Romantic matching while kinky, short, Saudi, or Chinese

 Here are some dating and matrimony stories that have recently caught my eye

 The Guardian has the story of tourists wandering into the ethical monogamy site Feeld:

Unconventional dating app Feeld reports surge in ‘vanilla tourists’. User base has grown by 30% year on year since 2022, raising questions of how to integrate new and longstanding members   by Rachel Hall

 

Here's the short story:

Here's a Saudi app (HT: Michele Petochi), to be used by parents or the daring, from Arab News:

Saudi matchmaking app, Awaser, is helping individuals find partners by bridging tradition and modernity by Afshan Aziz

 "One of the app’s most distinctive features is the ability for families to create and manage accounts on behalf of their children, a model that preserves the essence of traditional matchmaking while increasing the chances of finding a suitable match."

 

Here's the Economist on bride price inflation in China:

Bride prices are surging in China  Why is the government struggling to curb them?

Good luck to all, and be careful out there.
