wow. There are 5 men for every woman on Tinder. I wonder what kind of ratio there would be at this app, I imagine young male conservatives outnumber female consertives by a huge number. We have a funny situation in Poland with dating apps. The government banned abortion which massively pissed young women. Two conservative parties got a heat and some time ago about one third of profiles had in there bio, that if you support those parties you can swipe left (dont contact them). Basically having a sex strike on conservative people, altough not coordinated

I know quite a few women who are disgusted by the number of men just looking for short term gratification that tinder and the like attract. If anything, I would expect it to mirror the ratio found on sites like eHarmony- basically more long term / marriage / family oriented than Tinder would be. That said, it is a dating site- men outnumbering women is practically guaranteed.

  For young conservatives, short term gratification is just as much of a problem as for liberals.

  > I know quite a few women who are disgusted by the number of men just looking for short term gratification that tinder and the like attract. Why are they disgusted? Tinder seemed to be a direct clone of Grindr early on, and was focused on “here are people near you, looking for casual sex”. When it got popular, the new influx turned it into a dating site, but it’s whole interface and design is for hookups. Getting mad at men for looking for hookups on Tinder is like getting mad at someone on Uber only wanting a lift somewhere.

The sex ratio doesn't really matter if he and his friends get preferential treatment in the app. That's the usual reason for starting / financing a dating app.

quality over quantity is always better for those looking for an LTR

> There are 5 men for every woman on Tinder. I wonder what kind of ratio there would be at this app, Among humans, the sex ratio is about .5. If you are noticing a different ratio, you have a selection effect at play. > I imagine young male conservatives outnumber female consertives by a huge number. Speak for yourself! I personally find very disturbing than male geeks assume I must be some kind of leftist. Hell, no! OTOH, I appreciate they announce their colors so easily. It makes avoiding them much easier for me.

Yes, neither “people who identify as conservative” nor ”people who choose to use dating apps” are random samples of humanity, both have significant biases on many axes, including (in both cases and in the same direction) gender.
