The League is Stupid

Joined The League about a month ago. The premise is great, and you certainly see girls with more focus on career/education. So in that regards, it's a victory. Yet, the entire premise around likes and count is ridiculous. For those that don't know, The League gives you 3 profiles to swipe right or left on. If it's a match, you have like 14 days to chat until the profile disappears. The catch is that you only get 3 a day. Moreover, unless you spend like $199+, you can't do anything about the people that have like you but you haven't seen. 

Enter me. I'm sitting on 20+ women in my "liked you" profile that I can see but do nothing about because I'm not forking over $299 a fucking week. Even better is that none of them have appeared in my daily 3. In other words, The League is doing a great job spinning your dopamine at the thought that you might get a match. 

 

Agreed. You want to hear something crazy? If you put 50 men and 50 women on a dating app, 46 women will pay attention to just 4 men, leaving 46 men chasing 4 women. If dating was a country, it would be as unequal as Venezuela.

Alright bro let’s chill with the jordan Peterson bullshit. No worse quality in a guy than self pity.

 

I was one of the early members of League when it first launched. It was awesome initially because the member pool was small and highly curated. Now, it's just a worse version of Hinge, in that it has a lot of people but it limits the number of profiles you can see and has an outrageously expensive subscription business. Definitely not worth it. 

Dating apps in general are pretty bad. Highly competitive, lot of ghosting & flaking, and you have to go through tons of volume before potentially meeting someone you want to be in a relationship with. 

 

True. Plus once you start meeting people and have received good number of matches, it's hard to be exclusive because you don't want to lose all the other potential matches that you might meet (or are in the process of meeting). It's like gale-shapley algorithm, but you always get unstable matches because both you and your match have higher quality matches that you both want to convert, so having anything stable feels like a gamble when something better is possible (mostly lookswise on dating apps)

 

I have the League and don't pay for it. I have met up with one chick from there.

How many matches/dates do you average on other apps?

Tinder is the only other app I use. I get a few matches per week, but only select 1/40 people so am quite selective.

If you are a man trying to use a dating app to seriously meet women, I pity you. Unless you happen to be Chris Hemsworth, you are wasting your time and money. 

I know a ton of guys who have met girlfriends or spouses on dating apps.

Sounds like the problem is you, not the app...
