If you want to know what I think is causing a “disparity in the dating market,” I’d have to answer with sexism and gender roles. According to gender roles, men are supposed to be the one’s pursuing women, and women are just supposed to hope that the man they like actually ever pursues them. Furthermore, men who practice toxic masculinity (for reference, toxic masculinity isn’t the idea that all “masculine things” are bad, toxic masculinity refers specifically to the toxic behaviors that men are taught to do or not to do. Toxic masculinity includes bottling of emotions, and the encouragement/normalization of violence.) men who practice Toxic masculinity are more violent, and that violence includes sexual assault. I know a number of women who have expressed that they feel unsafe around men, or feeling unsafe being alone, And as of what I’ve actually seen, women don’t actually “date up” if I had to guess why women match with less people on tinder, it’s not just that there are literally less women on tinder (only 1/3 of tinder users are female) but also because of gender roles, and because of caution. And the reasons men do the inverse is because of well, gender roles and a lack of caution.
Incels blaming women is regressive in this regard, they further sexism with their ideas, hence why it is so hard for these people to find dates.
