Dating is an activity where people around the world have enthusiastically adopted technology, embraced software over traditional face-to-face methods, and where venture capital and subsidies have played a small role in its mainstream acceptance. No longer are you constrained to the people you meet at school, on your commute, at work, at the grocery store, coffee shop, or on a night out. With dating apps, you expand your options from a handful of static possibilities to a dynamic pool that spans hundreds of miles at the tap of a button anywhere you go.
Dating apps eliminate the risky, emotionally-intensive, in-person cold approach of traditional dating in favor of a casual and detached game of swipes. Through photos and bio, you create a digital representation of yourself on dating apps. You get to showcase yourself, your personality, hobbies, interests, finest moments, and physical attributes so that potential partners are always seeing you at your best. Dating apps are more lead generators than they are matchmakers. They provide potential partners, but it’s up to you to qualify and nurture these prospects into real dates. While Tinder, Hinge, Bumble, and Grindr are the most prominent ones today, new dating apps come out every year.
Most industries are duopolies where there are 2 leaders and many small players. Markets naturally transform over time, which grants smaller players the opportunity to unseat incumbents in a constant cycle of evolution. Yet online dating is a monopoly. Modern apps like Tinder, Hinge, Meetic, The League and legacy websites like Match.com, OK Cupid, and Plenty of Fish are all actually owned by the same company. In this episode, we’ll cover not only the Tinder monopoly, but also the psychology and technology that have made online dating so popular and such a lucrative billion dollar business around the world.

In any dating environment, women are a substantially more valuable asset than men. Many pre-Tinder dating sites' biggest problem was a massively skewed gender imbalance with too many men and not enough women. It's even the same in nightclubs where women will often pay low or no fee at the door to get in, or in swingers clubs where single women are allowed but men have to bring at least 1 woman with them. Putting women in marketing is a way to signal to men that women use the app too, but also to signal to women that it's something normal women actually do and enjoy.

this is the biggest problem with online dating apps that the youtuber introvertedmadness talked about as well. because dating options essentially provide an "infinite" pool of possible partners, people aren't willing to settle for anything that's less than perfect because "perfect has to exist in that infinite pool of possible partners".

Not sure what makes you think women have more options than men or aren't thirsty af as well. But you're wrong. Women use dating apps much less than men and women don't consider social media to be for dating either so that "point" is moot. I also just looked into it and there are literally studies that show women are more likely to settle in long-term relationships than men. Cope.
@pointblanks
@pointblanks Год назад
@@cryptiddy Women use dating apps slightly less than men as they have the advantage of getting approached by men in real life. Women don't approach men and don't need to do since it's expected that the man approaches. That's a significant advantage in dating right there. Now what you take things online, women have a much crazier, absolute advantage. The average woman gets something like 50+ matches compared to the average man's 2 matches. This point is not debatable as it's fact. There's tons of articles and data online confirming this fact and lines up perfectly with what male anecdotes. If this is not common knowledge to you, I'm taken back as you're living in a privileged bubble. Also, saying women are likely to settle in long-term relationships is true, but doesn't prove how any of your points like how women are thirstier than men. Just because women are likelier to be in a long-term relationship doesn't mean they'll settle for the first decent guy. We don't know what the actual numbers for in-person encounters, but online, women do not settle whatsoever for the first decent guy as they don't have to. Why would they when they have 50 matches within 2 days? The woman's standard for men shoots up higher online where she aims for the the top 10% of men in her inbox. This is why it's recommended that men meet women in real life by getting involved in the community or approaching them as that's the only way of avoiding becoming a number in a random woman's inbox. By the way, it'd be nice that you don't delete any of your comments that I reply to.

The fundamental problem is that tinder and co lose business if someone goes steady, so everything is optimized for the 'match moment' with little care about what happens after it (the chat tab is for example pushed into the background when it really should be the default tab, and has been buggy for me)

I've never been able to get into dating apps, or any social app really, where the only purpose is to "meet people". At least on traditional social media there are ways to talk and express yourself naturally over time. On dating apps, the interaction feels like it ends at the match moment. It's about as effective at building relationships as it would be to approach people on the street and see if they're open to chatting with you just because you made eye contact.

I feel really uncomfortable on dating apps and perform really poorly on them. But it feels so much harder than it used to to meet people in person (I'm not in college anymore, social interaction for everyone is declining before and especially after lockdowns, and dating apps are making people less receptive to meeting in person). I feel like a hostage to Hinge/Tinder, which haven't even produced success for me anyway. I suspect it's a positive feedback loop-if you're predisposed to not liking it it goes badly, and because it goes badly you dislike it more, ad infinitum.

The whole "Dating apps suck but there's no irl alternative" thing reminds me of cars and how they affected society. When first brought onto the market, cars were just an optional luxury, as most people lived in small, dense rural communities were walking was always an option. But as cars became more affordable and widespread, it lead to the creation of vast highways and suburbs, with urban planning gradually putting less and less focus on walkability. To the point where cars have basically became mandatory for anyone living outside of a metropolitan downtown area. Similarly dating apps used to just be an optional convenience, but as they became more and more mainstream and central to finding a partner, we're seeing the live events and institutions that were designed to bring people together socially slowly being squeezed out of existence. For this reason, I honestly see it as a moral and social obligation to not use dating apps.

Sorry app dating isn’t going well for you. It’s a tough dating market for sure. My strongest recommendation is that you get your dating profile pics rated, probably through a photo assessment app like photofeeler. Since most apps are supremely visual these days, you have to have excellent photos to get your proverbial foot in the door. I’d start by rearranging your photos based on those assessments, and then plan some new photos as well, possibly with a local photographer you can find via social media. I took all my dating apps offline until I lose enough weight to take better photos, my research indicated this is an essential part of the process. Good luck!

Can't deny that dating apps are great because it gives you option to meet people outside your immediate pool. It made me feel less anxious that I have to find someone within my immediate group, since taking a move within the close groups can sometimes mess up good friendships. But like the video highlighted, the elusion of option definitely can take away time and effort you put in to people you truly interact with or someone next to you at the moment. Always will be a double edged sword.

@@muhwyndham I can understand that viewpoint to an extent. But I don't want to keep playing roulette with the things I want, lol. I have several things I refuse to budge on with a partner, such as not smoking, minimal (or no) drinking, not wanting or already having children (I do not like children), they must be non-religious as I do not want religious iconography in my home...these things make me VERY far outside of the norm of most people, especially where I live, and that's not even my complete list, lol! And no, I don't see this as being picky. I would be rich if I had a dollar for every time someone complained to me about their partner over things that could've been resolved if they'd have vetted the person better and known more about themselves and what they want in a relationship. I know what I want and am refusing to compromise, because I know I'll be very unhappy if I do. I don't like Tinder either, though. But I would much rather there be an option for people to openly say they just want casual sex than to use other dating sites where people want a long-lasting relationship but the other person doesn't. Having multiple dating sites allows for lots of people to find exactly what they're looking for. And it doesn't infringe upon those who want to just bump into their partner, so everyone can still have what they want. It's okay if dating sites aren't your thing, though.

21:00 this is the result of neoliberalism and the deregulation that followed suit: removal of labor rights, stagnant rate of pay as COL has sharply increased even though we are working more than ever, etc. This has been in the main focus of making the rich richer and “trickle down economics” which is still going on and has massively failed the working class - see the wealth gap between the rich and everyone else. This is why people become hyper obsessed with things they do not have much control over even as a collective: stocks, crypto, real estate, and more. This is due to amount of journalism and media focus in hyper individualism and making your own path to become rich after all the average American thinks of themselves as a “temporarily embarrassed millionaire”. This is further compounded by the average job and even college educated ones not giving one an affordable and desirable career, that’s why they turn their heads to things like tech which has shown to be high paying and remote - people look at that first before considering what’s behind the actual job itself, see coding bootcamp burnouts. What’s worse is all these things we want to be obsessed with is fueled by monopoly and cheap borrowing power which manipulates everything so people think it actually is that highly valued when it isn’t at all, see VC-pumped and stock market pumped tech layoffs going on in 2022 once interest rates went up. At the end, this is a structural problem caused by neoliberalism aka free market capitalism and one that won’t be solved by it. Dating apps is a great indicator to see how things have changed for the worst along with the things mentioned at this minute mark, at the end of the day we are in a much worse position than our counterparts from 40-50 years ago were during the golden economic era that was due to regulations and not rewarding bad companies and fraudulent bubbles (dot com, 2008, tech).

This is missing the crucial info that dating apps intentionally discriminate men by matching the bottom 20% of women with the bottom 80% of men, and vice versa. This creates the need for men to purchase premium, otherwise none of the real matches (e.g. the 55% man matching the 52% woman) are even options to them. The top 80% women get the top 20% of men, thus making them even pickier, again reinforcing the bottom 80% of men to desperately go for premium features to increase their chances.

One of the biggest consequences of Tinder and similar apps that focus on optionality is the rise of vain people who are obsessed with vain metrics like the number of matches instead of the quality of matches. Optionality will lead to the rise of narcissism and all kinds of disorders

Me (m21) tried tinder for a week or so. Tbh I found it super boring. Why should I swipe all .day when I can literally just go to the next coffee shop and have a nice conversation with someone I got a few matches but most women were not my type at all anyway, plus it seemed like it was either me texting them or them ignoring the match. Dating Apps feel like a waste of time tbh …

Everyone needs to stop using online dating apps it’s nothing but a scam it’s nothing but hookup and losing a lot of money just to talk to a bot if you want a relationship you have to go out into the world and find the person of your dreams if you don’t then it’s your loss and you are stuck with talking to a bot

Dating apps are pretty much on demand by consumers on a regular basis. It isn’t always the case that people who signed up for these dating apps are seeking for long-term commitments. It can only just be for a ‘hook up’ and that’s it. Keep up the good work on your future videos to come. We will just be here to support you.

The reason why dating apps are having a difficult time infiltrating, and why men despise them and women loathe them, is because your “options” are either fakes and catfishes, people looking only to hook up, or desperate people that aren’t really socially adept at having a romantic relationship. At least that’s my opinion on the heterosexual geared apps. Honestly even if you’re not physically attractive and you aren’t throwing money into a dating app, I think people will respect you more. There’s still a huge stigma around modern dating apps tbh.
