What a weird and cynical thing to comment. "Through friends" and "through church" and "through work" are also kinds of algorithms, just limited. And not everyone who met online met through a dating service that's using an algorithm to match people. I met my now wife online in 2014 on an MMO, no algorithm involved.

MMO

no algorithm involved.

I know what you mean, but as a software engineer this offended me.

I think that we all know that those filthy MMO software engineers use heuristics instead of algorithms.

The idea of being controlled by religion, meeting women that tolerate my friends, and fucking my co-workers are all equally unpalatable

I'm not sure I get what you mean about friends, wouldn't having a partner that gets along with one's friends be a good thing?
