It's nice to see people finally beginning to understand the gender imbalance on online dating.

In the first place, there are way more men than women on online dating. Immediately, due to behavioural economics, men are going to have a hard time.

Online dating technological is inherently flawed, and always will be inherently flawed due to this gender imbalance. A man needs to go into online dating, like you say, with rock-bottom expectations. If he manages to meet somebody through an app, he should be pleasantly surprised.
