I think this is incorrect because it assumes the job offers are equal. My understanding is that it is much more like two chronically unemployed people: the first doesn't get an interview 99% of the time, the second one is 99% only offered MLM job interviews where they're expected to "invest in themselves first" by buying the MLM product aka scams.

I think generally the quality of interactions both sexes have with the opposite sex on these apps is roughly equal.

That said, even by this analogy, that would imply the 1% of the time the first person gets an interview, it is also likely a scam or a non-start 99% of the time.

So the second person is still 100x as likely to find a job as the first person. The market just happens to suck for everyone.
