This is the dumbest **** ever if you actually believe this is the cause lol.
@SW15 and
@Scars @Stanley The simple answer to this is that these young men are finding that they are not getting the results they were looking for during their time on dating apps. They might have been getting zero matches for sure, but they also could have been getting matches with women they had some interest in. However, they may have found that a lot of these matches never resulted in anything. It literally could have been they get a match but don't get a response, or they get a match and message back and forth but it never leads to actually meeting up in person. IF they did meet in person, there's even a high chance that it didn't even lead to anything beyond a simple/casual first date. Maybe the girl just wasn't that interested in them? Hell, maybe the men themselves even met up with women and decided they weren't interested for any number of reasons lol.
Dating apps are not the best way to go about meeting women that you might be interested in. In my personal opinion, I believe the ideal method to utilize dating apps is to use it as a casual supplement to your dating life without really putting too much thought into it, meaning you are casting a wider net to potentially meet women you'd be interested in that you may not ever cross paths with in the real world. However, I believe the biggest issue is that dating apps are often really the ONLY way some young men are actually trying to connect with women. Most guys are somewhere along a spectrum of average/normal tier, meaning they aren't going to be able to attract massive amounts of attention on a dating app and will be relatively comparable to tons of other men. This means that women are going to swiping through potentially dozens or even hundreds and hundreds of men that are somewhat on the same level. It's literally not possible for them to date them all, so they become even more selective.
Here is an example;
Let's say a woman has relatively normal expectations for men that are honestly reasonable. So, she expects a man to be a few inches taller than she is, 5'4", so 5'9"+ is her expectation. She also is moderately active and healthy/fit, so she expects a man to be at least this level. Outside of things like this, she's probably just looking for an otherwise normal guy that she has some form of personal compatibility with. The thing is, she has 50 matches with men that are honestly within her dating range, so how does she filter them? She'd then probably start by going for the men that were 6'+, much fitter than the others, more attractive, or perhaps those flaunting a better wealth/financial status, etc. Some other outlier variables could be where she has some very unique or unusual preferences, like she really likes guys with long hair, or maybe beards or tattoos. Maybe she likes blonde men or maybe a mixed race guy lol, I could name a million different things.
