This has been discussed before, but this guy sums it up nicely.

Men will pretty much bang anything that moves. That's playing itself out on the dating apps with the top 10% men.

Why the hell would anyone date online?

Geez, this country is friggin' lazy.


Just go out and find a real girl to throw game at. Or a guy, if you're a LOLgay ().

The internet, and smartphones, have proven to be a net negative to humanity. So many lazyasses. Even to get some strange.

Well, it has been predicted that by 2040, over 40% of women will be single.

90% of women want the top 10% of men, even the ugly women think the deserve a top 10% guy.

Women are absolutely screwed going forward. Wait til Elon or some other company makes a robot designed for sex.

I don't see how the current and future generations don't completely embrace the new AI geared toward this.

The courts have systematically screwed men in divorces, child support, child custody in favor of women.

The juice ain't worth the squeeze anymore "so to speak". High risk, little reward nowadays.

I'm so glad I grew up before all this social media BS took over.

I fear for my great grandchildren (if I ever have any).

skill issue. as a man the onus is on you to become the kind of person a woman wants to date. that means you gotta drop the gaming and gambling addictions, take care of business in your career, and keep yourself and your home hygienic. i've never met a man who met all of those criteria and still had issues dating.

I met my second (current) wife online 19 years ago...we've been married 18 years. Mebbe the market has changed, but it was good for me. I guess it depends for what both of you are looking...

"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." - Sir Winston Churchill

I'm in the same boat. Wife and I have been together 18 years after meeting online. I don't think things have changed much. It's a numbers game for the men. I was seeing about 5% response rate and about half of those that did were dtf right away. One that wasn't is now my wife.

Of course online dating is a disaster for men. Here is a secret it is bad for women to. Can it work, yes but very rarely.

Historically people have found their spouse through mutual family friends or mutual friends. There are many advantages to dating in the environment of family / friendship. That isn't an option today because people 1. Don't live near families. And 2. Men don't have friends. Or friends that would be friends with women that would be worth dating / marrying.

Any guy that can't find a woman and isn't in a female "desert" likely is lacking skills he should develop.

I don't disagree with much of what the guy in the OP said except I reject the implication "nationalistic content" is something to be worried about akin with blatant misogynism.

With that caveat, he is right about how dating apps work today. They've progressively gotten worse since their inception. I met my wife on a dating app 7 years ago and don't envy people I know still on them.

In addition to the facts stated by the OP, these apps are also flooded with bots, outsourced people impersonating a hot person to generate money for OnlyFans or Snapchat subscriptions, people promoting their YouTube channel, and of course pron.

So how many of the swipes today are even real people?

Yeah, I thought women were crazy before I tried online dating (25+ years ago). Then I discovered what crazy really was. I even stopped dating for a while until I could convince myself that there was someone out there sane enough to have a relationship with. Met my wife at work and have no regrets about the traditional dating approach 22 years later.

This is the thinking of somebody who is like 70 years old and completely out of touch with the online dating/hookup scene. In most cases, these women don't even know what careers these guys have, whether they play video games, whether they have gambling addictions, or whether their homes are hygienic.

The 10% of men out there who are hooking up with 90% of the women online are just exchanging photos, texting for a few hours or few days, and then meeting for drinks and hooking up. It's based purely on physical appearance, possibly combined with income/wealth if the woman can easily verify it.

There is not even an opportunity in the online world to prove your worth by having a good career, being a good and/or interesting person, having a nice home, and demonstrating a track record of being responsible.

Hollywood, social media, and leaving the church has done a big number on so many women. Many basically think life is a movie and will/should play out as such.

There are no issues with online dating platforms other than their inability to completely eliminate spam/bots.

It should be called online date scheduling. Its up people to determine everything in person outside the app.

It's a numbers game online just like in person. Good looking women are always gonna have more options. There are tons of other women online who have just as much trouble as men at landing decent dates.

I actually met my wife through an online dating site, but that was 16 years ago before swiping existed. Same for my pastor.

I had my own fair share of dates before we met. As many as I could reasonably afford to pay for. So I don't think online dating has always been that way. I think the apps have ruined it.

18 years ago was 2007. Tinder didn't even come out until late 2012. Bumble didn't come out until late 2014. Your experience with online dating 18 years ago is not even remotely relevant.
