    This sub looks like a fascinating place. They use acronyms like "LVM" (which I assume means "low value male") and seem to have adopted the same underlying transactional and ruthless homo economicus-based understanding of human dating behavior that a lot of pick-up artists, MGTOWs, incels, and other """red-pill"""-adjacent groups use, but disagree on important conclusions men make (e.g. cishet women above 30 see their bargaining power decrease while cishet men see a corresponding increase after 30 because higher income).

    It almost feels like the people who started the sub did so as some sort of psyop, in this case being some of the same people who run the male-centric misogynist communities to "corroborate" what their followers believe about the dating behavior of cishet women. On the other hand, the unrelenting and continued penetration of market logic into every sphere of human life could have easily spawned such a subreddit organically. The Internet and the neoliberal trend towards social atomization have significantly commodified sexual interaction.
