Did you ever wish for those long-ago days where your cousin would introduce you to his awesome buddy and the sparks would fly, old school style? If you find most popular dating apps a bit daunting and fraught with strangers ready to send you a dick-pic at “hello,” then this is the site for you. Hitch allows you to set up two of your Facebook friends who can then begin an anonymous chat. If there is a connection, the two can connect in real-time. How cute. Hitch dating app lets you connect with friends of friends and locate other singles at locations, events, and happenings in real-time. Hailed as Tinder for blind dates, this app provides an opportunity for people to meet in real-time without the pressure of a formal date. Not only does it do that, but it also lets you put on a pair of wings and play Cupid with friends that are not necessarily part of your immediate social circle. In a world where left swipes dominate, the constant parade of who’s hot and who’s not can be exhausting. Fancy algorithm-based machine learning technologies abound, with endless personality tests that make you want to cringe. Yet are we any closer to finding our match? Hitch is a refreshing anachronism in this burner culture where people no longer want to take the time to get to know somebody. In the boomer generation, most of the time you were introduced to your potential love match through your friends and family. No, not the mothers, no, never the mothers! In that way, one already had a sense of whether this person was a hound-dawg or a stand-up prospect. Hitch gives us an opportunity to meet “introduction” style and get to know each other a bit before profile pics come in. Isn’t it also a novel experience to maybe meet another person at an event or location where your interests intertwine? That being said, we think that location aspect can be used for good or for, well, more shady intentions, but that’s the world in all its polarities. Hitch was founded in May 2014 and it seems to be doing a great job ever since. Anton Gu created Hitch when he was confronted by a common problem in the dating world. He had met a woman who was new to him via a circle of his friends. When his nerve failed him, he failed to get her contact details before she left the party. Desperate to find a way to connect with her without asking his friends to provide her number (how awkward), he came up with the idea of Hitch. He based this app’s name on the iconic movie of the same name, starring Will Smith. He subsequently found love through his own site, when one of his friends matched him up. (Sadly, or happily, this was not the lady who got away previously. Registration is a breeze on Hitch, and this app is free to download for iOS and Android devices. You need a Facebook account for that, which will be linked to your Hitch account. This is less scary than it sounds, as Hitch will not post any information about your membership and activities on its site. You will need to change your friend request settings to “everyone.” Access to the app is strictly by invitation only, via one of your friends, or by a special password that can be found online. This may seem annoying, but it pays dividends in the long run. This is to ensure that all those baddies, like scammers with fake profiles, have a hard time getting onto this site. You can then select a profile picture that your friends on site will see, but not people outside your chosen circle. Here you get to let people know who you are and where your interests lie in a short bio. Simple as that. It’s really novel and kind of retro that Hitch has brought matches down to their primary component in a rather organic way. With Hitch, you can try your hand at boomer-style matching, where someone you knew introduces you to someone else. If, of course, they think that setup would really suit you. After all, there is no generic personality test or computer-driven algorithm that knows you better than your friends. There are no annoying search filters to apply to build some kind of virtual avatar of your likes – a 21-year-old blue-eyed, 6ft 3inch, Caucasian, athletic, blonde-haired Adonis who doesn’t smoke and blah blah blah. You also don’t have to wait for some fancy virtual concierge wearing a cloche to deliver you one match a day on a silver tray. Hitch allows you to match via friends on the app, or search your location for members nearby. This is not the kind of Fling.com location set up; it can be used during events, gatherings, or other common interest locations. You can either search for matches via friend suggestion or use location to engage with other Hitch members in your area. Hitch tries to involve its members in mutual areas of interest and provides a choice of topics that you may find interesting. The “meet” suggestion can be sent to a friend who will then be able to communicate with people that you have chosen for him/her. The “Discover” feature allows you to check in a location and meet other users checking into the same place in real-time. So, if you are at a bar, a party, or a gallery opening, you can check-in and find people right where you are. If you like the look of someone nearby, you can like them, and if you are both on the same page, you meet. In order to use your location to check-in, you will be presented with a choice of places near the spot to which you are heading. This is strictly 500 meters from your mobile, and from there, you are presented with potential matches in the same spot as you. Don’t worry if your hangout isn’t on the Hitch list via Google maps. If you are having a bad hair day, you may turn off your discovery feature, and the singles around you won’t catch you out. You can delete your Hitch Dating account under “Apps Settings.” Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on “Delete Account” tab. Hitch is available in 50 countries across the world, with its largest user base hailing from England, Los Angeles, and New York. Although the largest age demographic on Hitch is in the 25 to 35-year-old range, there is some diversity in its user stats. With the flood of dating apps out there, it is a breath of fresh air that you do not have to divulge your race or ethnicity, thanks to the absence of such search filters. Hitch has an open policy to any religious affiliations the user may have. On a comparative price scale, Hitch prices are on the high end of the spectrum. Users can use “Coins” as credits or purchase a premium membership. Coin prices: Premium membership fees: Hitch site itself does not process payment for its services, and users must ascribe to cancelation policies of the store from which their membership was purchased. The fact that Hitch uses your Facebook contacts and that matches are curated by your near and dear, makes this site a much safer option than many other platforms. Facebook and mobile verification make the likelihood of coming across bots or scammers exponentially less. Hitch claims to take all reasonable measures to protect user information and only discloses your profile picture and age to agreed-upon Facebook friends who are members of their site. All other information gathered about users on-site will only be used for measuring the quality of user experience, and so, enhancing their user’s online enjoyment. Due to the geolocation aspect of Hitch app, users must be aware that their whereabouts become public to other users in the same and nearby areas. This site offers safety tips for users, such as always meeting in a crowded place and letting someone know who and where you will be meeting. Standard advice for anyone taking a social media connection into the big bad world. The website is hardly a feat of creative design genius. It has a non-threatening feel, though, a certain naïve friendliness and charm right down to the cheesy little heart icon. The interface is easy to navigate and offers concise descriptions of the site’s aims, whilst directing the user to the app download portal. Hitch is an app that functions via a user’s Facebook account by matching with people suggested by friends. When two people have a mutual like, they are invited to chat minus the profile pictures (which can sometimes result in people making superficial choices.) The matched users can chat about areas of common interest, and if they enjoy their convo, they can reveal themselves and meet. The app also geolocates single friends in various locations for an opportunity to meet casually rather than on a formal date. To be honest, the Android app is uber glitchy. The Hitch site is not available in a mobile version, and one has the choice of Apple or Google Play. The Google Play rating is a unanimous thumbs-down, 2.5 stars out of five. Although there are only 23 posted ratings, they unanimously complain of being unable to do the simplest thing, such as log in. The fact that only 23 users bothered to post a review is indicative of the Hitch app’s real working problems. It seems to have no real marketing promotion online or otherwise. They say it’s available from the App Store and iTunes, but when we tried and googled a rating, we get nada. This app is like trying to find Cupid’s arrow at an international archery event. Match.com is a great alternative for Hitch because it has an 8 million strong user-base and a reputation built up over 20 years. They even give a guarantee that you will find your match within six months or they will fund your next six months on the site. EHarmony is another alternative that also matches singles in a more serious type of relationship. Their user-base has millions of subscribers and prides itself on its scientifically based matchmaking models that have resulted in 600,000 marriages worldwide. EliteSingles is a top-notch site for professionals looking for their other half. Their reputation and focus on quality matches ensure that people get the best chances of meeting up with compatible, long-term potential partners. Hitch dating app sounds so great on paper. Its retro style “with a little help from my friends” type of date setups is novel and quaint in these “sex-positive, lets meet and bang” times. Anton Gu, the founder, asks why we don’t accept partner suggestions from our friends when we are happy to choose movies, books, and music when proffered? In the days before the Internet, before personals became ubiquitous on a printed copy. Most lasting relationships were curated, in a sense, by close friends and family. It begs the question if perhaps all these scientific algorithm-based, machine-learning matchmaking tools are pushing us away from our real matches and not toward them? We are incessantly bombarded with sexualized images where we only engage with a person based on how hot they look in their photoshopped and airbrushed images. The swipe culture has all but buried the possibility of getting to know someone before you do a Queen of Hearts and swipe “off with his head!” Chatting to someone in a truly blind date style before seeing his/ her face is a great idea but also a little utopian and dreamlike. Just like this whole Hitch site seems to be. Yes, it is a great idea in a happy world where bunnies gambol in the streets, and Cupid wears a mask when he shoots his teeny heart-tipped arrows from his fluffy perch. Hitch seems to have just failed to take off in any substantial way. The whole premise of the success of such a site rests on users’ friends and their friends to be on the app as well. You need numbers, big numbers, to make this arrow fly, and, unfortunately, that is what this app lacks. The site is pretty dreary, and let’s face it, their dramatic claims to be the “The first dating app to allow singles to check in to locations to find other singles to connect with!” is a bit suspect. Couldn’t we just check in on Facebook to a place or event, and won’t our friends already know? Why do we need to sacrifice our personal information to an app that does pretty much the same thing? Though the Hitch app is quaint, and we love the idea, it just seems to act as an extension of Facebook and does not really deliver on anything we can’t find for ourselves. Or find somewhere else, for that matter, on another site with a decent local user-base to work with.

Ar theastaigh uait riamh na laethanta fada ó shin sin ina gcuirfeadh do chol ceathrar aithne ar a chara uamhnach agus a mbeadh na sparáin ag eitilt, stíl na sean-scoile? Má aimsíonn tú go bhfuil na haipeanna dátaithe is mó a bhfuil tóir orthu beagáinín scanrúil agus fraught le strainséirí réidh chun dick-pic a sheoladh chugat ag “Dia duit,” ansin is é seo an suíomh duitse. Ligeann Hitch duit beirt de do chairde Facebook a bhunú ar féidir leo comhrá gan ainm a thosú. Má tá nasc ann, is féidir leis an mbeirt ceangal i bhfíor-am. Cé chomh gleoite. Ligeann aip dhátú Hitch duit ceangal a dhéanamh le cairde cairde agus singles eile a aimsiú ag láithreacha, imeachtaí agus imeachtaí i bhfíor-am. Ar a dtugtar Tinder do dhátaí dall, tugann an aip seo deis do dhaoine bualadh le chéile i bhfíor-am gan brú ar dháta foirmiúil. Ní amháin go ndéanann sé sin, ach ligeann sé duit péire sciathán a chur ort agus Cupid a imirt le cairde nach gá gur cuid de do chiorcal sóisialta láithreach iad. I ndomhan ina bhfuil smacht mór ag swipes ar chlé, is féidir leis an bparáid leanúnach cé atá te agus cé nach bhfuil a bheith tuirsiúil. Tá go leor teicneolaíochtaí foghlama meaisín bunaithe ar algartam, le tástálacha pearsantachta gan deireadh a fhágann gur mhaith leat cringe. Ach an bhfuil muid níos gaire dár gcluiche a aimsiú? Is anachronism athnuachana é Hitch sa chultúr dóire seo nach dteastaíonn ó dhaoine a thuilleadh ama a thógáil chun aithne a chur ar dhuine. Sa ghlúin boomer, an chuid is mó den am a tugadh isteach duit do chluiche grá ionchasach trí do chairde agus do mhuintir. Ní hea, ní na máithreacha, ní hea, na máithreacha riamh! Ar an mbealach sin, bhí tuiscint ag duine cheana féin an raibh an duine seo ina chon-ionchas nó ina ionchas seasaimh. Tugann Hitch deis dúinn bualadh le stíl “réamhrá” agus aithne a chur ar a chéile beagán sula dtagann pics phróifíle isteach. Nach eispéireas úrscéal é freisin bualadh le duine eile ag ócáid nó áit a bhfuil do leasanna fite fuaite ina chéile? É sin ráite, is dóigh linn gur féidir an ghné suímh sin a úsáid le haghaidh dea-intinn nó chun, go maith, níos scáthúla, ach sin an domhan ina pholaireachtaí go léir. Bunaíodh Hitch i mBealtaine 2014 agus is cosúil go bhfuil sé ag déanamh sár-jab ó shin. Chruthaigh Anton Gu Hitch nuair a chuaigh fadhb choitianta i ndomhan an dhátú os a chomhair. Bhuail sé le bean a bhí nua dó trí chiorcal dá chairde. Nuair a theip ar a néaróg, theip air a sonraí teagmhála a fháil sular fhág sí an chóisir. Agus é ag iarraidh bealach a fháil chun nasc a dhéanamh léi gan iarraidh ar a chairde a huimhir a sholáthar (cé chomh seafóideach), tháinig sé ar smaoineamh Hitch. Bhunaigh sé ainm an aip seo ar an scannán íocónach den ainm céanna, agus Will Smith mar réalta air. Ina dhiaidh sin fuair sé grá trína shuíomh féin, nuair a mheaitseáil duine dá chairde leis. (Faraor, nó go sona sásta, níorbh í seo an bhean a d’éalaigh roimhe seo. Is mór an clárú ar Hitch, agus tá an aip seo saor in aisce le híoslódáil le haghaidh feistí iOS agus Android. Teastaíonn cuntas Facebook uait le haghaidh sin, a bheidh nasctha le do chuntas Hitch. Tá sé seo níos lú scanrúil ná mar a fhuaimeann sé, mar ní chuirfidh Hitch aon fhaisnéis faoi do bhallraíocht agus do ghníomhaíochtaí ar a láithreán. Beidh ort socruithe do iarratais ar chara a athrú go “gach duine.” Is trí chuireadh amháin a dhéantar rochtain ar an aip go docht, trí cheann de do chairde, nó trí phasfhocal speisialta atá le fáil ar líne. D’fhéadfadh sé seo a bheith annoying, ach íocann sé díbhinní san fhadtréimhse. Déantar é seo chun a chinntiú go mbíonn sé deacair ag na baddies sin go léir, cosúil le scammers le próifílí bréige, dul ar an suíomh seo. Ansin is féidir leat pictiúr próifíle a roghnú a fheicfidh do chairde ar an láithreán, ach ní daoine lasmuigh den chiorcal roghnaithe tú. Anseo gheobhaidh tú in iúl do dhaoine cé tú féin agus cá bhfuil do leasanna i mbeagán ama. Simplí mar sin. Is úrscéal agus cineál retro é i ndáiríre gur thug Hitch cluichí síos dá bpríomhchuid ar bhealach sách orgánach. Le Hitch, is féidir leat triail a bhaint as meaitseáil i stíl boomer, áit a dtugann duine a raibh aithne agat air tú isteach do dhuine eile. Más dóigh leo, ar ndóigh, go n-oirfeadh an socrú sin duit i ndáiríre. Tar éis an tsaoil, níl aon tástáil pearsantachta cineálach ná algartam ríomhaire-tiomáinte ann a bhfuil aithne níos fearr agat air ná do chairde. Níl aon scagairí cuardaigh annoying le cur i bhfeidhm chun avatar fíorúil de chineál éigin a thógáil de do chuid – Adonis gorm-eyed, 6ft 3inch, Caucasian, lúthchleasaíochta, blonde nach bhfuil ag caitheamh tobac agus blah blah blah. Ní gá duit fanacht chomh maith le concierge fíorúil mhaisiúil ag caitheamh cloche chun cluiche amháin in aghaidh an lae a sheachadadh duit ar thráidire airgid. Ligeann Hitch duit meaitseáil trí chairde ar an aip, nó do shuíomh a chuardach le haghaidh baill in aice láimhe. Ní hé seo an cineál suíomh Fling.com a cuireadh ar bun; is féidir é a úsáid le linn imeachtaí, cruinnithe, nó áiteanna comhleasa eile. Féadfaidh tú cluichí a chuardach trí mholadh ó chara nó suíomh a úsáid chun teagmháil a dhéanamh le baill eile Hitch i do cheantar. Déanann Hitch iarracht a chuid ball a thabhairt isteach i réimsí comhleasa leasa agus soláthraíonn sé rogha ábhar a d’fhéadfadh a bheith suimiúil duit. Is féidir an moladh “freastal” a sheoladh chuig cara a bheidh in ann cumarsáid a dhéanamh le daoine a roghnaigh tú dó / di. Ligeann an ghné “Discover” duit seiceáil i suíomh agus bualadh le húsáideoirí eile atá ag seiceáil isteach san áit chéanna i bhfíor-am. Mar sin, má tá tú ag beár, ag cóisir, nó ag oscailt gailearaí, is féidir leat seiceáil isteach agus daoine a aimsiú i gceart san áit a bhfuil tú. Más maith leat cuma duine in aice láimhe, is féidir leat iad a thaitin, agus má tá tú beirt ar an leathanach céanna, buaileann tú leis. D’fhonn d’áit a úsáid chun seiceáil isteach, cuirfear rogha áiteanna in aice leat ar an láthair a bhfuil tú ag dul dó. Tá sé seo díreach 500 méadar ó d’fhón póca, agus uaidh sin amach, tugtar cluichí féideartha duit san áit chéanna leatsa. Ná bíodh imní ort mura bhfuil do hangout ar liosta Hitch trí léarscáileanna Google. Má tá drochlá gruaige agat, féadfaidh tú do ghné fionnachtana a mhúchadh, agus ní ghabhfaidh na singles timpeall ort tú amach. Is féidir leat do chuntas Hitch Dating a scriosadh faoi “Socruithe Apps.” Scrollaigh síos go bun an leathanaigh agus cliceáil ar cluaisín “Delete Account”. Tá Hitch ar fáil i 50 tír ar fud an domhain, agus is as Sasana, Los Angeles agus Nua Eabhrac a bhunachar úsáideoirí is mó. Cé go bhfuil an déimeagrafach aoise is mó ar Hitch sa raon 25 go 35 bliain d’aois, tá roinnt éagsúlachta ina stats úsáideora. Leis an tuile aipeanna a dhátú amuigh ansin, tá anáil an aeir úr ann nach gá duit do chine nó eitneachas a nochtadh, a bhuíochas mura bhfuil a leithéid de scagairí cuardaigh ann. Tá beartas oscailte ag Hitch maidir le haon chleamhnachtaí reiligiúnacha a d’fhéadfadh a bheith ag an úsáideoir. Ar scála praghsanna comparáideach, tá praghsanna Hitch ar cheann ard an speictrim. Is féidir le húsáideoirí “Boinn” a úsáid mar chreidmheasanna nó ballraíocht phréimhe a cheannach. Praghsanna boinn : Táillí ballraíochta préimhe : Ní phróiseálann láithreán Hitch féin íocaíocht as a sheirbhísí, agus ní mór d’úsáideoirí cloí le beartais cealaithe an stóir as ar ceannaíodh a mballraíocht. De bharr go n-úsáideann Hitch do theagmhálacha Facebook agus go bhfuil cluichí á gcoimeád ag do ghaolta, is rogha i bhfad níos sábháilte é an suíomh seo ná go leor ardáin eile. De bharr Facebook agus fíorú soghluaiste tá an chosúlacht ann go dtiocfaidh bots nó scammers níos lú go heaspónantúil. Éilíonn Hitch go ndéanfaidh sé gach beart réasúnach chun faisnéis úsáideora a chosaint agus ní nochtann sé ach do phictiúr próifíle agus d’aois do chairde aontaithe Facebook atá ina mbaill dá suíomh. Ní úsáidfear gach faisnéis eile a bhaileofar faoi úsáideoirí ar an láthair ach amháin chun cáilíocht eispéireas an úsáideora a thomhas, agus mar sin, chun taitneamh ar líne a n-úsáideora a fheabhsú. Mar gheall ar ghné geolocation an aip Hitch, ní mór d’úsáideoirí a bheith ar an eolas go n-éiríonn a n-áit go poiblí d’úsáideoirí eile sna ceantair chéanna agus in aice láimhe. Tugann an suíomh seo leideanna sábháilteachta d’úsáideoirí, mar shampla bualadh le chéile i gcónaí in áit plódaithe agus ligean do dhuine a fháil amach cé agus cá háit a mbeidh tú ag bualadh. Comhairle chaighdeánach d’aon duine a ghlacann nasc leis na meáin shóisialta isteach sa drochshaol mór. Is ar éigean a bhaineann an láithreán gréasáin le dearadh cruthaitheach. Tá mothú neamhbhagrach ann, áfach, cairdiúlacht agus seandacht naofa áirithe síos go dtí an deilbhín croí beag cáise. Is furasta nascleanúint a dhéanamh ar an gcomhéadan agus tairgeann sé tuairiscí gonta ar aidhmeanna an láithreáin, agus an t-úsáideoir á threorú chuig tairseach íoslódála an aip. Is aip é Hitch a fheidhmíonn trí chuntas Facebook úsáideora trí mheaitseáil le daoine a mhol cairde. Nuair a bhíonn a chéile ag beirt, tugtar cuireadh dóibh comhrá a dhéanamh lúide na pictiúir phróifíle (agus uaireanta bíonn daoine ag déanamh roghanna superficial.) Is féidir leis na húsáideoirí comhoiriúnaithe comhrá a dhéanamh faoi réimsí leasa choitinn, agus má bhaineann siad taitneamh as a gcuid convo, féadfaidh siad iad féin a nochtadh agus bualadh le chéile. Geallann an aip cairde aonair in áiteanna éagsúla freisin chun deis a fháil bualadh le chéile seachas ar dháta foirmiúil. Le bheith ionraic, tá an aip Android uber glitchy. Níl suíomh Hitch ar fáil i leagan soghluaiste, agus tá rogha Apple nó Google Play ag duine acu. Is é atá i rátáil Google Play ná moladh d’aon toil, 2.5 réalta as gach cúigear. Cé nach bhfuil ach 23 rátáil sa phost, gearánann siad d’aon toil nach bhfuil siad in ann an rud is simplí a dhéanamh, mar shampla logáil isteach. Is léiriú ar fhíorfhadhbanna oibre an aip Hitch nach ndearna ach 23 úsáideoir bothered chun athbhreithniú a phostáil. Dealraíonn sé nach bhfuil aon chur chun cinn margaíochta dáiríre aige ar líne nó eile. Deir siad go bhfuil sé ar fáil ón App Store agus iTunes, ach nuair a rinneamar triail agus rátáil googled, faighimid nada. Tá an aip seo cosúil le hiarracht a dhéanamh saighead Cupid a fháil ag ócáid idirnáisiúnta boghdóireachta. Is rogha iontach eile é Match.com do Hitch toisc go bhfuil bonn úsáideora láidir 8 milliún aige agus cáil bainte amach aige thar 20 bliain. Tugann siad ráthaíocht fiú go bhfaighidh tú do chluiche laistigh de shé mhí nó go maoineoidh siad do chéad sé mhí eile ar an láithreán. Is rogha eile é EHarmony a mheaitseálann singles i gcineál caidrimh níos tromchúisí freisin. Tá na milliúin síntiúsóirí ag a mbonn úsáideora agus tá siad bródúil as a samhlacha meaitseála atá bunaithe go heolaíoch agus a bhfuil 600,000 pósadh mar thoradh orthu ar fud an domhain. Suíomh den scoth é EliteSingles do ghairmithe atá ag lorg a leath eile. Cinntíonn a gcáil agus a bhfócas ar chluichí ardchaighdeáin go bhfaigheann daoine na deiseanna is fearr chun bualadh le comhpháirtithe ionchasacha comhoiriúnacha fadtéarmacha. Fuaimeann aip dhátú Hitch chomh mór sin ar pháipéar. Tá a stíl retro “le beagán cabhrach ó mo chairde” cineál dáta socraithe núíosach agus quaint sna hamanna “gnéas-dearfach, ligeann bualadh le chéile agus Bang. Fiafraíonn Anton Gu, an bunaitheoir, cén fáth nach nglacaimid le moltaí comhpháirtíochta ónár gcairde nuair a bhíonn áthas orainn scannáin, leabhair agus ceol a roghnú nuair a chuirtear ar fáil iad? Sna laethanta roimh an Idirlíon, sular tháinig daoine pearsanta uileláithreach ar chóip chlóite. Coimeádadh an chuid is mó de na caidrimh bhuana, ar bhealach, ag dlúthchairde agus teaghlach. Cuireann sé an cheist an bhfuil na huirlisí meaitseála eolaíochta meaisín-bhunaithe eolaíocha seo go léir ag brú orainn ónár bhfíorchluichí agus ní i dtreo iad? Déantar íomhánna gnéasaithe a mhaíomh dúinn gan staonadh nuair nach ndéanaimid teagmháil ach le duine bunaithe ar cé chomh te a bhreathnaíonn siad ina n-íomhánna fótachóipeáilte agus brúite aeir. Tá an cultúr swipe tar éis an fhéidearthacht aithne a chur ar dhuine sula ndéanann tú Banríon na gCroí agus swipe “as a ceann!” Is iontach an rud é comhrá a dhéanamh le duine i stíl dáta atá fíor dall sula bhfeicfidh sé / sí a aghaidh ach rud beag utópach agus brionglóideach freisin. Is cosúil go bhfuil an suíomh Hitch iomlán seo. Sea, is iontach an smaoineamh é i ndomhan sona ina ndéanann bunnies gambol ar na sráideanna, agus caitheann Cupid masc nuair a scaoil sé a shaigheada déagóirí croí-théada as a phéirse clúmhach. Dealraíonn sé gur theip ar Hitch éirí de thalamh ar bhealach substaintiúil ar bith. Is é cairde an úsáideora agus a gcairde a bheith ar an aip freisin an bunús iomlán a bhaineann le rath a leithéid de shuíomh. Teastaíonn uimhreacha, uimhreacha móra, uait chun an tsaighead seo a eitilt, agus, ar an drochuair, is é sin atá in easnamh ar an aip seo. Tá an suíomh go leor brionglóideach, agus déanaimis aghaidh air, a n-éilimh dhrámatúla gurb é an “An chéad aip dhátú chun ligean do dhaoine singil seiceáil isteach in áiteanna chun singles eile a aimsiú le nascadh leo!” rud beag amhrasach. Níorbh fhéidir linn seiceáil isteach ar Facebook chuig áit nó imeacht, agus nach mbeidh a fhios ag ár gcairde cheana féin? Cén fáth a gcaithfimid ár gcuid faisnéise pearsanta a íobairt ar aip a dhéanann an rud céanna go mór mór? Cé go bhfuil aip Hitch quaint, agus is breá linn an smaoineamh, is cosúil nach bhfuil ann ach síneadh ar Facebook agus ní sheachadann sé i ndáiríre aon rud nach féidir linn a fháil dúinn féin. Nó faigh áit éigin eile, ar an ábhar sin, ar shuíomh eile a bhfuil bonn úsáideora áitiúil réasúnta aige le bheith ag obair leis.
