In some ways, dating apps are the anti-internet

But women will educate us in what works and once the lesson sinks in that asking 50 random strangers “Hi, wanna jiggy?” doesn't actually work, then our approaches will be tamed down to those that do work.

Except I can't really see any feedback loop here unless one considers that in a few generations those with more refined approaches might get to reproduce more while those with the simplistic ones might not - and this may take a while. Short of that, nothing else selects in favour of those who smarten up - they stay the vanishingly small minority in the ocean of people stuck at nilly waving who only keep getting more and more frustrated because it doesn't seem to get results, without realizing why.
