Dating isn't a zero sum game, there are hundreds of thousands of single women in the bay area at any time, more than any individual can ever possibly meet befor

  Zero-sum has nothing to do with absolute numbers, let alone "the number you can meet". The issue is relative numbers. If there's more demand for women than there is demand for men in the relevant cohort, some men's demand must be unsatisfied (barring polyandry). That's as true for 10M men and 8M women as it is for 10 men and 8 women. (After those 8x women are matched, there are 2x men left over.) Moreover, single is the wrong characteristic - available is the right one. The ratio of available women to available men is even more lopsided than the ratio of women to men (in the relevant cohort). (It doesn't matter what definition you use for available as long as it's the same on both sides.)

  It's a lot worse than zero sum actually. Most girls are happy not to fuck if they feel "there's better out there". Hence the decreasing degree of sex in young people to be linked with the increase of social media.
