It does not sound like the same thing and sounds like apples and oranges. I remember back in 2005 you had this Payton Kane, Seduce & Conquor, and he was a dating guru, and even back then, this guru as well as the prevailing thought was that internet dating for men simply doesn't work. The question that I really don't get is how or why do you think men are more successful at online dating than 2005 or any year around then? I personally started online dating, in earnest in 2006 and quit around 2016. From what I see here it doesn't look like any guy trying out online dating are happy campers and women simply go for Chads/Chadlites.No, it is like people using online job search instead of going in person to drop their resumes. and just like hiring managers no longer read all the resume but use keyword filters to weed out the unqualified. same thing women doing to filter men, they are quickly to judge the man by little indicators they notice without giving him a chance.
So, it goes back to my analogy, if less people are using online job searches because nobody is hiring them and they got tired then that could bring the unemployment rate down because less people are going online, but it doesn't mean they found a full-time job and are working. Some people may be underemployed, be underpaid, or find a really crappy job. Your own analogy portrays women as the ones who are hiring, not men. Even in the parameters of your analogy the one who is doing the hiring is successful at online dating, not the one who is presenting themselves to be hired.
Right, so that means more people are becoming MTGOW monk-mode, incel or fapping to porn or doing something else rather than approaching. You can't translate that to more people using online dating. Even when PUA was on its hayday, if given a choice between approaches and going online, people would choose to go online. PUA gets traction because online doesn't work for guys. If both options do not work then nothing happens and you have these protest groups in the manosphere.evan12 said:Their mass approaching tactics brought some negative attention to them, now any guy hitting on girls in malls especially in Toronto, the security will warn him to leave as they think he is doing mass approaching. Some malls even threaten to call police on any PUA activity.
