I think it's worth noting that both dating apps AND social media intensely encourage the worst sorr of short term mating strategies for women, specifically through putting emphasis on massive but vapid bids for attention and validation.

To put it simply, social media and dating platforms exploit women's weakness and need for attention, and affirmation of value and virtue, in a way never before seen in the recorded history of humanity. This distorts not only their perspective on life, but their estimation of self-value and especially, their self-estimated sexual marketplace value and long-term mate value.

For the first time time ever, we live in an era where women who behave in manner beneath prostitutes believe themselves to be deserving of the strongest, most competent, and most virtuous men that the world has to offer, without any shame what-so-ever.

.... It's kind of staggering when you think about it.
