truly. Go on any dating apps. You will get 999+ likes which is inconceivable to even fathom in just a few hours. Yes, it's quality over quantity, but with this many options, there is surely at least 50 quality guys you'll at least consider. Now glossing over the 50 profile you'll probably compare, share them with your girlfriends, get their opinions and wither that number down to maybe 10. Out of the 10 maybe 2-3 might not respond. Now you're down to 7. You can either wither that further down by being very picky about the smallest thing like you don't like how he smiles in the picture, or he isn't as tall or educated as the others, whatever. At least you'll have 1-2 you might go on a date with , and this is someone YOU CHOSE who also CHOOSES YOU. Yes, you might have to worry about safety or whether his intention is just get sex, but most times you guys go on date see if there is chemistry and if he is a genuine guy. You meet at some public venue, you make sure you have your gf on speed dial. Like anything you just need to be precautious and most guys will be upfront if he wants sex. Why waste all his energy planning dates when you make it clear you don't want sex. It's a waste of time for him (given he will likely pay for first date). Unless there is chemistry then sex is mutual, which I don't see why women will complain about him only after sex and all guys are bad...

Men, on the other hand don't get that many options, so likely he'll consider you for a date. You don't really need to worry about his rejection, because even if he does reject you, you have a few more options as backup. His inbox is mostly empty and he has zero options.

Same with real life. If he goes out to meet someone at a place he enjoys going to like a meetup group, it is not in his best interest to go around hitting on girls because he'll be perceived as this guy and everyone i the meet group will disown him. So he has to be coy and just keep attending and treat everyone the same. There is no real good way about asking a women out in this atmosphere without others knowing or being talked about. For women it is just very easy to just stay silent, have the guy do all the work and decide whether to reject or accept.

I really do not understand why women are even single when they have life handed to them on a silver platter in terms of dating and finding a viable partner. How are women still single at 30 and desperate. No idea.
