"compared to the rate at which men swipe right on women." -- I don't know if this is your girls exactly, but do you know if there has been discussions of how men swipe yes simply to have a pool of women to choose from? I don't know if I'm wording that right, but I noticed it when I was using apps that you might match with someone and get unmatched very quickly. I also experienced men I knew simply swiping yes to everyone so they would get notified of who said yes to them and go from there? I don't know if this is just a phenomenon I've noticed/experienced but it's a kick to the teeth for sure.
"Jagged Edge" is excellent 👌 have you seen "Sea of Love"? Gives me the same vibes but also newspaper socials are a big plot point.
Yes, I think I mentioned game theory - validating your idea that men swipe right on anyone semi-attractive just to have a chance. But that's the point, isn't it? Women are the gatekeepers and they're keeping their gates high enough that 95% of men can't even start a conversation. That's a valid choice but it has consequences - namely that all women are competing for 5% of men and wondering why it's so hard to find one of them to commit. And yes, Sea of Love with Ellen Barkin is of a similar time and tone. Good call.
