They're mostly admitting that the female initiation model is a failure, which should have been obvious going in, and if it wasn't women's behavior on the apps should have clued them in long before now. There were so many retards who still expected men to approach them on the app despite the men being prevented from doing so. The rest of them would send a "hi" and expect the other party to carry the conversation, despite saying they hate it when they get those messages (unless Chad does it of course). I don't bother with apps but everyone I know that's used Bumble says they only get messages from bottom of the barrel women and even then they have to do all the work.

For some bizarre reason bottom of the barrel women are just as demanding as average or beautiful women

Simps have destroyed their ability to accurately gauge their SMV.

What's SMV..?

Something something Value, I'm guessing?

Sexual market value. RMV is relationship market value. The former is more valuable for men and the latter is more valuable for women but they're pretty intertwined, especially for women. It's a major part of inter-sexual dynamics and if you check out red pill spaces they go into as much detail as anyone would ever want about the subject.

Sexual Market Value, or something.

Basically correctly rating themself, whatever that may be.

For example: as a solid 6 instead of believing they are an upper 9, because they're still "humble" enough to not go for the obvious 10 label.

Idk how dating apps don’t get exhausting, unless you’re a really good looking dude and don’t have to try as hard.

My experience was pretty fucking bad. Any girls I did meet and actually managed to impress in conversation turned out to be some of the most basic and boring bitches I’ve ever had the displeasure of going out with. It was so genuinely exhausting

Yeah, I tried using Bumble at one point, and it managed to be much, much worse than Tinder, or any of the other ones I've tried... Which is quite something.

Honestly, while yes it is much more intimidating to do so (potentially for both parties), IMHO you likely have a better success rate just going out to a bar and starting convos with random women...

Or at least I do, and I'm not exactly a "Chad", lol...

Then again, there was a time when I wouldn't have been able to do that (and I still struggle), and it obviously comes with cost, + the potential for things to go wrong, so... Yeah.
