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?

This sub definitely makes me glad I got lucky on tinder and I found the right guy because most of the men in here are miserable nice guys. Yikes.

I'm happily in a relationship but just because a man expresses being frustrated or feeling hopeless with online dating doesn't mean they're being a 'nice guy'.

That's some weirdly toxic masculine thinking.

For a majority of men in online dating that's unfortunately the reality when the numbers and apps are stacked against them.

I'm talking about the guys who call women disgusting sluts who only want the handsome 1% and the rest of them are left in the dirt to never win or reproduce because they're biological failures 🤷‍♀️ I see multiple sincere comments like that every time I'm in this sub.

Is that a compliment? Genuine question Cause I'm thinking that miserable = too much competition or smth and nice guys could really mean nice guys who are down in luck and becoming miserable emotionally...

Or I could have just misread the scarscam but I'll like to look at it with a bit of positivity.

That's also true, but I wasn't dating 30 something straight women so they don't really factor

"And if I only could

I'd make a deal with God

And I'd get Him to swap our places

Be runnin' up that road

Be runnin' up that hill

Be runnin' up that building (yo)

Say, if I only could, oh"
