Recently, a person named Jen sparked an intriguing digital discussion by asking men about their challenges in online dating. The responses were both eye-opening and surprising. While women have their own set of hurdles in the world of virtual dating, it appears men face their own unique difficulties as well.
Within online dating apps, most women chase a minority of men, meaning one lucky man is spoilt for choice. Meanwhile, the majority is fighting over the minority of ladies.
Having spoken to several male friends about their online record, she is shocked to see they “can hardly even get matches, let alone first dates.” Furthermore, she considers her friends good-looking, nice guys, making it even more heartbreaking.
“The user base on most of those apps is eighty-percent male,” reveals the first commenter, aware of how unfair the ratio is. “That alone should be a hint there’s going to be a big difference.”
Tragically, many guys face the fact that mainstream dating apps contain female subscribers only looking for cash. “A lot of the profiles had money icons as part of their profile,” concedes a commenter who recently traveled to a South American country.
“From my past experience,” shares another commenter with a history of trying and failing to meet his queen, “a lot of them seem to have delusions of finding their unicorn/Prince charming.” Sorry, “unicorns,” did you say?
Others in the thread reveal how most of their friends have given up because of the bitterness they are perceiving. “Don’t forget about the guys who just give up and abandon their accounts,” argues someone with more than a hint of irony.
