Ad hominem. I'm suggesting you offer something more constructive, sir.
Is it really that hard to grasp that some people can have female friends?
This is an endless topic that I don't want to get into (the whole male-female friendship thing) but do you really not know people who have good friendships with the opposite gender?
And not quite sure what your suggestion of shaming them accomplishes other than some weird Power Play psychology you would use on a woman you are trying to game. If anything it just shows lack of social attunement.
And let's be honest, pretty much any woman on Tinder can punch above her league so your comment about her having to "resort" to it is pretty questionable. If a woman wants no strings attached fun with higher SMV men it makes sense for her to be on Tinder. While some men will not lower their standards there are a LOT of men who will.

RE: Online Dating Trends: Men now out number women 9 to 1
Anyone whos never had female friends is either fairly unlucky or has pretty bad mental issues. Anyone who thinks "No true man has female friends" definitely has mental issues.
Are they as reliable as male friends? No. Are they as fun? Usually no. Are they as close? Also usually no. But they can still make very good friends. And often in very different ways to men - they're more emotionally open generally, can offer good fashion advice, give an insight into the female mind, bring their friends to your parties...etc. They provide plenty of value, just in a different way to a male friend.
If someone has managed to go through life with no female friends from where they grew up, from where they went to school, from university, and from any jobs they've had then the problem is them - not all the thousands of women they've met socially in that time. The vast majority of women may be terrible platonically, but theres always going to be a decent minority.
Hell, most people should at the very least have close female friends from within their family. Hows your relationship with your mother ksbms? Any sisters? Female cousins? Are they not your friends?

I'll fully admit I actively avoid having platonic female friends. Call me close minded, but it's just not natural in my mind. I tend to believe biological factors just get too much in the way to have a pure friendship with the opposite sex. Though I'm already someone that doesn't consider acquaintances true friends on the male side, so my circle is tight. It's tough for girls to get that high up while platonic in a man's circle. Not to mention, the way we specifically are as men on the forum, we tend to have a lot of controversial views on female nature. Don't you want friends you can be real with?
Now, I keep female family members and girlfriends/wives of relatives out of this. They're girls that are more important to keep around and different types of relationships than what I'm referring to above.
I'll throw a hot take here. The best female friends you will have are ones you had sex with but do not click with romantically. I've had a couple of girls play out like this. These friendships admittedly don't always last permanently because you know, they may date someone else significantly and it can get weird keeping a past hook up around. But, with these few girls, I definitely felt the most comfortable with them versus platonic girls because it was like the pressure was off and the tension was off the table. We could kind of just relax and shoot the shit to a degree. Like it or not, most men will always have the image of sex with a girl that's remotely attractive in the back of their minds until it happens.
As far back as I could remember, I always wanted to be a player.

Unattractive women with good personalities break this 'nature' thing. It wouldn't be natural to mate with someone unattractive. But to hang out, socialize, and have fun with other friends - that's a perfectly fine thing to do.

RE: Online Dating Trends: Men now out number women 9 to 1
With apps like Instagram there is no need for women to resort to dating sites, IG give them all they need, validation, attention and dates.
Last time I was in Asia i had a few girls tell me they using IG for hook ups, its acting as unofficial dating site as it provides everything like Tinder minus stigma.
Some interesting stats
https://www.omnicoreagency.com/instagram-statistics/
68% of Instagram users are Females.
38% of female internet users use Instagram and 26% of male internet users use Instagram
Brazil ranked second in female user share, the country is home to the largest total Instagram user base in Latin America and second worldwide.
Instagram is used by 31% of American women and 24% of men.
If you want marketplace with favorable odds move to Insta

RE: Online Dating Trends: Men now out number women 9 to 1
Thats bullshit! I mean yeah... There have allways been more guys than girls on dating sites. And competition was allways hard. But if you have good images and bio you should have a chance to meet girls online.
Just improve your game...!
Or move to 3rd world countries  where white guys are in high demand
