder的用户数量显著下降，表明人们对现有模式感到厌倦。 dating app的目标应该是促成现实世界的联系，而非仅仅增加用户在应用上的时间。我赞同应该更多地关注用户个性和价值观的匹配，而非仅仅依赖外貌。未来的约会应用应利用人工智能更好地了解用户，并赋予用户更多控制权，从而改善匹配质量。
