See, here's the thing about OLD. We assume the dating apps are to match us with similar minded people. But when I think hard about how a business works, successful matches would destroy the business of getting people together. So I know since the gender ratio is skewed, there are so many bots to keep pornsick scrotes busy and occupied. And the men figure it out rather quickly because the bots don't give them the perfomative emotional labor they're so used to getting from women. And a lot of scam artists pretend to be women too, so then actual women are treated even worse because the men are already conditioned to act like asshats to robots. Not that they don't see us as interchangeable already.

I did research on Ashley Madison and was transparent about what I was doing: trying to interview men about why they were on there. And the gross scrotes were very forthcoming. Once they knew an actual woman was on the site, it was like a shark smelling blood in the water, and I was drowning in messages. And of course, my interest was academic, but scrotes gotta scrote. 🙄

Someone suggested I make this into a post.

I suspect if women just stayed off of the apps we could reverse the trend of lazy scrotes treating us like a Dine and Dash. But libfems probably view the attention as empowering.

Thoughts?
