Actually, the Tinder data is remarkably consistent with the 80-20 rule that is wreaking havoc on the rising generation.

The 80-20 rule says that 80% of the women are willing, and perhaps eager, to mate with 20% of the men. What this means in practice is harems for the top 20% of men, and lots and lots of frustration as the 60% of the women who are putting out but not getting a “relationship” get ground down and replaced by the next 5-years younger cohort.

Tinder says that the match ratio is 78-22, that is, 78% of its female clients find 22% of the men acceptable for mating.

Its more complex. The standard for hook-ups and the standard for committed relationships is different, because what women most want is somebody who will stay by them and care for them.

Now with no strings attached hook-up sex, most men will not qualify. Because men are more anxious to do it than women. Women are not idiots, they know they are at the strong end of the negotiation there. They are giving up what they want and need the most by the nature of hook-up sex at all--commitment and real caring--so they are going to pick the best of their options. Over time they learn they don't have to settle for the average guy for such activities.

There's the trouble.

Civilization was created by patriarchal monogamy. A man who has no hope of getting a wife and family of his own has no incentive to work beyond the bare minimum to supply his own needs. A man who is certain that he will get a wife of his own if he is able to provide for her, WILL strive to build up his ability to provide. Thus is civilization built.
