Went on a date with a woman from a dating app this evening and we talked about this exact thing. She was almost bragging about how she has guys blowing up her inbox but she ignores most of them. I offered a gentle correction in that that scenario is actually basically all women and almost none of them get relationships out of it.

IMO most women on dating apps are not looking for committed relationships.

My husband and I have been married 20 years. We have 4 children. I love him more each day. I live to serve my family and he does the same. Life without him and our children would be pointless to me. They are my universe and an opportunity to experience the highest form of love. I’m praying for all of you single folks to find your greatest loves. ❤️ It’s not a transaction, it’s transformational.

I am going to be really curious to see the long term ramifications of social media and the dating apps on women’s relationship success in the 2030’s and 40’s. Would not be surprised at all if having children out of wedlock just starts becoming the norm

Women over 30 who portray freezing their eggs as some kind of achievement is both hilarious and sad at the same time

Turning dating into a market is probably one of the worst things that could happen to relationships, this probably precedes dating apps, but honestly is fucking insane that we're treating ourselves as pure commodities when using them

[kellyfontes]

Their is a buyers market for men. Their is a run through market for women.

Doesn't get much simpler than this.

If you want to play the FB role you really have to be attractive. If you are an average looking guy you will never get those opportunities no matter how far you are willing to lower your women attractivness level, because there are so many of your kind. Don't underestimate the sexual drive of women. They know the scarceness of hot boys and they will step into action no matter what.

[melenico]

In some respects I think dating apps have affected women more via the quantity methodology but not quality. I am sure getting 500 matches can give you a massive dopamine hit but what is the quality and majority is sexual attention anyway. Plus a lot need to stay in there lane always going for the most attractive guy. Before we all get too excited yes men can do the same the lane part. You need to go for someone similar level or on par too a degree.

Long story short, a man wins if he DMs 1000 girls a day. He’ll have more options

[VonGoldfinger]

It doesn’t benefit a dating app for you to find the love of your life in the 1st swipe.
It does however benefit them if you start to swipe your hours away. Or pay.
It’s like walking into a casino with the pretense to walk out a millionaire. Extremely slim chance and not in the interest of the casino.

[ClassicalEndeavor]

I play for free, I pay for nothing. When women are selecting men for pleasure, they choose attractive men with great stamina and a dominant personality. When these women are selecting men for pleasure, they do not require financial investment. Emotional and physical investment is mandatory, to play for free.

Just lease and get sugar babies, less hassle, better quality, and you can always upgrade to a newer model.

[funandfun-xyez]

What is the difference between dating app and hooker app?

[hump]

What happens when you are 71 man looking for opportunities?

[yayhayes]

So if it’s fuck boy phenomena what is the other way around lol

[snorkus]

At 55, they come to me. Success is catnip to women, and as a “short king”, it’s now my way, or no way. They come correct, making sandwiches, until they’re DeCaprio’d.

Cue the delicious insults and sign language.
Your hatred simply entertains me.
Passport and mojitos.

[charliewhon]

This whole way of looking at relationships cheapens the whole point of a real relationship in the first place, which was to have a safe and committed couple who are being obedient to the “be fruitful and multiply, ” command of our Heavenly Father. In Truth, this is the only safe and pure way to have a sexual relationship in the first place. Every else is just plain fornication.
And because people don’t believe this or Scripture anymore, we have an absolute mess.

Yeah😂 That's what I get!
Type one: I get sex in 30 minutes for a coke and paying the hotelroom.
Type two: I pay for dinner but save the hotel room. Not even getting a kiss, but I'm asked for a relationship on the first date.
Type three: From online I'm dating only one of this type. First date a coffe. 2nd date a long weekend trip. She told me, she is only sleeping with one guy, when she's dating. She's the most beautiful of them. She said: You know my sex I'm giving. That's why I'm not down with infidality in a relationship. I said: rightfully so.
I can work with that.
