A social experiment in which an 18-year-old woman runs a Tinder profile as a man and sees how differently the dating experience plays out for men.

HN brings it up in dating app threads as a real-world illustration of how hard Tinder is for men.

> Thus, if you're an average-looking man, your odds of getting messages are actually greater than they are for an average-looking woman. Any research/analysis on the topic pales compared to reality. Here's what happens in real world ("Tinder Experiment: 18 Yr Old Woman Tries Being A Man!!!"): ▶ this video . It's a larger view compared to the number of messages, but the principle still applies.

[2012] A 2020 version: 18 Yr Old Woman Tries Being A Man on Tinder ▶ this video She tries to get as many matches and dates as possible using the male host's pictures. Spoiler: after a week of paltry messages and matches, she says she's "struggling" and "feeling down, even though it's not my damn profile. I thought this would be easy. I don't want to do this again. I hate this."

@Fjolsvith2020 · in “Dating Apps Destroyed Dating”

I loved the Youtube video where a woman tries to impersonate a man and get a date with women on a dating app. She cannot believe how difficult it is for men: ▶ this video At about 11 minutes in, the woman says, "Guys don't do this on dating apps. Just don't stop replying. They don't do that. Like, they don't 'ghost'. And, its weird that women do that so often."
