Find love in a lonely world: Ari’s AI solution to the Valentine’s Day dilemma

NEW YORK, February 14, 2025 - As millions face another lonely Valentine's Day, Silicon Valley's dating platforms have engineered an unprecedented crisis of connection. For the average man, landing a single match requires enduring 111 rejections, with success heavily skewed: 10% of men capture 90% of all matches, while the bottom half receive 1% of matches. This systematic exclusion has become so severe that in 2023, the U.S. Surgeon General declared loneliness an epidemic, with 63% of men now single.
