Also, literally who cares. This isn't politics. Zoomers and millenials are very left-wing and that hasn't changer significantly in recent years. This isn't happening at scales that are shifting the political landscape. Idk why there is an obsession with this shit.

    Misogynists have genuinely good advice about making a dating app profile. Here is an example. There's some shit in there (negging, "you need to wear a watch in every photo" lol), but the bulk of the advice is good. Know how the algorithm works, check out the competition, look as hot as you can, put hours into taking and selecting nice photos, don't open with "hey". [Obvs I don't endorse this post, the ideology is apparent in the explanations for why you should do certain things, also the Tinder algorithm has changed since 2018.]

    Anyway I've never seen a lefty source so detailed about dating apps. Some thoughts:

    • this is Reddit dressed-by-the-internet type advice. If you follow this guide you will have a good-looking very generic dating app profile. Misogynists think all women want to sleep with a single "alpha" ideal and their advice tries to get you closer to that. Non misogynists will tell you to make a good profile that shows off you who individually are as a person. The TRP post doesn't suggest including hobby/activity photos at all, just ones that make you look hot and friendly. Probably a one-size-fits-all guide will be more popular than something useful for only some people.

    • if you have trouble relating with women, making a profile that gets swiped right on is probably the most you can do. So they are gonna get really good at that.
