nah youre wrong bro. There are structural issues that would would make dating apps work better for most men. You have to remember that there is a 80-20 distribution for women on how many men they find visually attractive. 20% of menive are very attractive to women, while 80% are not at all.
I've seen the difference at work. And for those 80% the changes OP is suggesting would be good.
Is it that different for men finding women attractive?
If you showed me pictures of 100 women in my dating age range, I think I’d find around 20* of them attractive on average. That was true when I was 20, 30, or now.
* - That might even be a significant over-estimation.
Because if you read past the first and third graphs, which do more-or-less support your position in terms of how they answered "how attractive would you say this person is?", and look into the "how likely was it that you took action to communicate with them?", the selectivity flips quite hard into something that many of us would probably guess: "women's looks matter more to men than men's do to women".
Nope, it’s still going to suck for most men. It always has, and always will. Being constantly rejected by women isn’t new, dating apps didn’t invent this, it’s been around forever.
If you want to solve the problem of the typical man having matches that go nowhere, then fine, remove the matches that go nowhere, and he can have no matches instead. Also, the Pareto principle for dating apps isn’t just about physical attractiveness, it’s about all of the factors that women discriminate against combined. If you want to make an app that restricts the ability of women to discriminate effectively, then good luck getting women to use it.
Considering this is owned by Match - it really isn’t going to be any better. It’s not in Match’s interest to have this app actually solve societal woes.
Hinge allows you to be far more selective, ie not date people of particular religions. I find that honestly refreshing, since I'm LGBT and guess what - tinder will allow homophobes to look and sometimes even match with my profile. My only option so far is to place it first thing in my bio! But then I still get to swipe over a 100 conservative christians and have no idea. it's a waste of time.
Sure my point is there should be a toggle in the app that goes - are you interested in dating bisexual men? If you’re not, I shouldn’t see you and they shouldn’t see me, since it’s wasting both our times.
