Saw this article today.

The new dating app is called "Siren." No way this is going to take off, but it's good to see the trends that are developing out there.

A new bullshit app that is created by and for women, supposedly giving them more control over the process.

Translate: it now gives them unlimited license to shit-test and attention-whore.

Women control who sees their app and who can speak to them.

It's also designed to prevent men from actually seeing what some of these women look like.

Basically, you can't even communicate with the precious snowflakes unless you pass the "question of the day"

Seems like a good name, considering that the Siren story was a tale of the dangers of female beauty and charm to men. Only Odysseus, a man of extraordinary intellect and self-control, was able to pass them, as well as a slew of other female dangers.

Projection is strong with hamsters, SJW losers, and white knights.

Just what incentive do men have to use this app? It might be great for the five women that use it to find each other.

This is why we have books like Bang and Day bang. Fuck online screening. I think online dating is for suburbanites where the population is dense enough but not directly connected.

Yeah, don't see a bright future for this one.

"On the flip side, a male user will see the female user's answers without seeing a profile picture. If his interest is piqued, he can hit an option to notify Siren. The app acts as a third party, alerting the woman that a user liked her answer and inviting her to check him out. The woman can ultimately decide to make herself visible."

Who the hell would do all that when you can just swipe through girls in any of the other apps out there?

What we need is an app to assign a 1-10 hotness scale to each girl's profile based on how often they get swiped right. Then let us filter out anyone under a 6. Now that would make Tinder worth paying for!

Some may be looking for a challenge.

Challenge: Take this 3 and love her like she's an 8.


Of course, it's far more likely that someone's just flat out desperate.

Guys, you know betas will sign up for this, and in the process elevate women's egos and distort the sexual market even more.

I'm not dismissing that some people will sign up for it. Never underestimate the thirst.

We'll see how successful it is.

Hah, the perfect app for all those female internet snoopers/stalkers out there. Here's lookin' at you LJ.

What's important about this story is:

1. It shows how delusional they are, in thinking that men are going to sign up for this sort of simpery.

2. It is an unpleasant reminder of where the feminist-SJW crowd wants to steer male-female interactions in the future. Their end game is: they have total power, and you have nothing.

The only women who don't want to be objectified are the ugly ones. And the only men willing to give women attention without knowing what they look like are the truly hard up.

"Letting loose the lunatics wasn't the greatest of ideas
Giving them plans and money to squander
Should have been the worst of our fears
The dream life luxury living was a pleasant number 10 whim
But somewhere down the line of production
They left out human beings"

-- The Jam, "The Planners Dream Goes Wrong," 1982

No man is ever going to use this app. When you build a product, half the population not wanting to use it should probably figure into your plans somewhere if it's for dating.

We need to start our own dating app. Just do the reverse of what we think would be sound and logical for meeting and attracting good quality matches. Make it so the more beta, thirsty, and sad you are, the more you'll have to pay.

The more narcissistic and picky the female is, the more she'll have to pay.

People love shit they can't have and they'll pay for access. Just have to figure out the right M.O.

It's still useful for rural areas and picking up novelty bangs even in dense urban areas. Online dating has its uses. It isn't some panacea to sink all of your time into, but it isn't the end of everything. Back when I was in grad school a few years ago I had a great hook on Okcupid. If the girl seemed cool on the third message I'd offer to meet her and buy her a sandwich. Rarely was more finessing necessary to get the meet, and if I was catfished by a ButterGolem I got do do some A level shitlording.

Wow, what a ridiculous app. But honestly I welcome it giving no fucks.

The bottomline is, you're either getting played or doing the playing. While I hate terrible ratios in clubs/bars, shitty attitudes, thirsty guys, skewed online ratios and girls being alarmed by "stranger danger," in the end none of it matters. These chicks still need to fuck. It's just like most of the Tinder profiles that say (and almost ALL of them say this) "Swipe left if here for a hookup."

Every true player should laugh at that and keep gaming. Push for the meet up and proceed as usual. Many of these "not here for a hookup" chicks will be broken down either the first or second date if gamed properly. So they can play all of their little games, and make apps that give them all of the "power," but in the end I'm fucking.

Competition doesn't matter if you're the best option. Handle the things we preach on here all of the time: improving game, lifestyle, clothes, lifting. If they want dick, they have to choose someone. Be the best option for them and don't compare yourself to other guys. Measuring yourself up to others is a failing model in game and business. You have to do you. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose but in the end as long as you keep your balls you're winning.

"These chicks still need to fuck". Exactly. While I understand some of the sentiments I see about location "xyz" sucking for pulling pussy, the reality is the women in those cities still want sex, and someone is fucking them. The pursuit of the "new pussy paradise" is going to result in guys trying to pick up women in villages in central Asia at the rate things are changing. It's just my opinion, but it's better to just work on yourself than to continue painting yourself into a smaller and smaller corner in a futile attempt to find the part of the world untouched by western influence. If you have perseverance in your pursuit for self-improvement, you'll come out on top simply due to the fact that the majority will drop out the race before they come anywhere near maximizing their potential.

At this point, I don't even think most men care how the apps work or how much they cost. If it increases the odds of getting laid by even .0001%, it's a viable option.

30 million?

For that shit show? Please...

Guess I'll fire my shit up and quite frankly 5 large would be MORE than enough to get it into number one over seeking arrangement.

Which reportedly pulls over 10 per year.

Competing with outfits like Match is not the smart move. A niche that has one dominating site and a couple other's that are not terribly competitive is the place to be.

If enough want in I'll make the time.

I know what that crowd wants. Frankly, it's less people, and higher quality, with a higher buy in.

We need to start an "Eligible Bachelor" app. Where women sign up for a chance to date a quality man. Men should have the ability to privately rate the girls on the 1-10 scale with a rolling comment feed. Any girls that a man knows personally should also be noted so guys can message each other to verify if she's a ho or not.
