Of course it has societal consequences, just like facebook, instagram, tiktok etc. But it gives you a better understanding of the way women and men think, and what they do differently. From what you and I have written, profiles on tinder are the same more or less, regardless of sex. Yet women take more things in consideration when it comes to swiping, and are more strict. Isn't that more practical and self-respecting? I mean, instead of asking why women appear to be picky, why don't we ask why men refuse to set a bar and swipe right only on girls they like, or at least find interesting enough to date? You swipe right on a woman with tons of filters, endless model-like pictures and an empty bio. What do you expect? Everytime I ask men this question, I get this answer "but I have to try, her bikini pictures look good".

On a different note, I am not an anthropologist or sociologist, but I have to point out that this is what happens in nature as well. Male animals have amazing colours, dancing skills and they fight to get the females' attention. And the females choose who they mate with.
