Interesting, I never saw the Tinder experiments. I know the same numbers came up long before when OKCupid was the giant in the field and temporarily released some of their stats (which they then retracted).
They showed pretty much the exact same 78/22% skew.

Once you get out of your teens, people pair off one to one. Even unattractive people. I think the issue is more that some guys have extremely unrealistic expectations of what kind of girl they should have. They're overweight, unemployed, and rude to others but think that supermodels should love them.
Also remember biologically men are programmed to seek many women whereas women are extremely choosy. This leads to lots of rejection for men. Men just need to accept that and keep trying with a good attitude to find love.

Itβs a lot easier to get a humans together to hate something than to get them to agree to accomplish something as a team.
This is a statistic would cause massive amounts of screaming in various internet echo chambers. Some saying it's conservative, and some saying it's an exaggeration. I'm not going to argue either way because I don't know. It did make me think about something I find pretty horrible about reddit/twitter..
"Callout culture" has morphed into some kind of bizarre bullying cult that feeds off the radicalization it causes. /r/inceltears is a great example.
/r/enlightenedcentrism and /r/politics are just advanced sentence vector generators tasked with every possible way to communicate the following axioms:
- Support for any tenet of my opposition proves you directly support the opposition's atrocities.
- Moderate, centrist or apolitical people are responsible for ALL atrocities.
Get mad, we can't be any more partizan than we are so you have to be radicalized! Shit on this group of people this week! Next week it might be someone different!
I hate it, and I don't see good outcomes arising from it.
