I’m always afraid to recommend it because I’ve never heard anyone talk about it- but I would recommend Station Eleven. Its post-apocalyptic after a covid-like disease. But unlike every other apocalyptic media it has so much love for people. It has some very sad moments but it’s so wholesome. And I loved their little traveling commune.
Think it’s the only movie I’ve ever seen whose message is essentially - violence in the hands of the poor can be used to justly end oppression by the wealthy. Nobody got slapped down by karma for using violence. Multiple communities helped him to do violence without us being made to feel mixed about those communities or about that violence. No, the violence from the very beginning is explicitly justified and your are only made to feel even more on his side as the movie goes on.
And then just the cinematography and general quality of the movie was incredible. Absolutely loved it

For women on dating apps there is a huge amount of risk to their safety tied to any match. So if the vibes aren’t immaculate or the vibes are good but the person is just pretty cute then it might not be worth the risk.
For men seeking women there is a question of whether the match will be a disspointment or a waste of money. But for women it’s am I going to die. So of course only a tiny percent of men on effectively anonymous dating apps pass the vibes and initial attraction tests to be worth that risk.
