Men get the most attractive women their status/wealth can get them.
Women get the highest valued/wealthy male their looks can get them.
Usually.
Bit rude and hardly true. Nearly everyone (below 40 I would say) uses Tinder these days. The same way people use Facebook or Instagram to stay connected people use Tinder to date.
There is an entire generation that probably doesn’t know any other form of dating that isn’t via Tinder or some other app.
Anyways my point is:
Do you not think there might be a ripple or domino effect.
I think social harmony is very dependent on obtaining mates/life partners. I couldn’t argue the degree of that dependence but I feel comfortable stating that it is to some degree dependent on that.
I can’t recall the article I read on the subject otherwise I would cite it for you.
Something they discussed was how religion allowed for everyman to have a wife. Jordan Peterson referred to it as “enforced monogamy” and was grossly taken out of context.
Moral decay leads to lack of enforced monogamy. Now if you are like me and think that a large part of social harmony is dependant on obtaining life partner you will think this is bad. A lack of finding social/life partners → decreased social stability.
Now with Tinder. It is hypergamy on steroids. Women usually want tall men, aesthetically symmetrical, educated and with some wealth.
The thing with men is they will fuck anything. Even if the women is not what they would normally go for.
Tinder is incredibly adept at facilitating these sorts of interactions.
So to use crude terms. A bunch of female threes and fours are matching with men who are eights. For example.
And more often than not since men have way higher sex drives. They will hit up these threes and fours who would normally not have a chance with them.
And since single mother hood is cool now these women can get knocked up by these guys occasionally.
So where does that leave men who are not eights or even sevens.
Tinder has effectively increased the number and calibre of men that women can choose from. While leaving “lower status” male with very little to choose from.
Thus leading to decreased social stability. I think there are a plethora of additional inadvertent side effects to this but this post is long enough already as it is.
This is a gross over simplification. But just an example. Or a thought of mine as to why I think Tinder and decaying of morals is bad.
Maybe I am crazy but I don’t think so. I try and look at it through a Darwinistic lens.
But maybe I am guilty teleological thinking on this one. I don’t know.
