Not a problem in reality. Men will gladly settle for what they can get.

  I think men's obsession about this topic needs to be treated in the same way drug addiction is. Flood the market with supply then complain about surplus? It's like watching a dog chase its own tail.

    I can't remember having seen someone compare a basic human need (level 2 on the Maslow hierarchy) with drug addiction. What's next, addiction to nutrients and oxygen? Your thought is baffling to me, bordering on absurd. Also, the implication that the men who complain about surplus are responsible for flooding the market with supply is plain wrong. Literally no man chose to be born into this world.

      Hookups are not a need. Male users are the overwhelming majority of these apps. If not age limitations on female attractiveness, then the underlying problem is the intensity of men's compulsions compared to women.

        > Hookups Careful, did you notice yourself shifting the goalpost? The article and accompanying discussion was about intimacy+sex, you just reduced this to casual sex. > are not a need. Factually wrong. This should prompt you to find out what the word need means, it's likely you have the wrong idea about it.

          I did consider your first point, but if serious relationships are the goal, just head to the local marriage agency. No shortage of women looking for a traditional provider. People asked for sexual liberation - this is the result.
