If I date anyone in 2024, this resolves YES. If not, this resolves NO. Most cases should be pretty clear cut, but if both myself and someone else consider ourselves to be in a relationship this definitely resolves YES. If a reasonable third party considers us together for more than two weeks, it also resolves YES.
Some general questions:
What part of the world do you live in?
What is the size, gender balance, and relationship success rate of your friendship group?
What dating methods do you intend to use?
What are your political views e.g. in terms of economics, government, and progressivism (particularly gender equality)?
What are your free-time hobbies, and what topics do you enjoy chatting about, both for small talk and deep discussions?
Do you have any neurodivergence?
Do you find it difficult to enjoy the company of, compassionately care about, and trust people you meet?
Do any you have a date-me-doc? e.g. https://dateme.directory/
These questions vastly affect the odds in my opinion
Good luck :)
I'm not going to answer these in public, because I cannot delete manifold comments, and, even if I could, the internet is forever and most of this is way too personal. Happy to talk over messages.
@NivlacM Where is the data supporting this alleged advantage lol, I'm beginning to think you're in the pocket of Big Chino! (pun unintended)
@benjaminIkuta I don't get matches and I don't really attend non-rationalist-adjacent social events (since I don't hear about them). I'm not entirely sure what I should do.
@JoeC get better photos. Use Photofeeler, hire a photographer if you need to. Join the Optimized Dating discord server for advice.

You can also search Instagram for the hashtag "[city name]photographer"
@benjaminIkuta if you go with Snappr or Instagram, for best results, evaluate their portfolio first by either asking on the discord or testing the photos on Photofeeler
