It's not a technical problem to solve.

Men outnumber women on Tinder by 9 to 1 [0], how does being open source help with that?

With an open source solution, I bet we can improve that, maybe even doubling it to 20 to 1.

The numbers don't make a lot of sense to me. Are all these men cheating on their wives? Where are the 8 other women getting their needs met? Are they meeting men in regular life or something? So why aren't all the men on tinder doing the same thing?

I think the thing is women don’t need apps. They get hit on all the time, throughout their daily lives. Dating as a woman is not about trying to find opportunities; it’s more about wading through the morass to find a man you deem worthy.

Yeah, but those dudes hitting on them in real life, they're on tinder, no? The world is about 50/50 men and women. If it's 9 to 1 on tinder, that means most of those men have girlfriends or wives, or these women that aren't on tinder are all hooking up with the same 5 dudes. The math just doesn't add up otherwise.

Because the open source dating app is outside. Go meet people. Introduce yourself.

Remember?
