>When women are picking a man for marriage, probably the number one quality in a mate is existing or potential income/wealth.

Wasn't that always true, though? No parents were hoping for their daughter to marry a broke guy in the 80s. And most women wanted a rich guy to marry.

Besides, the percentage of American women married is steady since the 2010s [1]. If dating apps are having that much of an effect, we would see a decline, right?

EDIT: I researched about USA because I thought we are American. If that is not the case, search for the numbers of your country

>You are more attractive than you realise. I say that with no hate. You are probably above an average looks guy. You got a good haircut, cleaned-up your skin, got decent clothes, then took good photos. Millions of truly average men have tried this with little to no effect.

I really wish I could send you some pictures of me. If you saw them, I REALLY doubt that you would say that I'm above average in looks. And I'm not being modest here, I'm truly aware of my standing, looks-wise. I know that is a dumb metric, but my average score in Photofeeler was 5~6. That said, I recognize that my current sense of style is better than most men in my country.
