I think it's fascinating, albeit somewhat horrifying, watching how inducing mostly heterosexual women to adopt a typically homosexual male dating strategy is playing out in our society.

Maybe some portion of them always wanted this, and society just didn't allow them? It's nice that dating apps normalized transparency around these topics, though. Now it's totally fine to say "not looking for a relationship" or "no hookups" or "open to anything short or long term" or "looking to start a family", all right there in the first few sentences alongside "must be fit" or "no gamers" or "no Christians".

I don't see how it's possible to know what people "aways wanted" because people respond to changing incentives. By revealed preference we can reliably conclude that a portion of people want to shoot up and crap in the streets too. Did they always want to or is it a behavior pattern that's been adopted due to changing circumstances and arguably warped incentives?
