I'm from the US, the cradle of the world's feminism movement. So even though there are more women than men in population count, the four waves of feminism (1860's, 1920's, 1970's, and 2000's) made fully acceptable for 80% of women to go for only 20% of men (the alpha males). Which in the end, leaves 60% of men without a romantic partner.
The four waves of feminism produced the following:
1860's: women's suffrage, with Wyoming being the first state to grant it
1920's: personal independence and self-expression, i.e. flappers
1970's: fair workplace treatment rights and breaking of the glass ceiling
2000's: teaching sexual safety from rape by men with ill intentions

So much of this sounds like sour grapes. Insisting that 20% of men "get" 80% of women couldn't possibly be an ego-sparing white lie that men who have zip in the way of luck with women tell themselves? Since it hurts less to think you're in the majority of men-rejected-by-women versus getting-rejected-by-girls-because-you're-doing-something-offputting.

for some of us, just getting born was sufficient to be the off-putting thing. :|

The power of choice is always in favour of the one with the most options. Tinder gives women that power and men can become replaceable options in a saturated competitive market.

Modern online dating can sometimes be a case of being the flavour of the month.

Tinder stats:

Women swipe right 14% on men, while men swipe right 49% on women.


Also look at the bidding part at 16:54:

Tinder is a hook-up app, and as such has nothing to do with LTRs.

Perhaps, but they expect to get hook-ups, not LTRs from it, so that's rather irrelevant.

Of course Aspie lives matter. Autistic lives matter.

There are more of us than meets the eye.

Bollocks. Men AND women use Tinder for dating and/or hookups. I've seen women's profiles on Tinder that state explicitly they're not interested in a hook-up....And I've seen women who are clearly looking for hookups.

Maybe, but then I'd never use dating for anything, and especially not for getting into an LTR. What you are saying means nothing since people date as a game too. A possible desire to date doesn't mean they are serious.

49% of men but only 14% of women call dating a "numbers game".

This thread has destroyed what little momentum I had built up for trying dating again.

I like this thread lol.

You, Quill, could probably get a date with a Scottish lass who likes to be "hen."

Some of them are cute, and smart!
