    You’re 100% correct lol. Men who do this are roundly mocked and called sad creepy incels.

    That said, the culture and dating scene for women in China is pretty awful. My ex was Chinese and had some awful dating stories, now she avoids dating Chinese men.

    We need to learn to be a little less mean to anybody who uses these apps. They’re likely doing it because they see little alternative, yet still want affection.
