Sounds like the average male experience on any dating site or app.
- smikhanov 11y agoWhen I was single that was exactly my experience; I'm probably just a very average-looking guy with no exceptional talents. But few weeks ago an article from Vanity Fair (http://www.vanityfair.com/culture/2015/08/tinder-hook-up-culture-end-of-dating http://www.vanityfair.com/culture/2015/08/tinder-hook-up-cul...) was describing Tinder as an endless supply of sex for whoever cared to tap into it. I tend to think that VF piece is completely fictional nonsense.
- carsongross 11y agoMen and women, on average, have dramatically different experiences in an open sexual marketplace: a few men are having quite a lot of sex, many women are having a fair amount of sex, and quite a few men are having very little sex. This is consistent with an underlying ugly darwinian dynamic: a single dominant male can produce thousands of children, while a single female can produce perhaps ten. So for a few men and most women, the VF article is reasonably accurate.
