a society that is willing to make millions of innocent men suffer for the gossip of some woman, and they also think that we are in a patriarchy

They're not being sued enough, that's the problem.

Peak investigative journalism is going online and reading "he's a liar/cheater/narcissist/etc" from anonymous sources. Then crawling into the depths of telegram and assuming that the male equivalent of AWDTSG is inherently evil

Simple. Men start doing this exact same thing and they’ll get shut down, which SHOULD trigger shutting down their site

I don't understand how they can't realise this completely breaks dating. You are no longer dating one woman who might tell a couple of her friends something awkward you did or a personal story showing weakness or a secret that they may unfairly take to be a red flag that information could be shared with dozens, hundreds or thousands. You have no ability to correct lies, misinterpretions, misunderstanding or slander. Just their version of the interaction with all the biases that may come with it is now "truth".

How will any guy want to open up on dates, feel free to be themselves without receiving judgement at a higher level and take chances in the name of love.

There is huge harm being done by these groups both directly and indirectly and men will be committing suicide in part due to lies being told about them on these. The show seems to find all the reasons these shouldnt exist as if stumbling through the dark given the host's naivity with how obvious the issues are.

The angles are always one sided.

If you ask women if they feel like makeup, push up bras, yoga pants with a back center seam designed to make their butt cheeks pop out is a form of compensating they will say no. Then when baked into a corner, they admit it is compensating but add, "But society makes them feel like they need to!"

But when people talk about men -

The bar to label a man is compensating is extremely low. A man drives a car he likes and that is twisted into "compensating."
You point out society makes men feel like they need to and suddenly that isn't a valid reason and the men are just labeled "pathetic".

A woman will be standing there with her boobs forced so far up - they make the letter U, so much makeup she looks like she is wearing a mask, and a pair of yoga pants a size too small, and she will see a man drive some basic car he likes and say, "He's compensating so hard right now."

It's all arbitrary nionsense.

Lol, the dark side of dating as seen by the eyes of women who only date Chad's or guys whom they think they can mooch a free meal out of...

EVERY WOMAN'S NIGHTMARE...

Aren't swipe left/right dating apps funneling women to the same small number of hookup chads in their town? Didn't we know that already?

From the 6.5's to 10's when straight women hook up they do it with top tier men because women are pickier than men when they just need to bust a nut.

It's why semi-somewhat-bisexual lonely men say it's a wildly different experience going from Tinder to Grindr. Suddenly you're funny, charming, handsome (because a gay dude just wants to bust a nut)

Channel 4 is garbage. The only remotely good show is 24 hours in police custody. This crap is frequent.
