I don't want to come across like I'm too down on online dating. I've done it before. It's a good way to meet people, and meeting dates through online sites seems to be gaining in popularly. And guys can learn the same important lessons about dealing with rejection through the online dating process. I was just saying this thing where the process is nearly automated seems like it might have unintended social consequences. I could be wrong.

I hear you, though. You're probably running into millennial narcissism. I don't want to be mean (in this instance), but dumpy chicks with incredibly high standards are ridiculous. But I've seen it myself. Every woman under 30 seems to think she's entitled to date only Hollywood model CEOs who travel to Europe for a living. I'm sure the guys are no better.

Online (and regular) dating is much easier in big cities than in smaller ones, but it's still hard. Persistence is the key. You just gotta cast a reasonably wide net, write actual messages to women you find interesting (because they all think they're special snowflakes, even though most won't even partially match your show of effort by responding at all), and make a decent profile.

Of course it's bad for society, it tips the balance of power toward women even more. Already bad enough that they can do whatever they want, say whatever they want, and take whatever drugs they want while men are stuck on a hamster wheel of debt and never being good enough. It's like only women are people
