なぜネット恋愛は「モテる人」も不幸にするのか【統計学×進化心理学】

Why Do Dating Apps Make Everyone Unhappy? The Gini coefficient for the "like" economy on dating apps is 0.58. It's more unequal than 95% of the world's national economies. Used by 350 million people, displaying 140 faces daily—it's the largest dating infrastructure in human history. However, a meta-analysis of 26,000 people in 2025 revealed this: App users, compared to non-users, suffer from depression, anxiety, loneliness, and lower self-esteem—they are worse off across all psychological indicators. Moreover, this trend is gender-neutral. Neither those who choose nor those who are chosen, those who receive a flood of likes nor those who receive none, are benefiting. This book dissects this strange structure from four perspectives: data, psychology, evolutionary biology, and business models. ---------------------------- ▼Timestamps 00:00 - Introduction 01:41 - Chapter 1: The World's Most Unequal Economic Zones 03:32 - Chapter 2: The More You Choose, the More You Develop a Brain That Rejects Others 07:29 - Chapter 3: Men Who Are Made Invisible, Kings Who Don't Commit 11:03 - Chapter 4: Making Quarterly Financial Reports in Solitude 16:21 - Epilogue ---------------------------- ▼References [1] Iyengar, S.S. & Lepper, M.R.
