Many women are not on a site or an app in order to meet or date anyone. They are only there to harvest attention and validation, because they are too cowardly, lazy or incompetent to get those things through real life work.
Paraphrasing Ginnie Sayles:
You can only insist on two traits you demand in a match. Rich and funny. Tall and kind. Smart and considerate. Pick only two. Not a laundry list.
You must offer them what they WANT not what you feel they SHOULD want. Unique is not synonymous with valuable.

Assume nothing. Ask, then ask again. Especially about money and sex.
Consumer culture and internet/phones have destroyed society. Instant gratification for the least possible effort / investment is the rule in shopping, so it bleeds over into "shopping" for a partner.
Yes, a relationship is and should be a sort of business deal, but the "something for nothing" attitude is so prevalent now it has made all dating toxic and impossible.
Not all, but many females, have been brainwashed into two lies: "I am perfect just the way I am" and "I deserve to get everything I want from a man".
Not all, but many females, use sites and apps dishonestly. No intention of every meeting anyone, just there to harvest attention and validation.
Not all, but many males simply want to get laid, and they pretend otherwise. Get off the treadmill and vote to legalize prostitution in America.
