This is similar to what happens with humans. Females will use an app to quickly scroll through a lot of men, but because they are presented with so many options they will gravitate only toward the top tier men. But the top tier men can only be with so many females, so the majority of females will not get the top tier. However, their standards will still be raised and they will not settle for someone lower. So females will continue searching for this perfect specimen of men and refuse to mate with other males. The other males end up leaving the app and revenue is lost.

- jimmaswell 6y agoExactly what happened to me throughout all of college. No point even trying with the world this situation has created. Maybe the more socially responsible thing for developers of these apps to do is only show a limited number of men to pick from, penalize the rankings of high performers, and boost the rankings of poor performers.

- jimmaswell 6y agograduated a few years ago, tinder and okcupid I think
- staticman2 6y agoIn the real world people seem to still be reproducing and mating and marrying. So no, this story of women no longer pairing with men due to apps making them picker doesn't ring true.
- Smithalicious 6y agoHuman reproduction is below maintenance in most first world countries
- staticman2 6y agoWhich is presumably due to birth control and other unrelated factors. To back up the claim that women are no longer looking to pair with men due to apps you can't use reproduction statistics.
- Jackim 6y agoTinder is #2 for top grossing app. I don't think revenue is really being lost here.
- filoeleven 6y agoWhy do you exclusively use the term “females” here instead of “women”, while mostly using the term “men” instead of “males” until the end?
