    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.

      So get out and talk to the lady at the bar? Didn't work out either for you? The problem isn't about too many man on dating apps.. it's about men believing society owns them a woman.

        Nobody goes to bars and approaching women in public has been labelled creepy behaviour.

        I’m so glad I’m not single. It’s worse than the job market.

          > Nobody goes to bars

          Where do you live? Because I've never, ever lived anywhere that this was true. I go to bars. They're always busy, unless it's a shit bar on a Tuesday night or whatever.
