Tinder is a joke. Economist here. Assume looks have a normal distro, meaning the average is around 5. Now assume EVERYONE on Tinder is looking anything 2 standard deviations above their real value, for example, 5s look for 7s, 7s for 9s, and finally 9s for 10s and 10s for 10s.

This implies that the only possible matches are for 10s, both male and female. If you want to relax the assumption, think that 10s may lower standards for say a 9. That means only 9s or 10s find matches.

Enjoy your ilusion, 8- Tinder users.

>>7504414
First you have to remember they are incredibly shallow with nothing to say. Just really stupid good looking people the 7s to 9s of society.

Second understand that they are just using human beings to masturbate. The same way you might decided to jerk off twice a day instead of once, they decided to fuck two people instead of one.

Stop for a moment and think how fucked up that is. They go to a complete strangers house, barely knowing their first name, get themselves blind drunk, and have some half assed 15mins of sex with no foreplay.

She will suck your dick for like 2minutes, you will stick your dick inside her, she is dry so you lose your erection almost straight away. You now start to finger her and play with her nipples, she pretends to like it and moans a little, you make awkward eye contact and then she looks away. If you are adventurous you lick at her pussy for like 30-45 seconds, then jam your dick back inside her, spend the next 5minutes doing your dontcomeyetroutine and then pull out and cum somewhere on her body. She gets up goes to the bathroom to shower. You get dressed and leave.

Repeat this for a year. If you don't actually want to kill yourself after that, you might just be a psychopath.

>>7504423
this assumes females look solely for looks which isn't true at all especially post college. the apps all feature work/education prominently now

Well, assume you can pool characteristics into a single variable. For example, assume you have now an 8 and add two points for that guy being a Wall Street trader.

>Nick, with his lumbersexual beard and hipster clothes, as if plucked from the wardrobe closet of Girls, is, physically speaking, a modern male ideal. That he fulfills none of the requirements identified by evolutionary psychologists as what women supposedly look for in mates—he’s neither rich nor tall; he also lives with his mom—doesn’t seem to have any effect on his ability to get rampantly laid. In his iPhone, he has a list of more than 40 girls he has “had relations with, rated by [one to five] stars…. It empowers them,” he jokes. “It’s a mix of how good they are in bed and how attractive they are.”

Does having multiple sexual partners earlier on in life make you better at vetting potential partners when you decide to start a family?

Will divorce rates go down?

Seems like currently there's a few magic numbers

men
16-18 lose virginity, have first few serious relationships, first love
18-28 be promiscuous on tinder
28-32 try to date seriously and establish a future partner
32+ marry, start a family, raise children

For women it might be

14-16 lose virginity, first love
16-26 be promiscuous
26-29 desperate to marry
29-35 look to cheat
35+ divorce

>>7504471
The intersection between both sets imply necessarily men getting cucked af and men divircing at 37.

I would say that Tinder is more of a tool for diffusion of information. I seriously doubt that the only interaction with people tinder users have is on tinder.
In that sense, it should help to find more efficient "allocations."

>tfw when i'm a 7/10 and my 7/10 future wife will have inevitably been repeatedly used as a cum rag by 9/10s in her youth

>>7504478
Yes, but only for people with decent endowments. There's not going to be a "price vector" for the preferences of 7-, there's always going to be an excess of supply for those people. Tinder is not an efficient market because that plattform don't allow changes in preferences. Real life is way better. If you hit 32 and you are a virgin you are forced to change the parameters in your preferences and you low your standards, in that case there may be a match. Since Tinder is so heavy on looks, it seems like preferences aren't strictly concave or monotonic, which is the reason equilibrium will never be assured.

Reading literature could have boosted your language skills enough for you to succeed academically and get into a good law school. Seriously, even aspies can get into law school, since test scores are the biggest factor in applications.

Then you could join a top firm that services Wall St. clients. This is really the only way to break into these circles if you don't have a prestigious pedigree. You're unlikely to get into finance from a low-tier undergrad, and your undergrad is largely determined by factors you probably couldn't control. You can paper over a weak background with an elite law degree, though, and it's one of the only potentially lucrative career paths if you're a humanities major.

Assuming you're from the land of the philistines, people will be even more impressed with you for loving literature. In NYC, people are expected to pay lip service to the fine arts, even if they don't actually give a shit. Everyone recognizes the charade and hates it. But you - you will have cultivated a love of the arts that springs from your own interests and enjoyment. Indeed you might be from a place that was actively hostile to the arts, lending you even more cred.

Your life might still be shit, but that's not what matters. What matters is that you have the power to decide, and others do not. You can always give up and be a loser, but most people will never even taste the life that you have. It will be totally foreclosed to them, just like the clubs and restaurants you frequent. Moreover, you will have insider knowledge of the capitalist machine that others can never even dream of. It's a sad knowledge, but it's knowledge nonetheless, and all you ever wanted was to be a witness anyway.

>How can literature make up for the fact that I'm not a New York / London, high-finance, work-hard-play-hard, hooking-up, 24/7, coffee-drinking sophisticate?

Literature can teach you that you don't need to be a New York / London, high-finance, work-hard-play-hard, hooking-up, 24/7, coffee-drinking sophisticate.

Nothing feels nicer than giving up on dreams of "the ______ lifestyle" and just being able to enjoy knowing the people you know and reading good books.

>>7504507
Even if we look at the decision of two people to swipe right for each other your assumptions are to simplified to be meaningful. There's no objective quantitative ranking of physical appearance that ALL people follow. I would argue that there is a "price vector" of physical features and things in a person's bio and that is how people make decisions to swipe right.
Also, tinder obviously works for people who are "-7," why even try to build an argument that it doesn't?

>>7504596

You can read about Marxism and hopefully as the first world continues to deteriorate in the coming decades get involved in revolutionary action and eventually execute rich people in mass.

>>7504604
>Also, tinder obviously works for people who are "-7,"

is this obvious? are there any men less than 7 in looks who get lots of sex from tinder?

and what women consider attractive in men is almost uniform, with a very few outliers.

>>7504610

>tfw I have no social media and only use my phone to make calls and play solitare

It's weird reading about "hookup culture" because it's apparently happening all around me but I truly don't notice it at all.

>>7504616
Do you know an actual person who has used/uses tinder? I know plenty of "average" looking guys who have had success with it.
Plus your definition of success as "lots of sex" relies on a lot more than physical appearance. The swipe is the only aspect that is almost entirely dictated by physical appearance.

>>7504333
First off, sex with someone you've never done it with before is usually subpar and relationships are worth it just for the opportunity to get good at fucking each other.

Lived the Bret Easton Ellis lifestyle at elite New England university and as a young professional. It sucks and the people who do it are not well. That lifestyle is a hamster wheel of vicious work and Roman-emperor tier hedonism where you do one to sustain yourself through the other. It is the opposite of sophisticated, because nobody thinks or reflects, and when they do they go to therapists or read self help books. Those are your masters of the universe.

I got out when I realized that I didn't like sex for its own sake and that so much of what I hated or was ambivalent towards was undertaken to get "free" sex. Not a Buddhist, but these urban sophisticated are total slaves to their passions and impulses.

You're deluded for thinking being this irrealistic finboy you described is a thing and literature can fix that. Many—most—people in “high finance”—you're not including other successful fields like Big Four auditing, wealth management, advisory, tax consulting, …—don't earn that much. Not everybody make it to the partner level and most stay at a mid-manager/manager level for decades with a salary of 80k/100k. A lot? Sure, but still nothing like what you're dreaming for, and far easier to obtain. You could make it in a lot of different sectors and one of the only good things—assuming you will meet clients, which may not happen at a junior level—is travelling and working abroad.

Nice quads, too bad your post was garbage.

Sex is significantly more enjoyable than masturbation, and you can even have great sex with strangers (though I think it's generally better in a relationship).

You look for something "meaningful," but you leave that term totally undefined. You don't even know what it means for something to mean something, naw mean? Sex is pretty fun though.

>>7504423
>everyone's a rational actor, nobody adapts, all behavior follows one pattern
Wow, you really are an Economist.

What are we actually discussing here? It seems like this form of self-gratifying sexual relationship is the culmination of mass self-actualisation in western culture. This also has encouraged an embrace of the ego.

So now, given that we've done away with the spooks, what value do our lives have?

>>7504423
Your flaw here is assuming that tinder users are some sort of ideal population sample. Clearly if tinder is primarily used by young people in urban enviroments it would not be.

>>7504537
This isn't true at all apart from the bit about LSAT scores. High-ranking law schools are just as competitive, if not more, than high-ranking business schools - you'll never get by as an autistic piece of shit who can't communicate with people.

>Vanity Fair

>>7505285
Still, Tinder is not the market for that because you can't send the right signal. Cultural capital is an asset/good tha can be only exchanged in a very specific market, like a house party, your job, a class, etc.

>>7505280
Its not remotely random. The idea that less attractive people get far fewer matches isn't some genius idea, fucking everyone knows that. As a result, less attractive people use tinder less. People in rural areas also use tinder less because of fewer possible matches, as well as older people. There are clearly certain personalities that are more or less likely to use tinder. This is in no way a random sample.

He said that obsessive sexual relationships without any kind of feeling - sex divorced from genuine love - are still the symptoms of the emotional plague.
You either repress yourself and lash violently against everything that reminds of your sexual feelings, or indulge in them constantly and without any kind of emotional reaction whatsoever; both attitudes still show that you're repressing your urge, and thus sick.

“The authoritarian familial tie presupposes
the inhibition of sensuous sexuality. Without exception, all children brought up in a
patriarchal society are subject to this sensuous inhibition. No sexual activity, no
matter how showy and ‘free’ it appears to
be, can delude the expert as to this deeply
rooted inhibition. In fact, it is precisely
this inhibition of the capacity for orgiastic experience that lies at the bases of many
pathological manifestations that occur
later in sexual life, such as indiscriminate
choice of partners, sexual restlessness, proclivity to pathological extravagances, etc.”

>responding after 9 hours
yeah.
I read a great article about traders, how they dress according to age, how much they make, where they live in manhattan, where they eat, where they dance. Maybe you can find this with these keywords (it may have been Vice or another online magazine)

I've graduated from LSE (plebs : London school of economics and political science), except I wasn't interested in finance. A friend told me she had older friends who hated the pressure, the boring casino economy, anyaway, boring was always on their mouths.
So I chose international relations, with a focus on the UE.

But in the article (Vice?), they say, I mean they confirm that it's easy to get into finance after graduating the LSE, (or Sciences Po Paris, Dauphine etc.)
So getting into finance is rather easy.
But the article goes on to say that as a trader, you're just at stage where you have to prove your worth, including gaining trust from official invenstment funds, make personal contact...

If you're in the top 10%, you advance from trader to investment banker. That's where the fucking big money is. Where you can palce bets with money from rich clients, or hedges fund.

So the trader career, it's 5 years working a lot, hoping to be able to move up. But in the end, only 10% become really rich guy in IB.

So no, starting in finance is not that hard. They want to test as many traders as possible, because they still don't really know what makes a good trader. See is it as a casting.

Traders who didn't make it to IB tend to get depressed, and/or fired, and as they'd always been jealous of the money their friends make in IT, they decide to rejoin them.

I guess the article didn't say their friends from Ivy made more in IT. But made close to the same amount in IT.
So many thought trading was not worth all the stress and the hours.

I remember Zizek saying that online dating is the new form of arranged marriages. Tinder is pretty much online dating for twenty year olds.

Women stereotype and judge men by (fake, fabricated) beauty standards at nearly the same frequency as men do

>Your life might still be shit, but that's not what matters. What matters is that you have the power to decide, and others do not. You can always give up and be a loser, but most people will never even taste the life that you have. It will be totally foreclosed to them, just like the clubs and restaurants you frequent. Moreover, you will have insider knowledge of the capitalist machine that others can never even dream of. It's a sad knowledge, but it's knowledge nonetheless, and all you ever wanted was to be a witness anyway.

Let me break this down

>your life may or may not be good, but the important thing is that you are able to do something other people cannot do

>it does not matter whether or not you live a good life, only that you are better than others

>you are an insider and not an outsider. to what? it doesn't matter; it is your relation to the outsiders that matters.

not really, i mean i find it to be exciting and am bored otherwise.

i would normally send out a bunch of messages during study breaks at the library. i'd use okcupid, and auto-filter them by attractiveness (5 star only), then i'd middle click down the list sorting by match% until i hit 69%.

i'd send the same opener i used for years, something that is cute like my cat, along with something that ssets me apart from others like 'what are you passionate about' but worded in a much better way that i don't want ot give away here.

i'd generally be on campus the entire day and finish at around 8 or 9, which is when i'd schedule my dates.

also right after my tutoring sessions (im a high paid tutor for private manhattan families) so i'd be very fresh and energized.

other than that, i'd get drunk and hit up one of the bars near me. i live in bushwick and the hipster pussy here is super easy.

i'm pretty attractive, but far from model esque and i've coached my below average friends through it and one of them just got engaged actually.

it's become a bit of an addiction but it's so fun pushing the envelope. i'm at the point where i make porn with most of the girls i fuck. share em on google drive with them. it'[s awesome.

holy fuck reading a bit of this since /lit/ just went offline temporarily and i see this:
> It’s setting up two or three Tinder dates a week and, chances are, sleeping with all of them, so you could rack up 100 girls you’ve slept with in a year.”

that's what I do! this is finally spot on. i've read so many bullshit about this "this computer genius hacked okcupid" and it's so behind the curve. this is from the looks of it closer to waht i do.

actually no

I've noticed this to. I think there are three things going on:
(1) A lot of them are probably lying or hugely exaggerating. It's really easy to pick and choose which keywords you drop so as to give a wildly false impression. After having met some tinder people irl, it's amazing how many of them
(2) It's a false impression created by the fact that you only notice what people say and never what people don't. You notice when someone mentions their elite alma mater - you probably don't notice it when they don't mention which school they go to
(3) Well off people are more likely to think they have something to offer other people so they're more likely to use this crap (something that's gonna be exaggerated if you live in an area with a lot of rich people). The broke ass poorfags who work two jobs prolly won't even have the energy for this crap.

>>7505120
yeah grandpa

>>7506316
>how many of them
make into a positive that they nearly flunked out of a good college, or have a hobby they're shitty at and never work hard on, or have a job that is actually shit-tier stuff for failures but sounds impressive when you just mention the sector of the economy and the vague job position.

Yeah, what you said made a lot of sense. I don't think I'll be using these apps very much anyway, feels like a meat market.

Why does a board about literature attract a set of people who so fucking obsessed with socioeconomic status?

Is it just a result of the average level of education here probably being substantially higher than other boards? Are status-obsessed people more likely to be attracted to a board that engages in dick measuring over humanities education (humanities education, I suppose, traditionally being the province of the elite)? It's especially strange given that a lot of you people seem to be NEETs who read to escape from the world.

wtf

>>7504610 I like you, comrade

Nietzschean anarchist here, Marxism (or revolutionary thought generally) is not ressentiment. It's literally the opposite, being deliberate and organised struggle arising from discontent.

Ressentiment would be convincing yourself that it's good to keep being an oppressed worker. Ressentiment is being poor and voting Trump and pretending you're one day's work away from a million bucks and convincing yourself you're better than people on welfare.

If Nietzsche's ideal aristocratic decides to go to war or make some art or whatever, decides to struggle against his conditions, is that ressentiment? No, likewise neither is Marxism.

Join the struggle, make your life an endless revolt, a tale of desire armed!

What you say is seductive but saying it on NEETchan makes you sound like a total faggot.
