Before the internet, you could meet people in social events, at church, at school or at work. Today with the internet, you can meet anyone in the world. You can message dozens of people on Instagram each day and swipe through hundreds of Tinder profiles. But this also creates an over competition between men.

While it's a better strategy to message multiple girls, rather than one or two a day, since that will increase your chances, the more men do the same, the more messages girls get and the more competition increases. The girl feels like she has a lot of options (which is true), so her standards become higher.

Like in any market, where a few companies attracts all the customers and dominate the market, the same happens in dating, with a few men getting lots of girls and the rest getting few.

And it seems like this has become the norm for everyone. It's not a niche thing, it's mainstream. And I know men could try to meet women offline in social events, school, etc. But even then, the girls he meet will be being hit on by guys online too. So is it possible to escape this situation ?
