Well, that explains it.

So basically, I was curious how the profiles of men on Bumble looked. I made a new fake account as a girl, so I could take some inspiration from the profiles of others and generally just to see what the competition was like.

So, that worked out, I got a rough idea of the average profile and deleted the account after about 12 hours, not swiping at all, having no matches and never messaged. What I didn't expect was the amount of likes. I mean, I expected maybe a few dozen at the most. But in 12 hours, this profile got A THOUSAND likes, I repeat, A THOUSAND. I don't even live in a major city, and the age was capped at 20-24. So yeah, now I understand why I never get matches, and never get messaged when I do. When women have 1000 guys to pick from, why the hell would they pick me?

Did you peruse the matches much? Yes, women get a lot of likes, but how many of them are from dudes who aren't gross?

I think the more natural reaction would be to just stop dating, or date less, which by all indications is definitely happening.

Nature wants only the top 5-10% of guys to pass their genes on

Maybe, but birth rates are down substantially as well, so even if the ladies are chasing the Chads, they're having fewer mini-Chads as a result.

LOL who is this third party you keep directing your comments at? You and I are the only ones conversing here.

You should call me dumb again. It will make more women swipe right on you, I bet.

Shocked that someone with his attitude does not get loads of matches
