Read MoreAre dating apps a problem now, or is it me?
Immediately, I will be honest and say I'm a little lazy with dating apps. I swipe right on everything, and then filter out the matches after the fact, but I don't believe it would matter even if I didn't - in fact, I'd probably have less matches.
Here's the issue: Basically all of my matches are with women I don't consider to be in my league. I don't have a distorted or warped view of myself, I know my worth and I know the kind of women I'm capable of getting, but for some reason it ain't happening on these apps anymore.
Back in the day (pre-covid), I approached these apps with the same laziness, and got wayyyyy more matches, and much better options too. What has changed? Because I'm pretty certain it isn't me, and I know I'm not the only one who's noticed this.
Edit: Could be because I'm a little older now, but I doubt it. More than likely it is because online dating has shifted more to social media platforms such as Instagram where attractive women can advertise themselves much more easily for very high value men, leaving all the lake monsters and decrepid single mothers for dating apps. Probably a lot more complex than that, or maybe it's that my face is not en vogue post-covid. Maybe they can detect that I'm not an esteemed, vaccinated soy lord. No idea, that's why I'm here.
Download tinder on either a burner or settings for "only show me to profiles I've swiped on" (so you don't like a faggot), make your looking for "men", and then browse top picks.
That is the easiest way to see what the best male profiles look like. Some of them aren't even Chads, they just have incredibly photogenic pics of them having a great lifestyle and bio that is a cherry on top. But top picks is where your mystical profiles are.
It's worth doing for research purposes

@Lone_Ranger It is. Easily. I only have to walk into a bar and I've got female attention. I just think OLD used to actually be a useful tool, but now it fucking sucks donkey shit.

@Vermillion-Rx What I wanna know is where are all these mystical top 5 percenters? I wanna see what their profiles look like, and see how it compares to the average.
but that women aren't necessarily looking for ONS on them.
It's not that they are looking for ONS, it is that the sexual marketplace in OLD just leads to it.
You have 80% or more of women (it's probably like 95%) swiping on the best profiles. They'll stop on some lesser ones just because but they are swiping in the best ones because more times often than not those profiles still swipe them back. Then 90% of men are getting almost no matches or very few.
So almost all women on OLD are gauranteed sex and dates, a small tier of B men even smaller group of A and S-tier OLD chads have all the women. Because they have woman-like levels of choice, they could just run harems and they often do, making most women short term flings by consequence

@Vermillion-Rx I agree with @coolsocks00. Yeah, it's cool that she's tricking out on a mountain bike (My ex girlfriend was sick on a BMX too), but I want to see how fit your body is, how pretty your face is primarily. I'm not trying to penetrate your hobby.
To juxtapose that, I do however have chad-level pics of me playing drums, some shirtless, in motion as well. Others of me smiling walking down the street and lookin swagged. I've had compliments on all of these photos from women at one time or another, but apparently they no longer work on dating sites haha. I'm really inclined to agree with you though as well Vermillion on that pictures make up 95% of the appeal, but that women aren't necessarily looking for ONS on them.
