Nothing will make a nerd a communist faster than getting a taste of real life on dating apps.

How would communism help with that? Make women common property?

Dating apps aren't real life - they're holodecks designed to make you think you need to buy premium.

If everyone uses them, they're the real life.

It's like, saying social media is not real. Well, maybe it is. But right now where I live they shaped the politics of our country.

I suppose if all men made the same salary that would level the playing field to some degree.

It would remove one more option of leveling the playing field for short, ugly, or stupid men, no?

Yeah, so how does communism solve the situation when attention of women is limited and needs to be competed for? Does every man get an equal 3-second slice of attention from each girl on communist dating apps?

No. It's just that the teachings of totalitarian sects are especially effective against narrow-minded, disillusioned people. The solutions they propose are not supposed to be effective or even realistic.

Attractive women are not such a rare resource. There is no particular problem in collecting it and distributing it fairly. One attractive woman can satisfy tens of thousands of men during the period of her attractiveness.
