    Dating apps are meant to keep you from dating.
    Using them has an affect of appearing to scratch the itch of doing something about your loneliness, that is in actual practice a worthless act that also diminishes your self-esteem and dignity.
    The companies that make them also have a vested interest in your continued failure. If they worked, they wouldn't make money.

      Dating apps aren't that bad especially for introverts as they don't have energy to socialize with a larger group. It gives them a good platform to meet like minded people.but I agree that it is biased towards good looks and pics

      I mean if you're getting all your information online, yeah. All algorithms look for your interaction with what you're being shown. All interaction is greater towards negative things because it's a survival response so you can remember the bad things more easily than good things so you can avoid the bad things after 1 interaction.

    Also, I think we all make a terrible mistake by judging performance on dating apps based on NUMBERS of matches/dates. Because most of us only need one person in the end. So, goal wise, it is much more advantageous to get 2-3 quality matches rather than 100 poor ones, because we have actually more chances to end up in a satisfying relationship in the first case.

    • @NelsonGuedes
      @NelsonGuedes 22 дня назад +1

      Yeah, but unfortunately the matches are only first step in the process. After that, you still have to go on a date, and most women on dating apps are not interested in going on dates. I had about 20 matches in total in my app and I got 1 date out of those 20 matches.

    It's also worth noting that women use them less than men. You have more competition than in more "natural" environment like, idk, some kind of knitting club. And obviously the kind of women who use those apps tend to care about your looks. That's why they use them
    Solution: join a some kind of organisation where you can become friends with bunch of people. You might find a partner among them or through them. Because you spend a lot time with them they no longer see you through simply aesthetics but rather through your personality
    Another important tipp - you're not competing against just other men. You're also competing against women's peace. If you can't bring anything good to their lives they'll more likely to stay single. Why get involved in a relationship when it only brings more mess to deal with?

    I actually had decent success with dating apps and I'm not an attractive person. That wall of text, helps. It helps when you're able to actually put down interests, hobbies, musical tastes, general views about things, and let whoever is reading get an idea as to who you are so they can decide as to whether or not you might get along.
    Plus, I only attempted to contact women who also had a wall of text for me to go over so I could tell whether or not we'd get along.
    And even if most didn't last past the initial conversation, sometimes they did, and those times were good. I dunno. I think the best chances will come from exploring and trying all avenues.

      I think there's still some usefulness for apps if you go for niches. I recieve very few likes but those come from people I'm actually very interested in. Be it for humour, similar vibes... Things I had in my bio that actually reflect my personality, even if that makes me a weirdo for most. I ALSO had good pictures, though that came from starting to want to look nice to myself first, which was a whole other story. Still, apps are hard and they definitely kill your mental health if used carelessly...

It can be interpreted as assurance or just feeding the bias that we shouldnt try which isnt true at all, the people who arent picky on looks are usually the best because theyll actually care about what you want vs what they are looking to get from a relationship.

      This is something that (typically) straight men don't get -- the women they want, want a guy with ambitions, hobbies, and activities that improve themselves (listening to Dr K) and their lives. For the women you are looking for, a cool personality is not enough and honestly I think that's entirely reasonable. A relationship is a partnership -- what do you bring to the table besides a fun personality? Why should this woman spend her life or a portion of her life with you?
      I feel I should preemptively say that my comment is made without malice or annoyance (I have no skin in the game, I have no interest in straight men for anything other than helping my friends who do date straight men). I'm not dissing anybody.

      But that's the problem though. Dating apps are basically "how great are you at having your picture taken," which is about as helpful in figuring how attracted you would be as knowing their DOTA rank. Even in terms of physical appearance, I've heard plenty of stories of women thinking differently of a man as soon as they meet them in person. So if you're someone whose not great at taking selfies (i.e. a ton of guys) or don't have means of getting good pictures, you're at a disadvantage despite that you might be a better partner than those who are not.

      You're no better. None of us are. All of us have lust and desire. People typically call something shitty when it's worse than usual, but this IS the usual. Always has been.
      The way to fix this seems to be to just prevent any photos on all dating apps, so you're truly judging someone based on their personality (or at least, how well they can reduce themselves to 300 characters). But that's unlikely.
      We have too much freedom for our own good. Making such a change would be impeding on the app developers' freedom, and oh boy do we value freedom in the West.

      Basing who you choose to enter romantic relationships with based on purely physical attraction will inevitably lead to disaster. It’s much too shallow, there’s no deep connection to sustain the relationship through the difficult times. Also what is the point of a romantic relationship without a deep connection and understanding of each other? At that point you may as well be fucking a stranger. Yes sexual attraction to the other person is fundamental in a romantic relationship but so are other things like emotional connection and love.

    My biggest complaint when i use dating apps (37 f ) is when men would not put effort into the text on the bio! Like yeah looks are great but i want to see personality! One person i resonded to bc he had a photo of obi wan and annikan stripping, hysterical and badly photoshopped.
    Yes, looks are still probably the most important, specially on there, but i wont chat with someone that seems lacking of passion and personality. I also look for signs of self awarness and personal growth.
    Granted, i stopped using apps bc i felt like it kept showing me the same type of person over and over again.

    Dating apps arent making the matches though. The two involved parties are making the match. People are just too vain. Descriptions exists in dating apps but usually people dont want to spend their whole lives with a super cool successful person they arent actually physically attracted to, so they dont bother clicking on it or reading it.
    Apps should start with a description of the person and then click to show an image or only show it if the two parties match, but even then people are just gonna match with everyone just to decline when they see the picture, making it a less time effective version of the old app

  • @ArtichokeHunter
    @ArtichokeHunter 26 дней назад +1

    Hmm, probably part of this is what "doing better" is? I don't get a ton of matches as an unattractive wlw on the ace spectrum, but I still get more than I could actually talk to, and talk to more than I would want to actually date. And the ones I've actually been on dates with have had a lot in common with me, for better and worse. I'm not sure getting a ton of matches if everyone thought I was attractive would actually improve the pool or if it would just be overwhelming and provide more superficial people (which might be find if you're looking for hookups, but work against finding a meaningful connection).
    (I also usually look at the text before the photos, so, not a typical user. But Hinge kinda encourages you to find something about the person you like besides just photos imo.)
    (I would not say I do well on the apps but that's because I can't get past the first few dates, not because of the matches or the photos.)

    The concept of a "nice guy" is seriously overrated. It appears when the self-proclaimed "nice guy" critisizes women for going for looks (which men do even more) and implies that his personality is somehow superior, which it usually isn't, since he's complaining that he's unpopular. Women are wrong and we somehow owe him attention. Very problematic. I've never heard an actual nice guy call himself that.

  • @SnailHatan
    @SnailHatan 26 дней назад +11

    This completely ignores the massive gender difference in outcome. Men are significantly more balanced in who they choose on dating apps. The data is there for everyone to see. Men give even below average women far more chances on dating apps than women give below-average or average men. It’s an enormous difference in who gets swiped right on between men and women. Who men swipe on is very evenly spread between the women on there.
    The best looking men get exponentially (at least one order of magnitude, literally) more matches than the average dude, while all but the least physically attractive women have some matches.
    It seems to be much more about physical attraction for women. They are way more selective in who they swipe on, AND get way more matches.
    (And yes, there are more men than women on Tinder, but it’s only 2:1. Not like 10:1)

      I would note that there's also data that a ton of men on dating apps don't fill out the profile and also don't even have a photo. This helps explain some of the selectivity of women on dating apps - if women reject 25-80% (depends on site/app) of all possible matches due to this issue, then the data looks lopsided.

    • @red_calla_lily
      @red_calla_lily 26 дней назад +4

      Men might swipe on basically every woman - BUT that doesn't mean they are actually interested in meeting them / having a relationship instead of casual sex (if that's what the woman wants). Women select by swiping while men select after matching. Swiping is more honest, at least, compared to the approach of wasting people's time by trying to match every person. What you call "giving a chance" means too often wasting the time of a woman they are actually not interested in (or who they only want for sex).

    Dr. K,
    What's your take on encouraging people to put their MBTI or Emmegram types in their dating profile or social media bios? Since matching with someone is a an exhaustive process of assessing/prospecting with compatability. Just to waste time realizing personality types don't mesh after endless texts back and forth.
    Overall, the 8 cognitive functions are pseudoscience but are useful in getting a general understanding of someone.
    I hate the dating apps, cause it's wow. You are attractive. But man, your personality is not for me. Next.
    As an ENFJ, dating and connecting behind a screen doesn't work for me.
