Tinder actually sounds like something out of Black Mirror. A massive corporation has put dating behind a pay wall, and is actively profiting off of people’s loneliness, destroying average looking people’s self esteem and unjustly inflating the egos of attractive people.

[@dusanradojkovic8190]

It's not that simple. Even some conventionally nicer looking guys get bullshit on these apps. It's all dependent on the algorithm and your photos. A lot of times it doesn't even make sense. For instance, with me, I've gotten some photos that get decent to good scores on Photofeeler (with lots of Yes's for Attractiveness, even by higher standards women), but still my match rate has never really changed. I occasionally get some quite attractive women, but the match rate's never gotten better. It's just quite rigged against you, for the large part. If you're going to virtually never show someone's profile on the card deck because it apparently didn't immediately pop off, what hope do they ever have of getting further unless they maybe fully reset their account with professional photos from a photographer who charges $2000? Ridiculous.

[@himynameis3664]

Women's expectations have gone crazy as a result of this too. Every man needs to be over 6 ft and earn a small fortune. Even very average women expect this. The double standards are ridiculous. A woman can turn you down over your height, a quality you can't control. But you're a misogynist if you ask their weight? Something they can 100% control

Yep, and the reason women are so disappointed in the guys they meet is because they are all dating that top 10% guy (in terms of appearance) who has his calendar booked with planned 1 night stands while the average and just above average Joe’s are home alone swiping and hoping for a serious relationship.

I am both open to guys and girls on tinder (as a guy). While I matched with 133 guys, I only got 1 Woman during that time. Yes, one. Its not like I look stereotypically gay either. Straight dating on tinder is a joke as a guy. And it makes sense. As a guy you swipe right most of them and girls can be extremely choosy and are very rare on the platform. The odds are just stacked against you.

[@vylbird8014]

Tinder exploits the problem of loneliness, and particularly that loneliness that stems from lack of a romantic partner. It exacerbates the problem, in order to manipulate people into parting with their money. But it does not create the problem. There are a lot of people who are single (yes, mostly men) and have little prospect of finding a partner for one reason or another, and society judges them harshly for it - the 'adult virgin' is a stock character in comedy, always depicted as a man who failed at being a man. This horde of desperately lonely men are easily to exploit for profit, but also create fertile ground for anger and resentment. That's how we ended up with the incel subculture.

[@Sluppie]

There are more women in the world than men, so for every single hetero man there is at least one corresponding single hetero woman. Women just aren't using tinder to find dates.

[@donaldbaird7849]

@@Sluppie what? no, we have slightly more men in the world, it's a 1.018 male/female ratio

[@KoreaMojo]

It's also a toxicity that drives that culture. Most incels are brain-cels whether they acknowledge that or not. A minority are unfortunate looking men with extenuating circumstances but most have dsyfunctional personalities and are not treated. They use alloplastic defenses to blame individuals rather than an isolating, alienating system that breeds discontent with the natural means of meeting natural drives in a healthy. All to propagate conspicuous consumption that imbues people with the illusion of being or having traits of the things they consume, including other people. If you do not or cannot become x, then appear to be x by associating with x or consuming x. People don't know true intimacy from a young age with families too busy trying to survive and being raised by advertising that say you can furnished love through...objects. So there has been a break down of community, as flawed as it can be and a void where natural emotional needs lay wasted. Also the thing of being shamed for having and expressing these needs, especially as a man. Where you are told the only safe emotions are anger and impassiveness. It's a cluster f-word. Women are highly emotionally dysfunctional too but compared to the repressed and shamed average men, they feel healthy. And the weirdest thing of all, most parents have done a kinder job of raising their children than their parents and so forth but that break down of community has left us with little support to brace ourselves against. Real love is somewhat a risk but it's the only investment worth the gamble because the pay off is so rich even if not idealistic. Much better than spending your resources on a human slot machine or a human buffet. Instead we should be growing are gardens and sharing our shade, if you are alone your still self-fulfilling and productive in the long-term not just at a wasted urge. Then when you find someone to share this personal garden with, you actually can, because you have internal resources you've been cultivating instead of junk you've collected from impulsivity, performative interaction and simulated intimacy.

@@xXTheBl4ckC4tXx the part that really sucks is these dating apps have actually impacted peoples ideas of what "average" even is, which skews opinions of attractiveness. A study on dating apps found that 80% of men are rated as appearing "below average" compared to 40% of women, and the women polled only rated less than 5% of men as attractive. It's the same with other areas of social media, the fitness community online has been dealing with spiraling toxic attitudes about physical fitness and attractiveness since sites like Tik Tok and instagram make it so that tons of people are all competing for attention meaning only the top 0.1% get much attention. Thats why there's been skyrocketing numbers of premature deaths among body builders in the last few years, even among people who live at the gym they're finding it impossible to keep up since social media keeps shifting peoples perception of what "fit" actually looks like. Even professional bodybuilders are finding it hard to keep up and are needing to get more bulk AND lower body fat percentages at the same time. Just look up the top bodybuilders of the silver age of body building (basically the 40s, 50s, 60s, and early 70s) like Steve Reeves vs many body builders on social media today: before Schwarzenegger Reeves was the gold standard of body building and today he'd be luckily to win state level body building contests rather then Mr Universe and Mr Olympia

Being on tinder made me pick myself apart and hate every aspect of myself on a nightly basis. This was really damaging to my psyche for a while, but I couldn't stop; I was addicted to tinder. I spent countless nights swiping non-stop and going to bed hating every fiber of my being after not getting a single match.

its disgusting corporate greed whether you're a man or a woman. the algorithm artificially restricts your range (male or female) for no good reason and if you do get matches its almost always from the same pool of people. the app is designed to dehumanise and capitalise on human suffering and loneliness. hope you've gotten better.

[@PencilSticks]

I was excited to go to college because it would be a level social playing field and therefore be easier for me to make friends and get a girlfriend. Then the pandemic happened and all of my classes are online. Apps like Tinder and Bumble are the only chance I have now, and they’re rigged just like you described. I don’t know what to do.

[@jappamogo]

Yeah, feel the same way. I think working on ourselves is the best course of action for the time being while we wait for better days.

[@ninjacell2999]

Honestly there's not much you can do atm, but joining some kind of club or activity group is probably your best shout even if there isn't much for one to do atm

have you tried spending all of your money on microtransactions?

[@ghostridersinthesky21]

Work on yourself and forget about the idea of dating for a while. Thats what I started doing since the transition to online learning. Dont bother with Tinder, itll suck all of your time and leave you unhappy. You are competing with 4 other men for every one woman on that app and chances are, they are better selfie takers than you because they have nothing but time.

"It forces a quick decision" because choosing sexual partners benefits from reckless split-second decisions and is unnecessarily stifled by prudence and looking for warning signs.

[@SrMadru]

For desperate men yes,and guess who tinder wants using their app

[@KoreaMojo]

Well you know that's not the way we're implicitly told to act. That might actually make people happier, or at least leave them in peace. Happy don't consume enough.

[@Gnefitisis]

Yes. Sex doesn't care. This isn't about matchmaking, just fucking.

[@Nefariously_ignorant]

This video was great, the parody advert for males on tinder plus was hilarious and I've just realised that tinder gave it it's very best shot at putting a literal price on desperation

I think it's due to his facial muscles moving too independent from each other, while very vigorously. I think the more pleasant word would be 'an expressive face'.

I had these feelings and had sunk a good amount of money into the app before deleting. I had no idea that shame and self loathing was the intended user experience. This is unforgiveably immoral.

[@occamsrazor1285]

Though I personally know people that have successful, long-term relationships that met on Tinder (no way in hell am I speculating on the specifics of said relationships though. Just take two facts at face value: they met as Tinder matches and they've been together for >5 years), they're also good looking people. So it is possible to find something serious there, I think there's a pretty high barrier to entry. I gave Tinder a shot after I found out how they met, and even got a couple of matches. But never met up with anyone from Tinder. They all ghosted after a few hours.

[@fred6907]

I'm one of those people who had long-term relationships through Tinder. But it's based on EXTREME luck. The amount of useless profiles and ghosting was mindblowing. NEVER again!

[@thvtsydneylyf3th077]

extreme rare cases.. they exist but they dont make the rule.. in general tinders full of scum

[@enigmafiresup4658]

Don’t bother with dating apps as a male. You’re profile is just a toy to women who will move onto the next guy in 30 minutes

WhenI first used tinder I messed up the direction I needed to swipe to. Got bombarded by people I didn't even like and because I am polite I texted all of them. Some of them were actually good people and I felt bad for superficially judging them by their looks.
