Why dating is hard (lemmy.world)
submitted 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
 

Edit: because a few comments make me worry that some are taking this seriously - this meme is a play on the type of hopeless dating posts you might find in less healthy corners of the internet. The joke is a suggestion that the real problem is that one man in the image has some sort of arrow-attracting superpower.

To make this more accurate for modern dating apps, you should keep all the men, but only have like 3 of the women. Dating apps aren't there to get you a match, they're there to convince you that you will get a match...eventually. The money is in creating a feeling that doesn't reflect reality.

This is absolutely how online dating goes. There have been studies that show women always go for the most attractive guys on the site, despite whatever BS they might claim.

Real life, not necessarily.

No, it’s like that irl too. I’m in a dance community and women are routinely all hooking up with the same handful of guys, and then being shocked that they’re not the only one booking up with that guy. It was like that in yoga when I was in yoga too

Have you tried not being unattractive?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

No like I should just start doing yoga. Not trying to rock a codpiece over here.

I just wear the biggest penis gourd I can manage to fit on.

If I do enough yoga, two birds, one stone.

But what's attractive is very subjective especially for women. Yes there are some general things being somewhat fit, decent hygiene, symmetrical proportions but there are plenty of studies that show women find the same man with a wide range of attractiveness vs men who have a much more narrow and agreed upon what is attractive. One thing that's more consistent is appearance of wealth makes men more attractive to most women.

Men are valued for their wealth.

Women are valued for their youth.

It's brutal but that's the general rule of attractiveness.

Men are also valued for their looks. That guy that got a modeling deal right out of prison because women were swooning over him comes to mind.

Bah! The slaverunner society's rules get in the way of everything.

They would not be after wealth if it was evenly distributed!

Same for youth I suppose...

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

I suspect that women have dual mode sexual selection: Either dad material then attractiveness doesn't matter as much as stable personality and material conditions, or someone with attractive exceptional genes. Meanwhile men will only judge by attractiveness but men (including the attractive ones) will still fuck anything.

Basically game theory and the structure of dating apps makes women only be able to select for the first criteria.

This is some incel level manosphere bullshit recruitment material.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

The OG is, this is edited and is made to mock the OG.

If every incel could get an arrow to the knee, they would be cured
