Why dating is hard (lemmy.world)

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.

A more detailed description:

Provided a card stack system, the dynamic balance of liking vs. skipping tends to stabilize into a state where men like everyone reasonably cute ("to get more chances"). This is also caused by their inability search for a conversation partner in a rational manner, because it's a card stack system. Often enough, all the information you have is a photo, age and city.

This causes women to experience a saturation of likes: everyone likes them. This causes them to be extremely picky about who they like back.

The result: unbalance. Dating sites view women as a "resource" to attract men, and men as customers to be scammed out of money to actually show their profile to someone, once in a while.
