>>18792992The problem is that girl-on-the-internet syndrome has only worsened now that a phone is now the barrier for entry on dating sites/apps, let alone the internet. You don't need to type something meaningful or take decent pictures that you'll transfer to your computer, you can just hit an app store up for Tinder/Okcupid/Bumble/etc and get hundreds of likes with a selfie and extremely brief profile, which is nothing but keywords for a mysterious algorithm, and men enable this simply because thousands of them in any given area are THAT hard-up to date nowadays. The idea that men "settle" for fat girls died years before Okcupid ever put this article out. 99% of men that've been stuck on dating sites for a decade would be thrilled to date a fat (which they're redefining as THICC) girl

There are plenty of memes showcasing how bothering women in public like this is a gateway into harassment; rape, since you're initiating this purely on attraction, leaving apps your only option if you're not something who can pull public approaches off, see: that She Hulk bar scene that was being spammed endlessly
tl;dr shit's fucked because men - historically a sex that'll fuck anything - have been cornered by society to now fuck anything even harder to the point of literally and figuratively inflating women's egos. They've ousted their "average" male peers that realistically would've been dating these basic bitches in a healthier dating environment, there is no one for the average guy anymore unless it's a single mom or addict that previously wasted her life on one of the retards that'll fuck anything
