I'm in my late 30s, and I did the vast majority of my cold approaching in the mid to late 2000s, before tinder existed. I went for sub4 women and was still rejected. I tried not only cold approaching, but also social circle game, and was set up on a few blind dates. Still a KHV.
A lot of youngcels talk about tinder like it created hypergamy but I can tell you that hypergamy always existed. It's a part of sexual selection. Men are not only the ones with vastly higher libidos, but males are also the romantics. We'll happily give the ugly or fat woman a chance, but so will much better looking men. Men are just a lot more interested in women then women are in men. That's why men happily date down. That's why marriage is the man spending large amounts of money on an engagement ring and getting on his knee to ask for a woman's hand in marriage, while women are the ones who file for divorce 80 percent of the time. Men just want women more than women want men, and nothing will ever solve this disparity.
Tinder just made things more obvious. Tinder stats prove the blackpill so much that blackpill deniers have to claim that "tinder isn't real life" as if all of the people on tinder exist in a vaccum and don't really exist in real life. Of course we also know the stats that show most couples meet online these days, but most blackpill deniers don't even want to address these statistics. It's so bad and so obvious you can't even spin the numbers, so they just rely on non-sequiturs like "but I totally know a very real 4'8 bald ugly guy who works at Wendy's and has a hot gf" or they just resort to ad hominem (usually just calling you an incel and saying you have a bad personality).
