Elo?
Personally, I donāt like the fact that every team-based video game uses ELO, a system designed for a 1 on 1 game, to determine an individualās skill.
While Elo (and side note: itās a personās name, not an acronym) isnāt perfect and systems like Glicko-2 are better even for 1v1s, is there a better system than Elo that could be used to rate players in team games? Especially if thereās a mix of pre-made teams and random teams thrown together by matchmaking?
Edit: extra bonus if it can be applicable in games that have both 1v1 and team game components where there might be a desire for some form of bleed between the two. (e.g. AoE2 where your starting Elo in one of them is based on your Elo in the other, if youāve played a lot of one type of game before trying the other.)
I thought it was common knowledge that the pickier you are on Tinder, the better your matches will be. Swipe right on everyone and you wonāt have much luck on that app.
Mr. Blue Sky?
Whatās a foid?
It stands for female humanoid and is exactly as dehumanizing as it sounds
How is that ādehumanizingā when human is literally in the explanation. Had it been āfemale apeoidā Iād have agreed, but humanoidā¦ So āmoidā for male humanoid is ādehumanizingā too?

āA humanoid is a non-human entity with human form or characteristics.ā https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humanoid
A humanoid is by definition not human, hence calling a human a humanoid is dehumanizing.
Remeber when greentext was something interesting or toughtfull? Instead of fariytales for incels?
I think this is an unrealized thought experiment by op. I donāt believe the Chad he imagines has any relation to the man most woman are looking for.
Op creates profile that makes him look rich and stupid.
Gets targeted by bots using ai generated images of mildly attractive women.
Thinks heās actually attracting human beings.
Anon still has never willingly gotten the attention of a human woman besides his mother
Can women message people on Tinder they havenāt matched with?
And if this was effective wouldnāt it lower all womenās Elo scores? Unless he only ignored one group and catfished everybody else. Sounds like a lot of work.
No, only tinder premium can do so IIRC.
Bumble? From memory women can only message first, men must wait to be messaged before they can.
Itās been a while since I used those platforms so my information could be incorrect.
Bumble is moving away from having women message first as apparently it was too much of a burden for the women on that app (According to https://www.npr.org/2024/05/06/1249296671/bumble-dating-apps-women-opening-moves )
Understandable as I find having to generate an opener hard too. Kinda a shame though as the point was to give them a place to have some more control with the interactions.
As a man who would often get matches but rarely get so much as a āhiā to allow the conversation to start (iād say only 1/8 of the matches would say anything in the 24h), I really wonder why. A number of women apparently never read that they were supposed to send a message first when using bumble (I did hear that more than once on the app), but others? Why?
Yeah, the old Bumble model was better (in my opinion as a man). It creates incentive to have an interesting profile with stuff people can comment on. The newer āopening moveā thing incentivizes generic responses. Bumble (in my experience) still has women message first far more often than Tinder though. You may just have to wait and not message immediately.
Creating an opening message is only really difficult if someone has a generic boring profile, so if itās an issue for anyone maybe thatās why.
