Always very good to be critical. I read these stats in Elise Bohan's book. As she has a PhD in evolutionary macrohistory I didn't think twice to double check her. So you caught me on that point:) . Now for some due diligence.

Let's look at the data. Agreed, the 2015 article should simply be discarded. But more stats are now available and some are put into context here > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XokiTk4JGVw and here *

These data does show:

- men to women ratio on Apps like Tinder is 2:1 or higher. Women can be pickier.

- the winner takes all. The top 10% of both men and women take nearly all the swipes. But more is left over for the women's rest percentile and next to none is left for the men's.

- women judge 80% of men (on the App) as being below average. They are much harsher in their judgement than the men are of the women.

So it's fair to say that 80% of men on Tinder (at least) have little to no chance. Equal to roughtly the chances the bottom 20% of the women have. Is that why these women too end up in places like Haiti and Kenya? :)

Perhaps this only shows that the use of these Apps should be more questioned. As every system always has its very own dynamics, internal logic and risks. That much is now quite clear.
