Let me clarify this, people reject others in Tinder (or other apps) for many reasons. For example, people who look for a commited relationship reject more than people who look for a casual relationship or one night stands.
If someone where to make an analysis, they might include more variables like "aim" (kind of relationship) and risks involved.
Men tend to use the tinder data only broken up by gender and generalize to people on the streets and other situations, when it is obvius that those situations are not the same and sex/gender are not the only variables at work.
Your claim that "men don't see other possibilities" is curious to me, since some men seem to know that there are places like parties and tactics like being introduced by a common friend that work way better to get dates. So why they insists so much on approaching strangers on the streets where they have as much chance to approach a married/already paired woman than a single one?
And the reasons implied by your claim is "they don't like their rate of rejection so they preffer a method that would allow them to insists after the first rejection and pressure to get what they want". But that is not considerate of the other, so that leads us the the begining of this conversation, since the polite rejections fail, they turn blunt and rude. And men get angry because they haven't got what they wanted: a date with the woman they liked despite her not liking them back.
It would work better for them to take the rejections at face value and don't waste their time with unninterested women. They maximize their chances of getting a date by not wasting time insisting in the hopes to change the woman's mind. That is, the less time they waste dweling on the 95% that reject them, the more time they have to look the other 5% to see if one or more of them is right for them. Time to go on dates in limited anyway. So insisting on going on a date with someone who is not enthusiastic about it is a waste of time and money that you could invest in someone who actually values it. Since you probably can't go on more than 7 dates a week (and that is quite optimistic), that 5% is high enough to fill their calendars.
But as we know, some men arrange several dates the same day in order to have a "back up" in case the favored one fails. Those "prefered dates" are what you would consider the "20% of the women", by the way. At least in terms of "looks".
As a result, women take more time to agree to dates. In some ways, tinder works similar to the "prisoners dilema". Men complain about women swiping left but don't consider how some common practices like hosting impact on the number of left swipes.
When I was single, I would have preffered that men who were only midly interested in me swiped left instead of right. That would have saved me time finding my boyfriend. Of course, when I realized that, I changed my profile to favour that. Because what counts to find someone is not the number of matches, but the quality (defined by compatibility and interest on both parts).
So you might want to not put so much importance on the right and left swipes, since right swipes doesn't necesarily translate in dates, much less dates that both person enjoy. Behold the curse of never passing the first date!/joking
