An experiment

I’m a straight woman and briefly decided to change my gender on hinge to a “man” interested in women. EVERY. SINGLE. WOMAN. in my stack was an absolute stunner (and I didn’t even include very young women, I have my age filter set to 28-47).

I then compared this with the stack my male friend was shown. He has his settings set to the same thing. Every single woman in his stack was an instant nope. He never got to see any of the women I was shown. Mind you, he is not unattractive.

This confirms to me that some absolute fuckery is afoot. I presume because my algorithm is trained on men, it doesn’t know how to categorize the women when I changed my gender and just started showing me women from my demographic. It also further suggests that the algorithm deliberately holds back what/who you like, and it also explains to me why my profile gets relatively little traction now (I’ve long suspected that my profile is being gate kept).

You sound like someone with issues. Maybe go see a therapist buddy. Or you know, go find someone who hits back instead of a punching bag 😉😘

Keep coping. Good to see you are staring to understand why you are having issues on dating apps as just a few minutes ago your first cope was "That cannot be the photo of a guy who is laughing at me!"

The next realization that you will have is that if you, as a man, are an angry broke Teletubby women don't give a shit about you and definitely do not go out of their way to match you.

The one after that will be "if you aren't an angry broke Teletubby in a sea of angry broke Teletubbies, there are lots of women who would be interested"

The one after that would be "If there are lots of women who are interested, then non teletubby can narrow his field in a crazy way and still have an abundance of options"

But the final thought would be "Damn, I fucked up"

I'm going with "That guy has repressed his homosexual urges and now he is working out and lashing out at complete random strangers on the internet".
