So make men make the first move, and put him in the position of "Is this chick interested in me at all for anything or does she just want a free dinner?"

Look, the only solution to this is to make dating illegal and prostitution mandatory. Men want sex, women want money. So let's kick this bullshit power play nonsense in the head, stop pretending love exists, and put the fucking price tag back on.

You might have a selection bias problem. That is, since you are only interested in sex, women probably pick up on that and the people who agree to go on dates with you are the informal sex workers.

I've never once installed a dating app on my phone in my entire life, so...nope. I'm on the outside of this one looking in.

How do you determine what you're reading is accurate?

External consistency. Read something here, something there, they're congruent, those two sources support each other. Then keep doing that.

Divorce rates are skyrocketing, the number of young people who have never had any kind of relationship is skyrocketing, dating apps are going bankrupt, birth rates are plunging, the children that are being born aren't being raised, and it's fundamentally the same reason why there are multiple active genocides going on right now: People are hateful.

And how are you selecting this literature? And are you discarding anything that doesn't agree with what you've read, or do you keep it aside as a possible alternate theory?

And you are stating a lot of facts, but I don't know how they establish your argument that all women want is money.
