chess dating apps elo rating

Are you on the apps? I'm on the apps. I love them. Chess.com, lichess, grindr

I'm not gay, I'm just afraid of women

At least on chess.com, I can improve my elo score without deleting the app

For those who don't know, The Elo rating system is a way to measure the relative skill levels of players in zero-sum games. Like chess, or dating in LA.

If you know about the elo system in chess, you're doing okay. If you know about the elo rating on hinge, you are not.

Chess apps have great user experiences. Like if you're bad at chess, they have puzzles and tutorials to teach you how to play better. I think dating apps should have the same.

"This opening is called 'I eat ass'; now pay attention because it doesn't work all the time, but if you do it right, you're in the game. It's one of the only openings where you can say exactly what you're gonna do before you do it"

And they should give you a play by play analysis like they do with chess games.

For example: He opens: "Hi :)" — good start She responds "Hi :)" — not bad. It could still go either way He says: "You're cute. We should go out sometime." — okay. Pretty basic. There are better moves (like the I eat ass opening), but we can see how this plays out She asks: "How tall are you" He responds: "How much do you weigh" — Okay let's stop right there. That's mean. What he should have done is… Lie.

— I also think dating apps should do bullet matches, 1 minute each. 1 minute for the guy to prove he's not a serial killer and 1 minute for the girl to prove that she's real.
