Quoted from an article written by a woman about social costs of online dating: https://www.firstthings.com/web-exclusives/2021/10/the-social-cost-of-online-dating

Tinder can be a fun group activity, where drunk friends open one friend’s account and start swiping left and right. One student admitted, “I don’t go on it to date; I go on it to build my own confidence.”

The author doesn't indicate the sex of the student who said that, probably because she doesn't need to. Pay close attention to that sentence and learn this crucial lesson: most women on dating apps aren't looking for relationships or even hookups, they are only seeking attention. As a man, you are wise to avoid becoming the fuel of the attention economy surrounding young women. It evaporates fast and attractive women can get validation almost anywhere, not only from the betas in their life but from Instagram, Tinder, and OnlyFans.

Don't be a validation cuck. Be the man that says and does things that she can't get from turning on her phone.
