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.
For the same cost you can join multiple gyms and clubs and meet someone there. The value proposition for guys in the dating app market sounds like a scam.
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.
46 of the men will pay attention to 4 of the women too. It works both ways
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.
Have buddies that met their SOs on dating apps.
My aunt and uncle met on The Onion’s dating site. Married with kids for 15 years now.
I know a ton of guys who have met girlfriends or spouses on dating apps.
Sounds like the problem is you, not the app...
Something like 50% of couples meet on the apps these days. How the world works now... boomer.
If you’re using apps to just hook up, yea it’s expensive.
But if you’re trying to find a quality wife, spend a little money you cheap skate.
Its a cringe elitist money grab but I've had some solid matches on it. Just do your 3 swipes a day and use it as another option. Tons of overlap with Hinge chicks from what I've seen in like a month.
Opened this thinking it was about the FX show and was about to call you a shit-sipping frittata. Glad it's just about dating instead
