It's certainly believable that women don't enjoy dating apps, but I think it's difficult to make the case that it's equally hard for them (in terms of successfully getting a date) when they have thousands of matches and many men I know have none.
Most women don’t want to sleep around and have a large number of partners. But tinder leads them to believe that they can find an unrealistic partner. And they get hurt by the small percentage of men that play the online dating game well.
Women need a lot more data and time to evaluate a potential partner before initiating contact.
Anyway, the disbalance between amount of men and women there is quite large.
He didn't say it was, he said it was preferable to having no matches.
I recall seeing the OkCupid stats once (okstats?). The numbers pretty much said that although women were getting most of the messages, they were all only responding to the same 10% of males, while most men were sending messages to almost all the women.
You've pretty much got 80% of the women competing for the top 10% of the males.
The situation isn't great on either side, but plenty of statistics show it's mostly women having sex off these apps, so clearly there is an actual imbalance.
And you can't write off the sheer hopelessness and isolation that the thought "there's not a single woman out there who would date me" induces in young men. I'm sure it's not fun for women but it is absolutely __brutal__ for many men.
Uh, trust me, white men can easily accumulate zero matches too.
Why invest more time and energy than absolutely necessary?
