Sad thing we don't talk about how freaking miserable online dating is for men, and how companies like Match Group profiteer from our misery.

Pointing it out gets you labelled a bitter incel by society.

Probably depends on context. How you say it, and who's listening. I had no such problem when talking about it. There probably are people who label me as whatever when I do or say whatever, but why should I care about their opinion.

I found it interesting in the video that the line is not only between men and women, but also between more and less "attractive" individuals of each group.
