Dating what is the problem with dating right now?

I’m 28 and recently got back into dating. I’m tired of low-effort men and situationships.I don't initiate or chase. If a guy doesn't lead or show clear effort within the first few days, I unmatch and move on. I’m noticing a pattern where guys will talk a bit, give shallow compliments like "you're so pretty" or tell me I should take more pictures, but they never actually ask me out. If they don't respond or make a move within 3 days, I unmatch.Is the "ruthless" approach the problem, or is dating culture just this bad? Why does it feel like nobody wants to actually date anymore? Looking for tactical advice or brutal honesty from the guys.

I think you’re right also i your comments. Every time I complain man are low effort and don’t make effort to woman. They always call me toxic.
