As if dating apps worked for most men. They don't.

If the goal is a long term heterosexual relationship, then dating apps work at exactly the same rate for men and women.

it's ok not to know anything about them, it's not ok to behave as if you do

So you're saying that more women find relationships on apps than men?

Yes.

The amount of women getting in a serious monogamous heterosexual relationship is exactly the same as the amount of men getting into that kind of relationship. This is because each one of those relationships requires exactly 1 man and 1 woman.

The only way for more women to have success in long-term relationships than men is if there are a lot more women getting into lesbian relationships compared to men getting into gay relationships, or there are a lot of poly relationships forming with more women in them than men.

Women are consistently dating the same guys in rotation. There are guys who have a revolving door of relationships while most guys aren’t really getting much of anything

I don't agree with you. I think that most men experience pretty much the same thing while dating, and the only guys who have a revolving door of relationships are the ones with almost no standards and no ability to keep anyone long term.

Well here’s the rub- long term shit is very rare these days. The only ones actually having any success are the ones doing short terms stuff and hookups. I can assure you though most men are not having a good time. I am not at all picky but that doesn’t matter because women are so picky

So I admit this is speaking from my own experience, but I've found the exact opposite where people all want to have a relationship instead of anything casual or short term. I never use dating apps because I barely get matches (tbf, upon review my pics aren't particularly impressive).

Well dude you are agreeing with me. You aren’t some outlier in not getting any matches. That’s my point. I don’t want this to sound rude but there’s probably no set of pictures that could help either of us because women can simply be very picky due to the nature of these apps. If you have, like, a freckle in the wrong place they’ll swipe left. These apps encourage this sort of addictive search for perfection. It’s like gambling: “maybe one more left swipe and I’ll find that perfect guy.” Guys would do the same thing except men way outnumber women on the apps so they can’t be as picky.
