Quotes from engineer on dating app Hinge:
In that quote, he says 50% of the likes go to "about 15%" of the top men. From the actual Hinge stats published, this appears to be an underestimation. Exact stats from this same Hinge study are here:
Here we see the top 10% of men get 58% of the likes. The top 50% of men get 95.7% of the likes overall. The bottom half of men get only 4.3% of the likes to share.
ie. Half of all the men on these sites must share 4.3% of the likes.
Put another way, a top 1% man gets 190 times as many likes as a bottom 50% man.
This is what it looks like in a graphical form:
Therefore, in the app creator's words: Men are living in a state of inequity that mirrors kleptocracy, apartheid, and perpetual civil war. While women are living in Western Europe.
Here's a simple infographic I made as prompted by the thread. It's not fancy because I don't have access to my usual programs right now. But I think it gets the point across. Feel free to share as widely as you can. This is the cold, hard, distilled blackpill:

"Half of all likes sent [by women] to men go to a much smaller segment – about 15 percent."
"That’s the biggest problem men face on dating apps – the Brad Pitts of the world take the lion’s share of the likes from an already like-deficient sex."
"Every nation in the world has a currency, but that currency is not equally distributed amongst the citizens of every country. These economic inequalities are described using what is called the Gini index. In our context, the closer the Gini index is to 0, the more equally likes are distributed across all of our users; a higher Gini index rating means more likes are being concentrated into fewer recipients."
"It turns out that, as it pertains to incoming likes, straight females on Hinge show a Gini index of 0.376, and for straight males it’s 0.542. On a list of 149 countries’ Gini indices provided by the CIA World Factbook, this would place the female dating economy as 75th most unequal (average — think Western Europe) and the male dating economy as the 8th most unequal (kleptocracy, apartheid, perpetual civil war — think South Africa)."
