I tend to largely agree. I think dating apps are being pitched as a "one size fits all" solution for finding a partner, but I have a handful of close friends, both men and women, who've ditched them entirely as they weren't finding what they were looking for. You're totally right about confidence. I should have been more specific - there are lots and lots of ways for men to improve their _overall_ attractiveness, working on confidence being one of the best. Unfortunately, confidence, humor, sociability, and charm are really hard to translate in dating apps, whereas face shape, stature, and other immutables are front and center. I'm sure we can agree that for the folks frustrated with their luck in OLD, their best bet is to find IRL avenues to meet partners.
