Hey everyone, it's Early Access Day, and I think today's video is going to make you feel really good about your own life! Maybe for all the wrong reasons, but either way, enjoy this video about a man who may hold the record for most strike-outs in online dating history. Enjoy!
"The Male Loneliness Epidemic" is a topic that's been discussed over the last few years not JUST on social media, but by actual journalists from actual news organizations. Men are struggling to find friendship and love. And NO ONE has struggled quite like a man who went viral recently when he revealed that he "Swiped Right" on over 2 MILLION profiles on Tinder, and through all that effort, managed to get exactly ONE date. Buckley looks at the story of "Hayden", a man who seems to know there are plenty of fish in the sea, but he seems to be a little too focused on the fish part of that analogy.

While our match rates are higher the quality isn’t. I’m sorry but the men on tinder are boring. They all ask the same questions barely answer themselves and are just not interesting in anyway. This guy I swear I thought was my age (late 30’s). Sorry to say but looks do matter. If they matter for you men they matter to us. He doesn’t need to much, shave whatever is left of his hair-balding aged men and women but men are “allowed” to be bald. Obviously change into a different shirt or hoodie maybe even have one nice outfit pic and very obviously stop with the fish pics and being obsessed with fish. Most women don’t fish and don’t care about fishing. Just mention other hobbies and ask about the woman you matched with what she likes to do and questions about that. Not what do you do for a living where are you from? Stop asking the dumb questions and sometimes just get to the point and ask us out.

I can say a few more things, but that guy's profile statement itself is off-putting. He comes across like a can of worms.

2025-06-01 03:26:19 +0000 UTCI mean, Tinder IS designed for men to have reduced success dating because their subscriptions is what makes them money now - they want you to stay single so you stay on - and it’s full of bots, catfish and scammers now… but on the other side, what you’re saying about his profile and choices is also absolutely true. It’s not hard to find someone if you show a variety of interests/hobbies, go hang out with your mates and have fun whilst you’re single (so you have more to talk about), don’t act like an incel/Tate supporter, and read their profiles/refer to them in conversation. I’ve used Tinder, Hinge and Bumble several times when I’ve been single, and whilst it takes patience at times, I’ve always found a few people… including two of my last long term relationships, I’m not a conventionally attractive guy. People just always need something or someone else to blame, like this Hayden dude.

2025-05-30 20:16:28 +0000 UTCThe visual nature of dating app does mean that people can be overly picky and holding out for the "perfect" person, so it's about finding the right balance between what are real dealbreakers (morals/future plans) and where you can be more lenient (appearance/personality quirks). This video also made think of how women being financially independent in the modern age means they aren’t don’t have to be as motivated to secure a husband who would have previously been her only/primary source of income. They don’t have to settle for a guy like Hayden, who they might not share interests with and thus have no connection.
