The author's final recommendation about investing in offline third places is very true in modern Singapore
Modern dating problem comes from too many online platforms trying to sell you a lifestyle and tell you what you should have. People do not need another online platform to solve the problem caused by online platforms
Also governments should investigate how to incentive real life dating, or foster situations in which people can know each other more organically than by the magazine / algorithm driven online world. Many service of speed date, dinners and night activity already exist in the private market, have a government sponsor on the back can be a valid alternative as you would have potential access to better places (public palaces, museum, squares) that gets reserved for the purpose or you can explore economic incentives. Like public workers have right of a holiday day more if the go to a day government date. People are very busy, overworked and serious dating is often seen as another effort sucking activity, so incentives on those sides have potential.
