The reason why dating apps don't work - pitbull510 - 02-21-2024
..boils down to one simple fact. Women match with too many guys.
This is a product of two factors. First, there are more men than women on apps. But even if the ratios weren't lopsided, it wouldn't even begin to solve the problem. The male to female ratio on dating apps is generally accepted to be around 2:1. Logically, you would expect women to get twice as many matches as men. But that's not the case. On average, women on bumble (and the stats for other apps are likely similar) get one match for every two likes, which is a 50% match to like ratio. In contrast, men get one match for every 40 likes, which is a 2.5% match to like ratio. To put it another way, women get 20 times as many likes as men. So even if the male to female ratio on dating apps was 1:1, women would still be receiving 10 times as many matches.
This can only mean one thing: men swipe right way too much and women not nearly enough. This is a vicious cycle. Women can be extremely selective and still get tons of likes. If they didn't get as many likes, they would be less selective. But if things are so biased in favour of women on dating apps, why do they complain about them even more than men do? Setting aside women's natural propensity to complain, it doesn't seem like dating apps work for them either. Why? Because they get overwhelmed. Women get too many matches, which leads to them putting little effort into each interaction, which in turn leads to shallow, rudimentary conversations that quickly die down and don't lead to a first date.
It would seem that the obvious solution is to drastically reduce the number of matches one can get in a day. Say a maximum of one. This would force people to engage with their matches, as you are not going to get another match for 24 hrs. However, this would run contrary to the dating apps' business model of trying to force men to buy more swipes (and it's safe to assume that nearly all paying members are men). In other words, the dating apps' business model makes them to be ineffective by design.
Yes, but the women see 90%-99% of those guys in the same manner as dog shvt. Dating apps hit their peak years ago. As I said before, scammers, validation seekers, AI, fake profiles, single moms and ducks ruined the market.
My little sister opened a dating app account and 1½ hour later she already had 2500ish like swipes from horny dudes with having done nothing basically or anything special to her account profile. Its totally mental. Hoeflation is a real thing with all these chicks getting their ego's inflated to the skies even though they are not very good looking, but average or worse.
The best quality girls are not on the apps anyway so if you want something meaningful with someone worth it, IRL is the only way.

I feel like social media and dating apps have made us more lonely and detached than ever before.
