This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Then perhaps we should expect changes/shifts in women's behavior to bridge the gap?

I don't think that cultural evolution is happening - look at Bumble, which had its premise/differentiation with women making the "first move." They eventually had to nix the feature, because...women didn't want to make the first move; they wanted to be pursued. Meanwhile, apps in general are just a minefield of emotional rejection, while Corporate ownership drags men through the muck as long as possible to get those $$$. So most men simply stop using apps and simply wait for some kind of IRL meet-cute. And that sparingly happens in a society that has very, very few places for non-commercial social overlap.

Commercial dating apps are a failed idea. We need something better

4chan funded their own dating app. It was alright.

Then they get to step up and approach men for a change.

well then they should step up and start asking people out instead of waiting for guys to do it.
