Edit: because a few comments make me worry that some are taking this seriously - this meme is a play on the type of hopeless dating posts you might find in less healthy corners of the internet. The joke is a suggestion that the real problem is that one man in the image has some sort of arrow-attracting superpower.

    I know it’s a joke, but I feel like to be fair to both genders, each man here should arrows pointing to every woman.

      The original image, and your extension, are an emergent behavior as a result of The Algorithm - due to “scarcity”, Player B (men) is (are) encouraged to roll the dice as frequently as possible.

      This whole dynamic is real, results in negative interactions for both players, and is intentionally set up by the apps to maintain engagement and extract as much money via pay-to-play advantages as possible. Dating apps are rigged to give men and women bad experiences so they (largely men) become desperate enough to pay $25 a month or whatever to have an unfair advantage.

      The internet (and other players!) likes to hate the players, not the game, and the only “comfort” many young men have is Tate and Co.

          That’s due to large demographic disparities, in the physical world it works like I said. Also it’s a meme.

      with some exceptions… the abnormally skinny man has an unhealthy fixation on fat women, but its not love and anyone will do, and a few on each side are gay, some aren’t interested in anyone at all, some only interested in themselves, etc
