Women are paying a high price in the online dating world. It’s preying on their weakness the same way porn does for men.

Most women don’t want to sleep around and have a large number of partners. But tinder leads them to believe that they can find an unrealistic partner. And they get hurt by the small percentage of men that play the online dating game well.

Women need a lot more data and time to evaluate a potential partner before initiating contact.

I think a solution would be to limit the number of matches one could have at a time. This forces the user to sacrifice something (the opportunity cost of matching with someone else) to remain in contact with their match.

Real humans don't make relationship decisions based on data analysis.

Age, income, height, weight, number of kids, attractiveness scale (1-10).

My experience with Tinder was that all the women I met turned out to be more interested in hooking up than anything else. Is there an app for people who don't even really want to sleep with each other, but would prefer to just hang out and talk? I want to use that one.

Try going to meetups, that way you know everyone there has something in common to talk about to break the ice.

Maybe women are paying the price, bit it is men on HN who complain and bitch constantly. Most women are not on tinder anyway.

That’s incorrect, online dating is the number one way couples meet
