Dating apps are such a zero sum game for young guys, this is why I say to younger lads to find their wife in high school, college, or university as they are genuinely the easiest and best way to meet women when growing up, as once you're out of them you're stuck with meeting women at work (bad idea and not worth losing your job over), bars and clubs (have fun competing with fifty other men lol) and the dating apps (have fun competing with your whole local area for the one decent looking girl on there lol).
Its a shame, when people turned adults back in the day they *had* to meet people at bars and clubs or work to find someone after education and now its all kinda gone with dating apps putting it all online or it being more dangerous these days to chat up women at work or a bar, sad times.
