Do you think AI will replace dating in the future?

I could see it happening

if they say s*x sells, it means someone profits from it, so in other words dating is just another way to manipulate people and take away their money. i often think its artificial that we get into it thinking a person is in love whereas they may simply be a middle man manipulator, same in the bond movies you see villains using middle men that pretend to be your lover, so in other words its just may be an instrument in manipulating public opinion same as loaf of bread can be used or eletricity or water or medical supplies.

Society puts too much value on sex IMO. No one is going to care that you're a virgin in the grand scheme of things other than your significant other. It doesn't determine your value as a human if you're getting a lot of sex or not much.

A video I feel would make a difference. You could get a feel for another person's personality and hear their voice.

You have to assume that everything on the profile is fake. From the picture, to some video, to the age, to the data, to whatever they state there as hobbies, or what their interests are, or what they like and dislike, or what they´re looking for, or whatever stands there. The only thing which these things can possibly be used for is to formulate a first message, and after it You should forget about the profile as You´re then either in contact or not. (while it can´t harm to remember stuff which stands there as some women appreciate that - the few which are actually real and honest about their profile. But You don´t talk about that - instead You react to it, when she talks about something similar by herself, depending on how she speaks about it. If she´s enthusiastic You say that this is one very important thing for You as well, and that You recognized it on her profile - or something along the lines. Depends what Your goals there are, but eventually You have to use the one or other trick to push it a bit, while there it´s not something which You can learn by reading something or by watching some guide - and if anything fails You´re just Yourself. As it doesn´t work if You try to act after some script, or play another role. Just be open and honest about Yourself, and of course be honest about Your goals there. And if You´re on a date: it´s not about You - it´s all about her. She´s the center of attention, while You talk about Yourself as well every now and then, only to prevent her from asking about Yourself. Not because You fear the question, but because it´s a sign that she is either bored or annoyed by talking about herself. If she´s rather shy You talk a bit more about You, to show her that she´s safe and okay for her talk about anything as well as You won´t judge and aren´t perfect either.)

To know the personality of people it takes a bit longer. Written it doesn´t work very well, a video wouldn´t change much, and even after a date You don´t know it, as people tend to show their best side on these occasions. So it probably takes some months to know more about the personality. The "feeling for the personality" can easily guide You in some wrong way. Same as when writing for too long, as the people tend to interpret more in it that as it actually is, and it´s about some interpretation and creation of a virtual person, which differs from the real person. This usually leads to disappointment, and You need to make sure that she doesn´t overly glorify You before You actually met, or warn her about it if she insists, while assuming that You do this for Yourself by default. Like said: she´s the center of attention, and You´re the one who stays grounded and real, to oversee the situation, and correct it if it goes too far into the wrong direction - which doesn´t work so well, when You´re horny because of some video. And that´s not talking about things which might sound like they´re rather bad habits, or things which would turn off - but are actually quite cute or secondary on a certain person if You know them better - or vice versa. So there´s nothing which replaces a meeting in person. I personally preferred to go into a restaurant for a date, as my idea was that if the date would be bad, at least the food would be good, so the time isn´t wasted. Only few would date at home, or at some shady places, but these might be options if money is tight - or the goals are different...

Yes...

Men will have AI sex robots in their homes, replacing women. I can see this happening and it will cause a crisis because the population of young people will fall off the cliff. We can see this already in a few East Asian countries (Japan, Korea).

How could that even be possible?

Online dating has too many flaws that it's not worth using. You would think with all the advances in technology, someone with half a brain could design a better way to meet people through the internet.

I basically said that online dating has too many flaws, that´s why You need to meet the people in person. No online service or technology would replace it. I forgot the TL;DR though...

The AI will decide how the dating goes

[KitKat <3]

I do not think AI can replace actual dating. However, yes it can be difficult at times for people to find someone or even approach someone just cause of the fear of rejection. I'll share my own story. I'm 24, brown, around 5'8" and the amount of times I've faced rejection it makes it difficult to even ask people out now.

Some of the things people think when they reject me:
- You're short (I'm not. I'm average. I may not be 6ft but I'm not too short either so please lower your dating standards)
- You're brown (Yeah living in a white country I can understand that)
- You're not that rich (This is kind of one of the biggest factors. I may not be extremely wealthy but it's not like I'm begging people either. I earn a decent living but most women do not see that)

You see if you're a guy in your mid 20s and you're not good looking you have to be rich.. You have to be rich or else no girl would be interested in you irrespective of how great your personality is, whether you're humourous or not, whether you're smart or not, etc. Now I would say I'm an average 6 or 7 out of 10 which means that I'm not the most attractive person in the room for sure. And since I'm also not extremely rich, I've hardly seen girls approach me first and having faced rejection a lot now I'm even more scared to approach anyone. But this is just my story. There are plenty of people like me. Both guys and girls as well. The same issues I've listed apply to girls too because of unrealistic dating expectations (has to be fair skin, perfect body, nice a**, etc). No one wants to settle for anything less. They don't see a person for who they are and rather than for what they are or look like. Truth is, unrealistic dating expectations have ruined it for most of the people who don't fall under that top notch threshold.

Such people feel a void in their life. Daily. Every day waking up when there's no one next to you. When you like making food but there's no one to cook for. When you like watching shows and series but there's no one to share them with. When you like playing co-op games but don't have someone special to play them with. When you want to hug someone but the opposite gender won't touch you after more than hour (cause that's what I paid for lol).. You see, people are lonely. Often more times than they'd like to admit. And this is where AI dating can be a hit. All they want is someone to be there for them. To listen to them. Someone who they can listen to. Someone to sit together with at the end of an exhausting day. But most people like me don't have that someone and this is where AI dating can help. Guaranteed it will never be as good as physical dating, but something better than nothing right. Right??

Man I did went all out on this ehh. My bad I did not want to lol. Sorry 🙈

No doubts about that.

He looks like the guy I remember seeing a vid about marrying Miko<sp> and if this is a truthful video, he's a walking case-study... textbook stuff. He has crossed the Rubicon.

Indeed and do agree, I also have found out there's a few NGO's and a business that is helping both adults and the younger generations in regards to the loneliness epidemic which is nice. It's enough help being provided across all that country? Probably not, but hey step by step the help can reach even more people.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U1TwfeSRDeQ

There's many ways to solve the issue, and many people are helping in one way or another which is good!

They have advantages in Japan, and in other countries, that we don't have in the US. Primarily, their culture.

In many countries and cultures, multi-generational family units are normal. In the US, that's not the case and hasn't been for a long time. In Japan and some other cultures in the region, family is venerated. That's... definitely not that common in the US. But, from what I remember reading, Japan still has a good many single elderly residents living alone who may not have any family left. In their situation, it's not much different than what happens to many elderly people in the US - They don't have anyone.


That video is fascinating! Thanks!

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4912003/

The interesting thing about the video is the age of the hikokomori and the apparent prevalence in that generation and its effects - Parents that should be worrying more about their own care are worried about their children... These children are otherwise functional adults who have managed to remain isolated and at home. There are certainly parallels in the US. It's fascinating stuff, truly. What the Hikokomori are saying is exactly the same things that many young people in the US are saying, but these Japanese are experiencing such things at a MUCH older age. In the US, at that age, they would be alone with little, if any, other support.

In the link above, one significant finding in the research that was done is that there are a significant number of these hikikomori suffering from existing disorders. IMO, historically speaking, this may have gone somewhat unrecognized in the US simply because it may not have been as easy to survive in that state, just because the person wouldn't have had the familial support they may have been able to find in Japanese culture.

The most obvious thing to note:

...The irony of the term hikikomori is that it has achieved such popularity in use and recognition that it may now be unwittingly obfuscating diagnosis.... In short, we suspect that hikikomori, as a term, has flourished in no small part because it is less stigmatizing than other terms for mental illness

I wanted to point this out because this exact same problem is occurring right now in the US. Not hikikomori... but disguising mental issues by calling them anything else but what they actually are.

PS: Thanks for those vids, all! They were really interesting!

No. Would you trust a machine? It could manipulate and ruin you for political or business interests.
