    You sure are good at finding articles that make you think the sky is falling, aren't you?

It's my one and only talent. Disclaimer, I don't use Tinder at this point, but have been feeling very overwhelmed by technology and virtual interactions and constant connectivity. I'm exactly the person who does this:

    you'll spend 45 minutes cross-referencing head-fi.org with Amazon with Crutchfield with Consumer Reports with Reddit in order to buy a brand you've never heard of before (and then another 30 researching whether burn-in is real)

and it's exhausting but at the same time, in this instance, I want to feel like my money was well spent. When it comes to dating I'd like to feel like my time was well spent. I guess it comes down to not wanting to waste anything unless it's something I want to do. Meanwhile you have 5031 dating sites, 31905151351 review sites, and maybe 10 people who have a clue what they're talking about. We need to scale back.
