Now seriously, if you aren't in the top 1% don't bother with online dating

Why might that be?

you can get better looking women in real life, online dating is very tricky for males.
you'll have to lower your standards a ton, + i wouldn't date anyone using an online dating app, only hook up with them.
I'm decent looking, i'd say that i am in the top 10% of men, I've dated someone from a dating app, very low quality, then i started only hooking up, if I am a 8, i can only hook up with 7s or under, average being 6s. Not worth it, if you have good game you get better chances at finding a quality person at the gym or library, or if you want to only hook up, go to a club and you'll get better looking women by far.

I can go in great detail about female psychology, monkey branching, hypergamy, etc.
And also provide some grim stats that the majority of women are delusional, for example she brings nothing to the table besides pussy and she expects to date a guy making 6 figures, minimum 6 feet, and 6 inches.
And they think they can date a guy like that just because of hook up culture.
Myself, i quit dating apps, tired of emotionless sex, tired of getting the same types of stupid people, and the girls that are "in my league" would never look at me because i'm not better than them(hypergamy).
I quit dating all together, I need time to focus on myself, dated a girl for like 2 weeks, and she just told me that we would never work because i don't give her enough attention. LIKE OF COURSE I DON'T, i go gym, i go basketball, i have stuff to do, training, etc. I gave her like 80% of all my free attention and she isn't happy lol. so we broke it off.

You have a number of valid points.
