Girls get more likes than boys on apps that aren't strictly dating apps. This has been known and documented for a good decade, if not more.
>but I wonder if it would help people lower their standards since you could see a visual representation of the amount of people who you need to compete against.
That doesn't line the pockets of whoever is developing said dating apps. You can't feed and house yourself with honesty anymore, sadly.
Dating apps screw up your view of reality. Throw in the fact that some women use them purely just for a confidence boost, with no intention of dating anyone, and you have even more reason to stay away from them.
