2021-10-17 "Needless to say, "To become an adult who can have the options of a fulfilling love life and a happy married life." absolutely" [長年日記]

The other day, as a project of the section, we were divided into several groups and tried to have a free discussion (no theme).

So, since there was a young guy (in his 20s) in the group, I asked him about "matching apps".

There are two main questions.

(1) Do you have any resistance to using a matching app?

(2) Is it possible to openly disclose the fact that you got married through the matching app?

At any rate, I am a person who has only heard about dating sites, which have caused many problems, and I have no plans to use matching apps in the future.

In other words, I am a person who is certain that I will not be able to experience matching apps in a real way.

-----

Well, the answers were : (1) no, and (2) not publicly.

This answer, while seemingly contradictory, makes a lot of sense to me.

This is what the "e-mail" of a science student on a college campus in the late 1980s looked like.

From the view of the history of e-mail, it will probably be a few more years before the use of "matching apps" can be spoken of publicly.

-----

The only thing I can say is that even if "matching apps" become a normal communication infrastructure, the situation will continue to be that 'people who can't fall in love or get married will always be unable to do so.

Matching is the provision of a "place" and the "exchange of value" there.

A match is made when there is a common understanding that "your value" and "the other person's value" are the same to be able to be exchanged.

In that sense, I guess.

"Matching "love" is hopelessly difficult"

and,

"Getting the "signal" to light up is hopelessly difficult"

I remembered that.

"I don't know what I'm studying English or math for!"

To the children who shouted,

"Needless to say, "To become an adult who can have the options of a fulfilling love life and a happy married life." absolutely"

I think it is admirable for an adult to be able to say something like this outright.
