Is online dating pointless for average guys?

I've read a lot of comments from average looking guys about their experience.

Result: Average guys get 1.5 matches per week (at most) on average

Most of those matches either don't respond or flake. The percent of matches leading to dates is 5% (at most).

1.5 x .05 = .075

1 + .075 = 13.3

An average guy can expect one date every 13.3 weeks from online dating, so about 3 dates per year.

90% of dates won't lead to a relationship.

13.3 / .1 = 133 weeks

So for an average guy to get a girlfriend from online dating will take 2.5 years of swiping every day.

Yeah, kind of. Most girls are swiping on the top 1-5% of guys. It really sucks,

Fukn waste of time is what im thinking

if I was single again, would just cold approach

there are so many annoying things about it. I am mad that I wasted time on it before and took it seriously. Women will swipe left on chads if they dont like the setting of their picture or if they are holding a FISH. think about how dumb that is.
Nothing to do with anything. Not to mention the new pay 2 win algorithms and forced diversity in stacks

Watched a YouTube video posted here before where some guy was interviewing a psychologist. The guy was explaining to the shrink that Chads had up to a few thousand sloots in their rosters due to online dating, while Miscers were getting literally F all .
The shrink even admitted this wasn’t going to end well . It’s over for Timmies , srs

I was hoping that online dating would be an alternative to cold approaching, seemed so convenient. Then I installed the apps and got red pilled. If I really wanted to date I could swipe every day and wait months for a single date, or I could go to a bar and approach ten women immediately face to face. Even if they all reject me cold approaching still seems like way better odds.
