    All dating apps are misclassified. They should be under contraceptives.

    The same problem on every platform. 80% men and few women who get so picky that most men will never reach their standards.

    I fear for most young men dating is over. And I fear what will happen when societies have large swathes of men with no connection to society, no jobs, no friends, no wives, no families.

      I'm always surprised to hear online that it's so bleak. I know a very wide variety of men in real life who have eventually found someone just fine on dating apps (the people I know who haven't are mostly places with a small dating pool or there's a particular reason women don't like them when they get to know them).
