Attraction Inequality and the Dating Economy

Couple of points:<p>1. Not clear how likes proxy to &quot;success&quot; in terms of dating. Some people are just looking for one night stands, while another might be looking for something more long term. If women are consistently looking for something long term, and have to get to at least the third&#x2F;fourth&#x2F;x-th date to have a &quot;success&quot;, then it makes sense for them to be pickier than men who only are looking for the first date.<p>2. Not clear how this extends out into the general &quot;Dating Economy&quot;, it&#x27;s quite possible that there is a certain pathological case of people who get stuck in the dating sphere for an extended period of time who end up distorting the statistics. Compare this to the fact that 50% of marriages end in divorce, but that&#x27;s mostly driven by people who get divorced multiple times, and first marriages have a much higher success rate. Among people who actually do settle, it may be that women have more inequality in their dating market then men do.<p>3. We&#x27;re not mentioning that women aren&#x27;t swiping as much because for them there is a serious fear of being assaulted when going on a date, while for a man that is greatly diminished.

I am glad that gender dynamics is finally being explored by mainstream readers. Men seem to have the onus on them to try and understand courting women-- What women look for, how to please them. The reverse does not seem to be true, at least in my experience.<p>Women don&#x27;t seem interested in figuring out how to court men&#x27;s commitment (probably because they assume they don&#x27;t have to). Unfortunately for women though, it seems men are less and less interested in marriage these days. Probably due to the unbalanced legally binding financial consequences for men, despite supposed &quot;equality&quot;.<p>Perhaps we&#x27;ll see a redistribution of interest on the part of women, in trying to develop themselves into desirable partners, the way men are forced to. For example, men have to obtain resources and use the resources to purchase status signals. In the future, if the trend continues, women may have to demonstrate wifely &amp; motherly skills in order to attract the top echelon men they want.

I feel like this is more related to how Tinder’s algorithm works than people in general.
