    You know, there's probably fewer perverse incentives with a government run dating service. Obviously I can imagine ways it could suck, but when I compare them to how commercial dating services are run it's hard to see how they could do a _worse_ job.

      edit: isn't a government run dating site like a more gentle handmaid's tale basically?

        Demonizing shacking up together is like justifying your own insecurities.
