Fair enough.

Thinking further, "using a dating platform meaningfully"(often paying) you would expect some level of service from that platform.

Assumptions often are: - dating service members represent all of society, IE "Everyone is doing it!"

- someone out there is for me, I just have to find them"

- paying this business will result in them helping me. People get dates on there all the time!

And so paying for a service resulting in zero dates is a pretty poor result.

Hence it is less, "women should want him" IE relationship between him and women. And more, "I am paying for a service that doesn't work!" which is about the relationship between him and dating platform.

Ultimately I think the original assumptions are wrong, likely skewed because of dating platform marketing. Who would've thought marketing causes problems in society!
