Read the entire comment you are responding to.

I did, and I strongly disagree that online dating is a market for lemons.

Your friends got snapped up leaving the lemons behind

they didn't specify if it they were "snapped up" (presuming this means rapidly) , or if it was a "grind"

Assuming it's a man and woman, and average experiences the guy likely went through 100s-1000s of profiles to match with her, and she likely in the high 10s to low 100s.

You're not supposed to make comments like this on here because usually what ends up happening is that they did read the full comment and that you disagree with their interpretation of it, but then the discourse grinds to a halt because the discussion becomes about reading.

The reason you disagree FWIW is that you believes 'snapped up quickly' means near-instantaneous, whereas they see it as more of 'with the right strategy you can be the snapper'
