Our Tinder experiences must have been very different. Yes, men are competing in theory, but no more so than in real life. And the app literally _puts you in contention_ with them. The other thing is, if you’ve decided that it is in fact a competition, then the thing to remember is that those other people are also competing with _you_. Just don’t consider them, they’re not relevant to you. My girlfriend had 80+ matches when I started talking to her. I had 3. And yet here we are. I’ve no doubt it was the same for the other women I met on there. Dating on apps is the same as dating in real life. If you’re genuinely searching for someone, you need to get yourself noticed and be the best that you can be. The basics are equally important in both worlds. Be a good person, make people laugh, be interesting, be interested in them, don’t immediately be a thirsty prick, exercise, feel good about yourself, etc, etc.
