My understanding of 'Dating Apps' is very simple.
Legalized prostitution in places where is not legalized.
Think about this, the average man will NOT get a 'date' there, but the average 7/10 or the 'average' woman will.
Thus you have a platform that is directly aimed for casual sex and not dating, at all, anybody who is using these apps 'successfully' is either a betabuxxer taking pics in front of his BMW or [insert expensive car in country].
Then women, who easily benefit from said 'Dating Apps', in short you are stupid for trying these things if you don't have the basics, which is a vagina, looks or money.
I once saw a literal nerd complaining on Reddit that he had zero matches, he straight up put on his bio that he was a NEET, c'mon man.
