The Dangers of Tinder, Hinge etc

Sadly rape is far more common than it ought to be. Not just via online dating but via just about every other possible avenue.
A high proportion of the women that I've known well have told me that they've been raped.
A lot of women keep the fact that they've been raped to themselves, or to only the closest people to them that they trust a lot.
So that rape is - probably - more common than the official figures would suggest.
I wish I could wave a magic wand and eliminate rape from this world. I can't.
I also see rape as bit like terrorism. In that if our freedoms are significantly reduced as a result of the fear of terrorism, then the terrorists have won.
If women have a significantly reduced social or romantic life as a result of the fear of rape, then the rapists have kind of won.

In February 2024, six dating-app users filed what they hope will be certified as a class-action lawsuit. They argue Match Group uses “addictive” features to encourage compulsive use while not leading to any real increase in off-app relationships. “The app is designed specifically to hook them, and to keep them paying subscription fees – not to help them find love,” attorney Ryan Clarkson said. Match Group filed to dismiss the lawsuit in September, noting in its quarterly report that it “will defend vigorously” against the allegations.

And as worrying is the fact that there are now so many hundreds of sexual assaults and rapes in Schools, even Primary schools, due to internet. I think something like 200 rapes per year in schools in UK. Also if you look at website "everyones invited" you can see the tip of the iceberg described.

that's why I prefer to use only proven dating sites and go on tea dates in public places

This is FREE to read . Just click "I'll do it late" and/or the "X" to get rid of the pretend Paywall and it costs nothing to read all of The Guardian. They rely on people wanting but they dont force subscription.
This is most certainly a good warning to be careful dating on Tinder, Hinge and the like. People are often not what they pretend to be.

I would wager there are far more false allegations from women and a much bigger problem that the judiciary is trying to undermine the justice system for that.

I'm not sure what the last half of this sentence means, but every study into the number of false allegations of rape and sexual assault by women has concluded that only a very small percentage of such claims are proven to be false. Usually somewhere in the region of 2%-3%, but the vast majority consider it to be under 5%. Even outliers on this subject don't think it's higher than 10%. There is just absolutely no reliable evidence to suggest that there are more false allegations from women than credible allegations. Indeed, the research plainly shows the exact opposite.

I would take institutionally prejudiced research with a grain of salt.
https://archive.ph/zSx0C There's a handful of examples of false allegations. The Cyprus false accuser would be another.
Of course with mass migration from people of different cultures enabled by the state, the statistics will start to be skewed.

The plural of anecdote is not data. Show me the research that backs up your claims and we can talk.
For the record, the research that I'm relying on is not "institutionally prejudiced". It is based on actual, verifiable statistics. And all of those put the percentage of false rape allegations at 10% or under, in several different countries. It is also worth noting that the number of allegations of rape that are said or proven to be false is invariably drastically outweighed by the number of rape convictions, but also by the number of rape allegations that are not reported at all. I'll link to this article from the BBC solely because it references and links to a range of different studies. Many more are available.
I need to be clear on this, because there is a danger on the internet that people conclude that a particular issue isn't clear and a matter of interpretation or opinion. This issue is clear. Raping someone is an utterly reprehensible thing to do. Falsely accusing someone of rape is an utterly reprehensible thing to do. But any suggestion, assertion or opinion that false allegations of rape are, numerically or societally, a bigger issue than rape itself is false. Absolutely, categorically, and undeniable false. Disagree with me? Show me your data and research. Otherwise, spread your nonsense elsewhere.
