The apps cater to women's desire for high-status men and to men's desire for pussy or else they wouldn't work. The thing is, it's not really women ultimately winning here, it's the high-status men, who seem to carry no moral burden under this women win / men lose scenario.https://twitter.com/CovfefeAnon/status/1377504839513542656 …

It's not two sided as your formulation demonstrates. Women don't follow men to dating apps even high status men. Men do follow women to wherever women choose to be approachable. The result is a market that entirely caters to female desire.

Women are on dating apps to date, because that's the normative place to do it now. Women want to date men too. The problem is that the demand for sex will always outstrip the demand for relationships.

>that's the normative place to do it now It didn't fall from the sky and it wasn't a force of nature. It became the the "normative place" because it catered to female desire better than any other venue - how could it be any other way? If it was worse, women wouldn't sign up.

It catered to most people's desire as an extension to social media. People want "frictionless" everything. Most men hate cold approaches, so the free market swooped in. Liberalizing tech works this way in many areas of our lives.

It doesn't matter if "most men" hate cold approaches. If women are out there to be cold approached, they'll be cold approached and men will suck it up and do it. Men will go anywhere women are. Men hate clubs too.

Yes, bargaining power shapes any market. I just think the people with the most bargaining power on these apps are still men.

Men have no bargaining power over the apps -if there's pussy on offer, men will flock to the app. Men don't even end up with what they want in the modern dating market anyway - they want exclusive possession of a number of hot women - they get shared access to multiple women

Sharing a woman is soul killing for a man.
