man, online dating is DISMAL as a guy

seems like you can succeed by a) being super Type A about it (get the most premium version of the app, swipe endlessly to maximize selection, hire someone to tweak your profile) or b) being top 2% hot

wild that men are expected to be like male bowerbirds and come up with creative and elaborate courtship strategies while women fly around inspecting the quality of the bowers and many women end up selecting the same top-performing male bowerbirds

I find it oscillates weirdly. Sometimes it'll be like that and then other times it'll be the exact opposite (no's and yet more no's)

No guy has ever intentionally swiped left in their life. I'm calling it now, this guy a cop.

Yeah it sucks for guys, but I think especially so in SF - I’ve had better experiences in other cities that actually have women around

I noticed this too. The people on Hinge are disproportionately bad looking, but only after the first three. It's ruined the app for me.

The biggest thing is that men used to court with personality and wit and confidence. Now, you just have to be genetically lucky. The superficial wins over what used to be the core of a successful relationship.

Last year I started developing an app to address this exact solvable pain point, but other projects swooped in to crowd it out. General gist: search + social gamification _before photos_ to restore wit and personality to their rightful primacy.

Online dating sucks for everyone involved... Guys get a 1% engagement rate, and women get 1% serial killers
