I feel like most CEmen who talk about this would ultimately be unhappy about going on a bunch of unfulfilling first dates, but since they see it as "the more first dates I go on the better chance I have of a second date", any advice that lowers the first % to increase the second is seen as a no-go.

seems like an argument coming from a privileged position.

you're never going to convince somebody like the guy in the first pic that spending entire nights at home swiping right literally thousands of times is preferable or somehow worse than consistently being able to actually dress up/go out/smell fresh air/spend some money on food that isn't takeaway/communicate with another irl person regardless if the chances of a second date are 0 in either case.

why don't you actually let them get to that position by overcoming that first hurdle before trying to argue against it?
repeatedly yelling out "but the second hurdle is just as bad as being stuck on the first" is not the way to go.
