> men’s desperation

I don’t know, if $10 get me a girlfriend in a week without leaving my couch that’s money well spent.

Regarding the evolution of Tinder, I also despise all the options they added while slowly making the default worse. It got to the point that I don’t use Tinder at all because it’s become nearly useless for me at the moment. Probably because I have better options elsewhere.

So tinder is essentially iPimp at this point, except the women get 0%.

Not sure that's a fair comparison. As far as I can tell, Tinder doesn't physically assault the women who don't match frequently enough.

If you’re in the camp that considers every PIV as rape, sure. Every action can be bent into something ominous-sounding: There’s a small group of people in DC forcing a whole country to follow their rules “or else”.

Women here get to choose, it’s hardly pimping.
