Tiivistelmä

This commentary examines gender asymmetries in online dating, particularly on Tinder, and highlights overlooked factors in Joona Räsänen's article. First, the growing number of men struggling to find romantic partners is a broader societal issue that extends beyond Tinder. Second, given that men outnumber women on the platform by a ratio of three to one, finding a match is inherently more difficult for men. Third, Räsänen's claim that Tinder constitutes an injustice for men and his suggestion to revert to traditional methods of assortative mating lack sufficient justification. Finally, based on recent studies of women's behaviour on Tinder, I propose an alternative hypothesis: many men may simply struggle to use the app effectively—that is, they may be bad at using Tinder.
