When you're on dating apps, you're competing with million of other men. Before dating apps, you're competing with maybe only a pool of a few hundred.
Also, your dating profile is completely impersonal. It list your hobbies, your like, dislike, etc. All these pale in comparison to just meeting people in person and maybe making social connections.
- pydry 3y agoThat's kind of my point. Dating apps are A) how the majority of people meet these days and B) are explicitly geared towards making people filter partners by attractiveness above all other qualities. Ergo I think A) incels are partly or mostly a creation of the way swipe based dating apps has changed mate selection behavior and B) efforts by psychologists to emphasize that looks don't matter to women as much as incels think they do based upon surveys are badly missing the point.
