Isn't it just supply and demand. I know very few women on tinder, but most of my single guy friends are on it.

  I don't think it's this simple. There are actually many women on Tinder. The reality is women are creeped out by many men on dating sites and apps. If you don't believe me, go talk to some women and ask them about their experiences. Or go read the /r/creepypms subreddit, which isn't just concerned with online dating but shows you what women have to deal with online. This pushes them towards only interacting with the most attractive and witty men who create a sense of safety. Whether that sense of safety is false is up for debate, but I do think this is what drives a large amount of inequality in online dating. Men are generally not scared of or creeped out by women they interact with online, so their standards online are closer to their standards in real-life.

    No idea if it's true, but a commonly heard thing is that most women are on Tinder not with the intention of ever meeting someone via it, instead they (consciously or subconsciously( use it as an ego boost.

      From experience, I'd say this is undoubtedly true, but a large number do want go meet and go out.

      I also know two women who do exactly that. No man I know is on Tinder etc. for boosting his ego. The odds are incredibly stacked against men, even if the male/female ratio is even.
