I don't think men are wrong to say that the experience of being heterosexual man on tinder or similar sucks ass. Spending hours on an app getting rejected on an industrial scale can't be a fun experience, and I don't think we need to minimise that.
Significantly less chance of getting murdered though, gotta remember to keep that in perspective. Yes women are industrially rejecting you, but you're probably not getting murdered, or sexually assaulted.

It's the difference between a guy saying "Dating apps suck, they're really dehumanising for everyone" and "Dating apps suck because those DAMN WOMEN never respond to me even though I'm the perfect guy."

who wouldn't delight in sitting on a crumb-coated couch while listening to a man's favorite Rogan episode while he psyches himself up enough spontaneously lurch his mouth and abdomen at you like a waxy grub worm.

Okay but being a shit date isn't really the issue is it? Because like, that's just being on a shit date. Most people on dating apps aren't going to be great dates. Men going on a date with women also risk a shit date, women going on dates with women risk shit dates, men going on date with men risk shit dates. If that was the sole defining problem for women, risking having a bad date, then men would be 100% right to say that this is a system skewed heavily in women's favour.

You risk men. Like you're opening yourself up to hundreds of men. As a woman. That's a threat. Like you're taking a risk.

These guys view women as objects, but in a sense they also see other men as objects and assume it's the same for women. Obviously there are exceptions but I think the "who cares what kinda of person they are they're hot" is far more common with cis men specifically.

Circling back to that post on here yesterday that said tinder is "a buffet of cocks" for women.

i guess it's catchier than calling it a buffet of unsolicated dick pics

[–] Tabitha@hexbear.net 21 points 1 week ago

more like, a mob of cocks, all aimed at you, most of them hiding a knife

if you photoshop jeff cumblume into being a pile of shit (so it's one pile of shit dehumanizing the other), it'd be a lot more realistic.

to paraphrase a genocidal imperialist, "the worst form of government except for all the other ones."

How does the saying go? Men are in the desert, women are in the ocean, and both are dying of thirst?

I could understand online dating before the okcupid buyout and the demolition of craigslist personals, but now I don't get what the upside is. I guess it's a race between the enshittification of online space and public space and the platforms still pose less perceived friction in comparison?

[–] ClownPrinceofFools@hexbear.net 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Sounds like Grindr lol Empty profiles with a first message only expressing that they want you. No I don't care I can ask you anything, stop talking like this is a datingsim where you win by not giving the wrong answers. The all you can eat dick buffet was not all it was cut out to be

[–] eldavi@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 week ago

the queer version of this meme is more fascinating: there's an logarithmic curve on the apps -- especially grindr -- where it indeed is an endless ass buffet if you're a conventionally attractive top who knows how to be photogenic, but not as much if you prefer bottoming.

to be clear though, being a photogenic & attractive bottom will still get you several fold more dick than an average looking person and i suspect that, that logarithmic delta would blow most people's minds -- it's literally about over a dozen sex partners in a single night where average people consider just 1 to be a successful night.

The trouble with stabbing yourself in the eyeballs is the stabbing of yourself in the eyeballs. Don't like it? Then don't do it.
