This means men will see many fewer women on the platform in many cases.
it means men would not spend hours on the app, which means nobody would ever do this
Who wants men spending hours on the app and why? Most of these are subscription-based, not ad-supported.
i dunno i thought that was the goal of all apps. it's free money basically
No, it's the goal of apps that want to serve as many advertisements as humanly possible. Most dating apps don't have any way to monetize your attention.
Exactly, Im 50 and Im not rich or particularly good looking. If I was straight I might only see 5 or 6 women on the app that would match with me to begin with and if those didn't become anything I'd be done with that app. It can't work
Would you rather see 5 or 6 women that all expressed interest in you or a thousand women who have never and probably will never even see you? Open the app, swipe 5 or 6 times, move on with your life.
As someone who has spent a stupid amount of time browsing Tinder for shits & giggles, I'm not sure I wouldn't want that. But then again I'm gay and things work way differently for us. If I swipe right, it's very likely we match and then have a boring convo that goes nowhere. Maybe I suck at it but I never have any luck despite everything.
You're gonna have a boring convo on a chat app with a random stranger. You're both interested in each other, just ask to meet up. Do something interesting together and the conversation will flow naturally.
This is very well put.
i am the most attractive sexy man in my entire giant city of 23 million people but i still have to swipe 50 girls to get 1 match and i might not even be that interested in her. better to meet girls in real life and follow them around on the tube and insert myself into their personal space 🚀
Yes, that's the idea. They wouldn't see anyone who hasn't already liked them.
