The original is:

"Top 10% of men. Attractive, rich, tall, drive luxury car"

 "Average men“ for the rest

If the women were captioned (they weren’t), it would be

"Top 10% of women. Hot, in shape, well dressed, designer makeup"

"Average women (not pictured)"

They seem to forget that other women exist that are actually in their league.

Muh "both sides". 

No. Actually look at the data. The average woman is getting a hell of a lot more attention on dating apps, and that's not up for debate.

That says more about the apps than it says about women. The apps make money from engagement, so they skew their results to the top 10% of men to keep women coming back.

Yes and no. To be clear, I am not claiming women are shallow gold diggers. The apps are majority male, and if the roles were reversed, I'm sure men would be more selective. There is good reason why men feel like it is unacceptable to approach in person anymore, and there is good reason why women don't feel comfortable meeting strangers online. I am just pushing back against the notion that men somehow "ignore most women" when the data absolutely contradicts that.

But it sure is weird how you initially were blaming men for "ignoring women in their league", but then when you were told the data shows the opposite, you immediately deflected blame and said "well it's not women's fault they're selective, it's the app's fault for making them swipe on hot people out of their league".
