The Sammy factor is underated tbh. Matchmaking creates accountability that algorithms can't replicate. When someone stakes thier reputation on two people connecting, there's built-in quality control. Apps optimize for engagement, not compatibility. I've noticed couples who met through mutual friends have way more staying power, probably because someone already vouched for both sides.
I met my now ex wife before appsceven existed-- in an early yahoo chat room. We were together 25 years and civil union/ married for 23 of them.
Someone recently recommended I get on an app but at almost 70, no thank you
This was such a fun ride! Thanks.
This is a great story, and so well written. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers to Sammy and deleting our apps!!
Delete those apps. MEET people. Love it.
Loved this to pieces. A real story. A real love story.
Wonderful - and wonder-full - post! Thank you.
