Its like food. Just because there is infinite choice doesn't mean you eat everything you see. Quality trumps quantity every single time imho. Too much choice turns anything into the toothpaste aisle experience. These apps are designed by moron for morons.


we seem to be returning to some sort of harem system, with successful males having access to and perhaps maintaining sexual relations with multiple females. The bottom 20% of each gender might self sort into conjugal pairs, leaving the 'aspirational majority' in a state of persistent dissatisfaction


These data are devastating to Bumble and likely other swipe apps. Basically shows they are explicitly designed like gambling apps.
