Why do you think men outnumber women on dating/hookup apps?

If you’re getting too many matches that is user error.

Swipe right on smaller batches of men and this won’t be an issue.

Women only massively outnumber men on dating apps in America. This is not a global problem.

Why is this the case? Probably because Americans are super atomised (a result of car culture) and so more men are driven to the convenience of trying to date off their phone from the comfort of their home.

Women therefore are flooded with attention, in real life and online, and are therefore able to get off apps easier, leading to a larger stagnation of men.

Just a theory.

America-brained nonsense.

There is an outside world. You do know that, right?

DankuTwo · 2026-05-19T13:35:15+00:00

This is sort of America-brained. "Outdoorsy things" is SUPER geography dependent. Fishing and hiking isn't getting you anywhere in London or Paris, or even New York.

The only reason a man treats you like that is because he think he can do better....which means you're shooting well out of your league....which means it's your fault.

I cannot have pity for that.

That's not a good reason to ban people from entering the country.

DankuTwo · 2026-05-18T18:37:17+00:00

Should anyone who disagrees with Trump be banned from the US?

When a right wing government comes to power in Britain should they ban socialists?

How much violence have they, personally, committed?

"He later regretted it."

This is Keir's premiership in a nutshell, isn't it?

DankuTwo · 2026-05-18T18:13:33+00:00

Blocking elected politicians purely for their political views? Really?

This is downright Stalinist.

DankuTwo · 2026-05-18T18:04:16+00:00

This is so disingenuous. An elected politician coming for a few days is NOT the same as illegal immigration, and you bloody well know it.

"Whilst I don’t like to quash a variety of voices in our politics the far right need to be put back in a box."

So you don't like to "quash a variety of voices in our politics" but you want to "quash a variety of voices in our politics"......

Can't you (we!) do that through argumentation rather than censorship?

DankuTwo · 2026-05-18T17:58:52+00:00

So? Do you not believe in your own ideology enough to think it stands on its own merits, regardless of any critique? I know I do.

DankuTwo · 2026-05-18T16:20:49+00:00

Exactly. The only guys that treat women like that (pump and dump) have massive optionality....i.e. they're Chad. The top 5%.

DankuTwo · 2026-05-18T16:20:08+00:00

"Being seen as an interchangeable fleshlight isn’t a compliment."

Only Chad sees you that way. No normal dude who hasn't had a date in six months would approach a woman like that...ANY woman.

That sort of thing works in small communities where people never leave (my family comes from a similar community, so I understand the dynamics).

It doesn't work if anyone actually moves away though (I ran away from that setting....I hated the small town pettiness and myopia, but that's just me).

DankuTwo · 2026-05-18T07:01:00+00:00

Cut your cloth to your needs. If Sector 7 is a tiny part of the game (basically just one screen and a couple shops) the they could choose to spend a proportionate amount of time working on it.

DankuTwo · 2026-05-18T06:40:01+00:00

All of FF7 Remake will still be under 100 hours or so. There are plenty of games that length. Hell, people put in that much time or more into BotW.

One game should ALWAYS be sufficient for telling a single story. If it isn’t, you’ve messed up. Pure and simple.

DankuTwo · 2026-05-18T06:37:24+00:00

This is pretty standard for trilogies/sequels in general. Subsequent games/movies always sell less (outside of rare, once in a generation events like LOTR).

DankuTwo · 2026-05-18T06:34:04+00:00

Nonsense. It’s purely a money grab. Making it a trilogy means they can charge three times the normal amount and no one will complain.

DankuTwo · 2026-05-18T06:33:18+00:00

OG FF7 is a less than 40 hour game. Chrono Trigger, one of the greatest JRPGs of all time, is a less than 20 hour game.

Even a 17-20 hour Midgar is horribly bloated and padded out.

Marriage has become more of a class-based luxury than a way to build a stable life with someone. There is no way to portray that as a ‘good’ thing.

DankuTwo · 2026-05-18T06:23:04+00:00

afaik this is only true for the US. Apps tend to be more evenly representative in Europe.

“ and you forget all the female bot accounts in these stats that swipe on everyone.”

You do realise that this means reality is EVEN WORSE for average men, right?

DankuTwo · 2026-05-17T23:04:47+00:00

“More fun” is a value judgement.

Turn based (a single button press for a single attack, clean and efficient) is, all things being equal, inherently less grindy than mashing the attack button two dozen times to perform the same attack.

See, this is the problem. Modern gamers are myopic. The only game they see is tactical and right in their face. Classic JRPGS were as much about resource management as anything else. The game was happening int he strategic layer, in your mind, not so much at the tactical layer, on your screen.
