The asymetry of online dating explained with real life data and simulations.
Surprising result: The most attractive male profiles get more matches than the most attractive female profiles.
Sad thing we don’t talk about how freaking miserable online dating is for men, and how companies like Match Group profiteer from our misery.
Pointing it out gets you labelled a bitter incel by society.

Probably depends on context. How you say it, and who’s listening. I had no such problem when talking about it. There probably are people who label me as whatever when I do or say whatever, but why should I care about their opinion.
I found it interesting in the video that the line is not only between men and women, but also between more and less “attractive” individuals of each group.
lol the “dating world” ??? There’s not proof given that the dating world isnt’ exactly like the app and why is the “real world” even a topic of comparison? Dating apps are tools to get dates IRL, they are not supposed to simulate “real world dating”. Real world dating is vastly different for different people also and similar to the apps. If people find you attractive, you could get a lot of “likes” but those likes may come coded or hidden behind other form sof communication given the culture you are in.
The irony of it all is that dating apps should train you to like more people, not like less people. The whole reason you are on the app is because you dont like who is near you or htey dont like you.
