Why do dating apps frustrate so many people — especially men?
The answer isn’t psychology. It’s mathematics.

Most dating platforms have a heavily unbalanced user base: far more men than women.
This creates a skewed market where demand vastly exceeds supply.
Economically, that leads to increased competition, lower match probabilities, and a Pareto distribution where a small percentage of men receive most interactions.

This short explains the basic math behind why dating apps feel broken — and why it’s not your fault.
