($1,193,300-$2,465,600) isn't much higher than the average semester's tuition

Could it perhaps be said that we live in a society?

I have always found apps to be terrible for hookups. Hooking up is based on unspoken charisma, animal magnetism, body language...call it what you want but it doesn't come across from 5 pictures and 3 sentences. On the other hand if you're looking for someone "good on paper" well, apps are the paper. I have had a few relationships from apps but only a handful of hookups in the last decade. Met dozens of women at parties, through friends, through activities, or through shared interests in the same time period so I don't think it's just me that my Tinder conversations never go anywhere.

Not OP, do work in a wine store. "Opening up" is when wines gain more complex flavor. They way I would describe it is that the very noticeable primary flavors fade a little bit and the secondary, more subtle flavors come out more. This process happens due to exposure to oxygen among other things. Exposure to oxygen can also eventually make a wine go bad (it gets "oxidized" in a process that's actually similar to iron rusting.) Better wine will gain more flavor balance and complexity from being open for a day or two, while worse wine will simply go bad. Of course that's not universally true and different grape will react to being left open in different ways. Nevertheless it's impressive when a $10 wine exhibits these qualities.
