Some young men feel defeated and sometimes leave the platforms that don't serve them. Online dating platforms serve to women a heaping platter from which they can choose (happy thanksgiving), the issue arises for them in seeking commitment from men who have options and are not willing to commit.
Keeping in mind that 'piece' is citing anecdotal reports from Redditors which by in large tend to be introverted pseudo intellectuals who congregate in a hive mind. Most are bitter and unsuccessful in dating and romance. They would rather blame the systems (in more ways than one) than actively make changes conducive to improving their situation. OLD can be horrible for men, best thing young guys can do is accept the state of things, adapt (or don't) and make the best of it and get what's theirs. If their situation is poor, then change it. Make more money, get in shape, work on your social skills, f***ing move if you feel the need to, or don't and drop out all together... Regardless, no one wants to hear them whine like Redditors do.
Also, Tinder in 2022:
- Tinder made $1.79 billion revenue in 2022, an 8% increase on the year prior
- It had 75 million monthly active users and 10.9 million subscribers in 2022
- 60% of Tinder’s users are under 35 years old
- Three quarters of Tinder’s users are male
If the juice ain't worth the squeeze for them then there will be more to drink for the Men who actually engage in the dating market and are successful. I don't blame men for dropping out, but pity them since they often equate their chances of getting laid/relationships with their lack of success on OLD.
