>Maybe tinder isn't reality and many in fact most people meet each other outside of tinder. 78% of women aren't actually chasing the top 20% of men and are in fact available to meet outside of hook ups on tinder.
No, Tinder is reality. It's naive to believe that just because it's a platform that facilitates communication and hookup that it's somehow disconnected from reality in it's own little microcosm or niche.
All Tinder does is reflect human behavior. Between Tinder, OkCupid and N other apps you have more than enough data needed to draw some very damning conclusions. Way beyond "more than enough", actually.
People who reject reality and live in their own little fantasy worlds will find themselves in for a bad surprise when they come to.
I mentioned this in a post further below - this is not new knowledge. Long before online dating apps, in the 90s, there existed alt.seduction.fast newsgroup that outlined all of this for people. Read Neil Strauss' "The Game" for some chilling truths, and then bring yourself back to 2020 and look at what is happening today. It isn't much different.

He also says he himself at the time of writing suffered from mental illness. https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2015/oct/10/neil-strauss-the-game-book-truth https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2015/oct/10/neil-st...
- troughway 6y ago>"a book about scared men who were afraid of women." Sounds about right actually. That's part of the reason why we are in this situation, and part of where the resentment comes from. Rejection is harsh for (almost) everyone to deal with. It's much easier to stay at home, play video games, masturbate, and blame your lack of <X> on why you are sexless.
- harambae 6y agoThat's just so he can sell his new book which is the other side of the coin [0]. It doesn't mean he actually wrote anything inaccurate. [0] https://www.amazon.com/Truth-Love-Commitment-Puzzle-Male-ebook/dp/B00ICN31SA/ https://www.amazon.com/Truth-Love-Commitment-Puzzle-Male-ebo...
