I’m in the opposite corner. Watching my single acquaintances try and fail with dating apps is kind of depressing.

  Why do you think they're failing?

    Dunno about op but can tell what I see here: dating on tinder has become kinda an online shopping experience with a convenient return policy included. That's to say I see people just so focused to look for a prefer match that they forgot what a relationship and growing tougher is. There's far too romanticism and unrealistic expectations involved and too little effort and commitment put into it. Hard to quantify and pinpoint the issue exactly, but in general looking for that one love seems the issue.

    I can only speak for the male side, since said acquaintances are male. Men almost never get matched back. Even moderate to moderate good looking men in stable careers get matched back ~10% of the time, and get fewer dates still.

      If the number is as high as 10%, then they just need this automatic right-swiping device [1]. At 10% they wouldn't even need to run it overnight. 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IaoDfOaYF4w https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IaoDfOaYF4w

        Users report that swiping right too often decreases your swipe limit and how often other users see your profile.

          Makes sense, they’d want to dissuade this exact behavior.
