"Moving away from arranged marriage imposed severe costs on some women. A strong increase in premarital sex resulted in more of them being left to care for offspring on their own. Illegitimacy doubled in England, while quadrupling in France and Germany. In Paris, the number of abandoned babies tripled. In Stockholm, half of childbirths were by unwed mothers (Borgström, Reference Borgström and Lauritzen1994; Coontz, Reference Coontz2005; Seccombe, Reference Seccombe1992). These pregnancies often resulted from higher-status men seducing lower-class women with promises of marriage, but leaving them when they became pregnant (Johansen, Reference Johansen, Ågren and Erickson2005). This pattern reflects both the inclusive nature of men’s short-term mate preferences, and women’s strong preference for the most attractive men (Bendixen et al., Reference Bendixen, Kennair, Biegler and Haselton2019), but the burden predominantly fell on the women who were left with a demanding child and poorer prospects for pair-bonding."

"While the pill empowered women to pursue the most attractive men with less risk of pregnancy, apps like Tinder give them easy, practically unlimited access to the most compelling men. Women have increasingly used this advantage to further restrict their dating pool. In 2014, female Tinder users were about three times as discriminatory as the male ones, while today they reject 10 times as many profiles (Bilton, Reference Bilton2014; Gerrard, Reference Gerrard2021). According to Gerrard (Reference Gerrard2021), the average woman first swipes away around 95% of men. In the chatting phase, 98% of the remainder is filtered out before the woman commits to a date (Grøntvedt et al., Reference Grøntvedt, Bendixen, Botnen and Kennair2020).

Such heavy filtration is facilitated by two distinct mating dynamics. First, women’s highly discriminatory short-term mate preferences draw them to a small proportion of men."

"For the most sought-after men, Tinder and similar apps provide abundant access to new dates. Even on Hinge—whose slogan is “the dating app designed to be deleted,” that is, lead to relationships—the top 1% of men receive 16% of women’s likes, the top 15% receive 50%, while the bottom 50% are left with 4% of women’s likes (Edmunds, Reference Edmunds2017; Steinberg, Reference Steinberg2024). Other dating apps are similarly or more skewed. Studies suggest that the average man may have to work through over 5,000 profiles to secure a single date (Gerrard, Reference Gerrard2021; Grøntvedt et al., Reference Grøntvedt, Bendixen, Botnen and Kennair2020)."
