Please don't answer "It depends". Say very straight if in your opinion putting a lot of energy into dating apps is something that makes sense for men. I'm not asking if men should just use them, but prioritize them.

In this sub there are basically two kind of answers from women:

1) "no! it's terrible! why would you use something that doesn't work. Most women don't use it. It won't do no good to use an app where the male/female ratio is 3/1. Don't use them!"

=> The problem are the apps who cannot be considered a good way to meet women.

2) "yes! They do work but you have to use them well. I have met my partner/bf/SO/husband/whatever here and you have to [insert tip here] to improve your profile. Most men can't do it!"

=> The problem are the men unable to use them well compared to women.

Another way to put it: are dating apps designed to suck in general or are men's in particular at fault for being bad?
