I loved the Youtube video where a woman tries to impersonate a man and get a date with women on a dating app. She cannot believe how difficult it is for men: [VIDEO] At about 11 minutes in, the woman says, "Guys don't do this on dating apps. Just don't stop replying. They don't do that. Like, they don't 'ghost'. And, its weird that women do that so often."
