If you are married or in a long term relationship living with someone for years how did you meet your partner?

I met my husband of now 16 years on match.com ... but I don't know if that would work today? There was a window when online dating was kind of amazing ... but everyone now says it's terrible.

I met my wife on OkCupid thirteen years ago. The website said we wouldn't be a good match

@futurebird Online dating apps are designed to keep you miserable and paying.
I met my partner in a twitch/art community.

@futurebird is activism in the university "school" or "in-person local scene"?

If online dating companies cared about making great matches they'd interview people who were successful to improve the service in ways to make that happen more often, but these are the people who don't pay them anymore and probably never ever will pay them again... so the business model is opposed to success.

I paid for 4 months of "match.com" back in 2005 ... a total of about $20 bucks at most and will never need them again.
Terrible customer. Total failure. But, I'm very happy with how it all worked out.

capitalists believe that other people's misery enriches them, with a ferocity no anti-capitalist can even dream of.

@futurebird Someone did an investigation, and I didn't save the URL (duh!), on exactly how they *could* match us with near perfect partners and they deliberately do not.
There's always going to be single people, and you could make a decent living matching them up.
There's just more money in keeping people unhappy.

@holsta @futurebird I was on various online dating sites for four miserable years, where I focused on top 90% matches. It was one horrible first date after another. I then decided the algorithm was for shit, and looked at the bottom 30%. That's where I found my husband nearly 13 years ago. He encouraged me to write a blog about it.

College, as there was no WWW back then. Followed the "study session to long-term relationship" pipeline.
