 ### Dataset Description
 
 <!-- Provide a longer summary of what this dataset is. -->
+RODD was created to study gender and age-based differences in experiences of online dating fatigue and online dating etiquette as part of my master's thesis @TUM:
+"Online Dating Etiquette: An NLP-based Approach to Online Dating Discourses on Reddit"
+We leveraged NLP-based methods to analyze the submissions both quantitatively and qualitatively, uncovering significant demographic differences in fatigue experiences.
 
-TBA
+The Reddit submissions in this dataset are related to online dating. Further, we show that a large number of submissions show signs of dating fatigue. Thus, the overall tone of the dataset is negative.

+Online daters discuss topics related to online dating and share their negative experiences, give and receive advice, and seek support and orientation online. Many submission authors provide their opinion on existing behavioral rules in online dating.

 ## Dataset Creation
 
 ### Curation Rationale
 
-In order to study online dating fatigue and social norms related to online dating, this dataset was created by scraping Reddit submissions using keywords related to online dating. The keyword set was iteratively refined to ensure high precision in selecting relevant submissions while capturing a broad range of discussions within the online dating discourse. Subreddits were hand-selected for scraping based on two criteria: 1) high activity and member count, indicating general popularity. 2) As indicated in community guidelines, A second group of subreddits was selected based on self-reported specific demographic focus.

 ## Bias, Risks, and Limitations
 
 <!-- This section is meant to convey both technical and sociotechnical limitations. -->
+RODD comprises a large portion of negative Reddit submissions. Self-selection bias leads to a concentration of fatigued online daters from Western societies in \ac{RODD}. Thus, content related to online dating fatigue is more prevalent than in other discourses or demographics. This content is specific to the Reddit online dating discourse.
