I recently saw a video that pointed out that most men ok dating apps swipe right on a majority of women while women swipe right on barely any men. The conclusion the woman running the channel was a kind of "both sides need to be less extreme" solution.

I can see some cases where it might make sense for a woman to be a bit less selective, like if she's not getting any matches that respond because the few men she likes have plenty of options.

However, there's a reason that men aren't more selective on dating apps. They can't afford to be! The same video pointed out that women are both significantly outnumbered and far more selective on dating apps. Of course most men are going to swipe right on most women. As is, the vast majority of men get little to no matches, and the matches they get are unlikely to be matches respond. Even fewer will lead to dates.

If a man doesn't get matches, how is being MORE selective supposed to help? This advice has never made sense to me.
