This. Women now have literally thousands of options at the palms of her hand. There is no reason to content themselves with the average guy from college or work anymore if she can easily land a date with a better man through Tinder.

I remember that famous phrase coined by Marshall McLuhan, "the medium is the message". Tinder, and dating apps in general, completely changed the way human sexuality works, even if most people aren't on them, the effects "trickle-down". In a way, it works just like socialist critics of neoliberalism accuse the economy of working under laissez faire conditions, the more freedom a market has to operate, the more resources are concentrated, accumulated in a few hands, simply because fewer people have the conditions and capacities to compete in a completely free market. It works the same way for human sexuality, the erosion of traditional organs of society such as churches and clubs that could be venues for social interaction, the decrease in the social acceptability of workplace romances and the appearance of dating apps have greatly increased the availability of possible mate choices, specially for women, and since female sexuality is hypergamous they are all choosing the same guy, the ones incels call Chad.

Tech takes, tech gives. Only sexbots and virtual reality can end the suffering of young men. We won't go back to the days of dating being available for sub-8/10 guys.
