True. Maybe after this long quarantine some women will be desperate enough to date me lol
Why not? It's simply another way to meet women; and the more you meet/talk to, the more your chances someone, somewhere is a quality match to what you're looking for. Not every relationship, of course, has to be 'the one'.
That said, don't limit yourself to one method; and don't take it too seriously, unless and until someone comes along who deserves to be taken seriously and a committed relationship ensues. It happens.

I dunno. Surely it's the same when you're hiring an employee or looking for a spouse: you want to search in a way that turns up one person, and it's the right one.

Except - you can't approach it as if you're searching for a needle in a haystack (and expect to find the right one immediately). It takes time - and a sense of humor; enjoy the process.
No one is perfect and everyone is a mess in some way. Are you and the other person willing to deal with each other? Do you like each others' looks? Are you and the other person willing to meet in-person sooner rather than later? I think it can be a great option to use, but not to limit yourself to just online only. Always be open to multiple opportunities when they present themselves.
If you think you yourself don't have a lot to offer, then you need to spend the time to work on something to make that different. It's a process. You have nothing to lose by keeping open to things and not saying this one thing or that doesn't work. If something isn't working for you, work on and/or try something else and keep switching around until you find things that do.
Be as open as you can to being okay with being out of your comfort zone too.
It's rough. But IMO, no different than 'real-life' dating options. Perhaps slightly more superficial because of all of the photos, but not much rougher than bars, or grad school, or work or ... wherever.
I do think there will be some point in the future, long after I'm dead where dating will be really efficient, will be done online, and people will really pick partners based on true compatibility rather than picking through a list of attributes and photos.
If used correctly, it could be an extremely powerful tool to help pick out a PERFECT match that could be halfway across the world. But hardly anybody uses it that way.
I also do believe that each successive generation becomes slightly less superficial and racist, therefore widening their pool, but I digress...
My slender, good looking, highly photogenic acquaintance,...who has no income, no car, no job, no motivation, gets welfare cash assistance and food stamps,....now is seeing 3 different women from tinder at the same time. Lol. And having sex with all 3. One of them is turning into longer term. None of them know about each other. He’s a braggard. Funny because this is the truth nobody cares to admit. Because Americans are a politically correct people. Lots of women could give two poops about inner substance, intellect, and heart and soul IMHO. It’s ALL about looks most of the time. Of course there are tons of exceptions. But looks is mostly number one with women in America. Sure men are too...But not even a 20th of the amount that women are. Sorry. Just being honest. My broke, and busted acquaintance is pure proof. He’s 39 by the way. Getting on dating sites if you are not at least a 7 and up fellows,...mostly going to be a huge waste of time. And if women didn’t want to hear from men looking for hook ups, and are always saying in their profiles to “Move on if you’re looking for a hook up”....why is that my broke acquaintance is constantly hooking up and getting sex seemingly by the 2nd or 3rd date!! Lmao. Just my own opinions and views. It But Im pretty dead on. Pretty sad. But that’s life.
