Women who need to resort to dating apps are usually undesireable. Hot women don't need it to meet men. If they're on it, they're usually just there for the validation and don't intend on dating anyone they meet thru it, or they have other problems like being a single mom.
Swipe apps are mostly crap. I've only met two women via those apps that were worth a damn and actually looked like their pics. The rest were a waste of time to talk to or date.
I was able to get dates with semi-desirable women on swipe apps. I was getting dates with 25-35 year old women whose looks I typically rated between 5.5 - 7. They were all childless women and mostly never married. There were many times I wanted a 2nd date but the woman flaked likely because she had an overinflated sense of self from having hundreds of options on the swipe app. I endured a lot of lost money and emotional trauma over being on swipe apps. I think it is better to do nothing than to be on swipe apps.
The ones who are there for the validation never show up on dates anyway.
I would occassionally see women that I would rate above a 7 on swipe apps but I rarely got a date with someone above a 7 from swipe apps.
Yes, the experience is mostly crap.
Men want to get laid. Women, obviously (and despite what feminists will tell you) are significantly less interested in sex. This creates an imbalance, which leads to a vicious cycle of women making less and less effort whilst men make more and more.
I applaud high sex drive women.
If solely the biological/chemical factors are considered, men want sex more than women. A low T guy has more T than even a high T woman. A guy with a good T reading is horny 24/7. A woman not on birth control might be able to get to 80% of that level for a few days a month near ovulation. Most women under 40 are on birth control so they aren't even replicating this.
Generally speaking, women have a totally passive strategy. Their game is limited to going out and doing whatever they wanted to do anyway, and either accepting or declining the offers they get. Of course, they can sway the odds by going to certain types of places (e.g. expensive places where rich men hang out). It's not as if they have to pay to get in or buy drinks for themselves most of the time, anyway.
Men, on the other hand, have to spend enormous amounts of time and energy to get laid. They have to compete with all of the other guys, put their reputation on the line by being the one to make a move (otherwise they'll get nothing), deal with women that are just out to use them and waste their time, etc.
This is all accurate. I have noticed within the last 10 years that women have gotten quite passive. I think dating websites and swipe apps made them more passive than they were in the past. Women who use swipe apps to get dates give off an aura of being apathetic. This will be evident on first dates. A woman who meets a man through her social circle will be much more into the interaction than a woman meeting a man from a swipe app. Cold approach can go either way but even those women are usually more into it than swipe app women. Swipe app women have hundreds of options. You're just another swinging penis in an ocean of penii for a woman using swipe apps. Now, if the woman is a swipe app user but you meet her through a cold approach, you might get a better experience. No woman gets cold approached as much as she gets right swiped on while using apps and receives messages on the apps. This also doesn't take into consideration the horn dog messages she receives in her DMs on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn.
I think women would have better outcomes if they went to more in-person events than just using swipe apps/social media. In 1990, a single woman in a larger metropolitan area had to go to bars, work on building her social circle/work her existing social circle contacts, and go to another in-person events to generate 10 prospects a month. Now, she sits on swipe apps and social media and has 300-500 prospects per month. A woman is going to present a different demeanor with 300-500 prospects a month.
So it would seem like a dating app like Tinder would solve all of men's problems. Unfortunately, the reality is that it just makes things worse. It seems to create some sort of feedback loop where women become even more entitled and arrogant and men become increasingly desperate - the end result is that men swipe right on everyone without even looking hoping to get a match, whilst women (even the horrendously ugly ones) swipe right on 0.5%. And the 0.5% are all the same small group of guys. Then the women get pissed of that these guys don't respond to them and that men don't read through hundreds of boring, low-effort and arrogant profiles that probably won't match anyway before swiping on them.
Then women go back to their totally passive strategy of just basically doing nothing and just accepting or rejecting men that approach them in real life.
In-person approaching is difficult, regardless of how strong your T levels are. Websites and later swipe apps were a response to how difficulties typically encountered in the bar scene. Websites and swipe apps did make it worse.
