> they will use the app endlessly if real women are there Do they actually? I've spoken to many men and those apps don't seem to work at all. Usually gets deleted after a few days of usage. Like what's the point of being there if absolutely noone wants to write?

Hope - the best commodity that you can sell. It's no wonder Tinder is up there on the Play Store as the second highest grossing app alongside all the online gambling apps. That's because Tinder and all the online dating platforms are exactly designed to mimic gambling. You can't win if you're not in the game.

  Depends what winning means to you - to me it means having stable partner with whom I connect on almost all possible levels, extreme compatibility in mentality, worldview, future plans, most hobbies (including some extreme sports) are shared. Willingness to do a lot for the other, commitment, decency, good heart, love. Oh, and good, very good sex. Apart from last item (in variable quantity), nothing of that can be found on Tinder. I tried, many people I know of both genders tried, it is simply not there. Shallow, mostly uninteresting not really potential 'partners'. Those 1-night standers are definitely real life losers - no balanced personality wants this lifestyle long term and even short term is too much for most. But those riddled with childhood (daddy) issues, inferiority complexes, or otherwise deeply broken human beings have a place to have fun. If you're not one of them, don't expect anything but emotional harm from it

  The experience is not the same everywhere and in every country. In some countries Tinder has worked for me tremendously.

    I created several tinder profiles of men of different ethnicities. As a white person, tinder does wonders. As a brown person, you’re the least desirable. In Asian countries, white guys are the choosers.

      As a brown person I don't agree. I think it comes down to how "handsome" you look. Your color might help but not that much.

    Fair enough - having said that, I'm pretty sure you would have done alright with or without Tinder. The issue is selling hope to incels. That's where the real money's at.

I used tinder in college and it worked pretty well for me (male). I would swipe right 100%, and get 3-10 matches per day. Out of all of the matches, maybe 5% would message me. That would be the first time i even looked at the profile, and would decide to go for it or not. Out of that 5% i might actually go on a date with 1% of that group. It wasnt great, but wasnt terrible either.

  That's 1 potential date per year.

    I think it was 6 during my undergrad, 2 of which ended up in relationships, one of which lasted for 2 years. If i was just looking for a hookup it would have been more, but those % were based off people i thought i would honestly be compatable with. I blew off a lot of people looking for hookups

Hmm. Tinder and Bumble both absolutely work. I'm kinda old, but I've used them and two of my best friends have used them, and we've all had pretty great success achieving our goals through the apps. I would definitely say that these apps work well.

An individual man will not continue to use something they don't perceive as providing access to women. Men in aggregate will crawl across an interface made of broken glass if they perceive it as providing access to women. I know men in both categories.
