IMO online dating worked a lot better when it was stigmatised or at least not mainstream. Sure the quality was lower but for men as well as women and there wasn't the same online dating hook up culture so most women were looking for relationships and wary of players and while pickier than the average woman were not completely delusional so if you were above average looking you could do quite well if you
were able to display a bit of wit and charm and banter in your messages.

Gen Z has no testosterone so they don't even care if they have sex or not. Half of them are asexual and would rather play Call of Duty than go out or fvck.
Eh, maybe. If that's true i'm in that camp. I remember having a cute 19 yo redhead fwb for a long time years ago and I got more enjoyment out of playing Starcraft 2 than fvcking her.

The Test thing might be explain some of it, but most gen Z seem like horny coomers from what I've seen, they desperately want sex and GFs but can't get it and they're too delusional and ideologically hypnotized by feminism/leftism to recognize why.

The 10% go on dating apps because now it is mainstream there are enough attractive girls on the apps to make it worth their while.

And women are flaky and even for top tier guys they aren't always DTF. So 10% guys have an incentive to hoard women and keep them as an option.

And their presence on the apps creates an illusion of choice and an unfavourable contrast which makes women far less inclined to settle for lesser guys. Even if any matches women get with 10% guys goes nowhere a small part of them rationalizes that the fact they matched with that elite guy means they can eventually get a guy like that and for that reason they keep holding out for an elite guy while complaining bitterly about how dating apps suck (even though even an average looking girl can get hundreds of matches a day and date up. But that isn't enough for them. They don't want to just date up they want to date the best).

And so much of the social programming these days tells women they deserve the best that they don't need a man that they shouldn't settle.

For a top tier guy, there's greater efficiency in rotation building on swipe apps than in nightlife venues or non-bar venues.

Yeah, right now the apps are basically what women use to "ride the carousel" and what attractive/chad uses to build a "roster". The issue with the apps is that the majority of users (75% IIRC) are male.. average males. A lot of these average male are leaving the platform.. These average males are basically what's keeping afloat the dating apps (pay subscription, etc.) while the chads are "reaping the benefits".

Match group stock is down close to 15% year to date. They need to find other avenues of income. As the apps become even more of a playground for the chads to use women, the women (especially attractive to slightly above average women) will start to leave also. I think we are seeing this. The dating apps are in a doom loop.

The so called doom loop won’t occur anytime soon. Decades possibly.

I’d say 2% of men get actively hit on in public - they’re model quality. The next 5% clean up on online dating. And success diminishes from there down.

Its happening now. Gen z is leaving the apps. Stock value is down. Match group trying to figure out ways to increase income, etc. Will apps change in time? I don't know. Will apps still be around, sure... but it wouldn't be as popular as a few years ago.

So are you trying to say that because Chads figure that they would be wasting their time at nightlife venues, the Normies should be able to clean up there? :rolleyes:

No. Normies would not be able to clean up in nightlife venues.

Top tier guys do well both on swipe apps and in nightlife venues. There is a point where swipe apps might become more efficient for a certain level of man than late nights in a nightlife venue for rotation building. It depends on what the man wants.

Plenty of top tier men use nightlife venues for sex.

Swipe apps, Instagram DMs, nightlife venues, and non-bar approaching will all work well for a top tier man. It depends on what the top tier man wants to focus on in his game.

For about 90% of men, this is true. The top 10% or so do well with swipe apps.
I am talking about the quality of women on the apps, not if you manage to get laid or not

I have normal looking guys and they manage to get laid from time to time from apps with normal looking women

It is the correct decision for average men to leave the platform.

However, where can average men do better? Nightlife venues? Daygame?

Think about Gen Z for a moment. The oldest Gen Z'ers were born in 1997. They've grown up well into the internet era. Does someone born in 1997-2005 have the interpersonal skills to approach women in real life given that they've grown up with technology and avoiding human interaction? It's questionable.

in the past, societies answer was to stop Chad's from F'ing the majority of girls and slvt shame women so they wouldn't become cat ladies.

men have always had issues with interpersonal skills, approaching women, etc.. it's a scientific fact men have less empathy, social skills, etc as compared to women. on that front nothing has changed. what has changed is society giving women the choice to sleep arround and women are taking it and choosing Chad's in hopes Chad's will pick her in the long run.

if the past solutions are unobtainable, then the winning move is to not play.

yes, unless men can do a better job of educating women that some men only want the P, and nothing else. most of these men will be chads.

also men must also do a better job educating women that they are likely average and deserve average guys, not Chad thunder ****.

basically deprogram feminism from women. if not, the average man and the average woman suffer together.

The average woman is still getting laid though.
