The Truth About the Tinder Dating App

Tinder dating app was launched in September 2012. It was created by Sean Rad, Justin Mateen, and Jonathan Badeen and founded Tinder.

The three co-founders were students at the University of Southern California in 2012. At that time, they were working on a platform allowing businesses to send their customers gift cards.

The unfortunate truth about Tinder dating and what it means for the people using it was that it was designed and meant for a higher class of people with high social mobility and successful life.

The Tinder app was meant to unite people in the top 20% of American society.

This is not just financial but also cultural, educational attainment and other abilities that makeup what it means to be a high-value person.

This is the case with Tinder dating apps and dating in general people, especially women, who go to hypergamy, where a woman tries to select the top 20% of mating options, leaving 80% of men going without a sexual partner.

Furthermore, what this means is primarily for a dating app like Tinder, which was mainly a sex app in its original configuration, which was tailored for the top 20% of men and women who either hook up or engage in a prosperous relationship.

The adverse effects can be clearly seen by simply going to guard dating, especially if you are a man, or you can set the settings for a man looking for a woman.

As you expand the radius of any dating app, there is a gradual increase in women, particularly young women, who have childcare responsibilities.

If the dating app is used on campus, you will see that most women are not pregnant and available. The conclusion derived from this basic information is that the people attending university are economically well off in America.

(The average cost of attendance for a student living on campus at a public 4-year in-state institution is $26,027 per year or $104,108 over four years. Out-of-state students pay $27,091 per year or $108,364 over four years. Private, nonprofit university students pay $55,840 annually or $223,360 over four years.)

The poorest members of American and other societies are not part of the intelligentsia, and the top 20 to 40% of workers will suffer the most.

It is predominantly working-class women who are suffering because they are the ones who are being saddled with children due to not understanding the nature of the sexual marketplace.

According to the author and writer Louise Perry, the top 20% of men on these dating apps who are young, attractive and of high financial and social status can put off raising a family until their 40s and enjoy the fruits of the sexual revolution by engaging in many sexual activities.

Men and Women in Their 20’s

They have no practical reason to engage in monogamy until later in life because men, unlike women regarding sexual reproduction, have a more extended sell-by date.

Due to the changes in the modern economy and the marketplace, we now spend much longer in universities.

A woman can expect to spend more time in education, which could last until her late 20s, and engage in higher education or other forms.

It will take 2 to 5 years for them to be established in their careers.

By that time, a woman may be in her early to mid-30s and by that time in their lives, they may only have one or two children if they are fortunate due to geriatric pregnancy starting at 35 and reproduction problems that become more propellant past 30.

The best time for a woman to have children is in her 20s, but due to the nature of education, the requirements of the modern workforce and financial concerns, they don’t have this option until their 30s.

Men, on the other hand, in their 20s, are useless because they possess no skills, and by the time they become skilled, they are in their 30s, but they have the option to pursue their careers and look for a younger woman, but even then, there’s no guarantee of success.

It is better for people to marry or start a family with someone from their generation due to similar experiences, growing up in similar cultures and other value systems that facilitate a happy and prosperous union.

With that stated, nothing stops younger men from marrying older women in their late 20s or early 30s because they may wish to start families, and their spouse or life partner will understand it will be a decade for them to be truly established.

This also naturally applies to younger women who want to start families.

It may be optimal to target successful older men who have high value by the social structures or what you value within a relationship and as the fathers of your children.

The downside of both of these scenarios is that there is a strong possibility that the younger man or younger woman may outlive their spouse or life partner.

Regarding women in general, it is crucial to be aware of their hypergamy nature.

It is not to say you should settle or marry somebody or have children because you are desperate, only that it may be more practical to go for younger partners who don’t have financial value.
