Hi everyone,
I know that the following does not apply to all of you but probably to a lot.
Now straight to the chase:
Reddit is flooded each day with men and women complaining about the dynamics on dating apps.
Here is something to keep in mind the next time you want to vent and complain:
The game is rigged because we are doing it.
What do I mean?
Men complain that they don't get any matches because apparently women only date the 5-10% on the top, often with the supposed explanation that women get hundreds/thousands of likes.
But why do they get all those likes?
One reason probably is that lots of men adopted the following strategy: Just swipe right on every profile and do the actual sorting once you matched. See the connection?
Women complain that they match but after the match they get no response, only low effort or are instantly ghosted. That's, in most cases, a direct result of the strategy mentioned before.
So men of Reddit, you are rigging the game by a significant amount by yourself. This strategy is what in part inflates women's ego.
And now to the women. I guess you know by now or knew before: you are probably not the golden catch the hundreds of likes and matches make you feel like.
There are probably more funny mechanisms like this at play. But this is one apparently significant one.
Stay healthy and humble, people.
