Two things he downplays but I think should get more attention. As someone who has been there way before dating apps it was pretty obvious to everyone that the 80/20% is pretty accurate. Every group of guys had those guys who would get most of the women, it is just the way it is. Dating app just made it even more extreme, maybe 90/10. The second thing is what he calls 2nd and 3rd tier apps. For all those 80% those apps give some alternative. If you don't get matches in Tinder you can still message people in POF for free and if you got good text skills it works much better than tinder for people who are average looking. So I wouldn't call it second tier but rather the solution to some of his complains. The solution he suggest is what society in more conservative societies always did, vetting by parents and family and a matching system that gave a chance to every male in society to find a woman by matchmaking with end result of one to one. All of that only works when you accept the scarcity of marriage and it is enforced socially by people, legally by the state and sometimes also by religion. I am afraid this is not going to work in our society of today unless we all accept on ourselves more conservative values.
