Research on dating apps shows that on Tinder roughly 4% of male profiles receive the vast majority of swipes, and on Hinge the top 10% of male users receive 60% of all likes.

"The swipe rates are very easy to measure. There's been a lot of research on this, and we mistakenly kind of overinterpret the findings of what people see on Tinder or on Hinge, which do show on Tinder something like 4% of the men get the vast majority of the swipes, and then larger numbers of women get liked versus men. Same thing on Hinge, that the top 10% of male users on Hinge get 60% of the likes." (said at 0:22:04)

No published record matching the claim that roughly 4% of male Tinder profiles receive the vast majority of swipes or that the top 10% of male Hinge users receive 60% of all likes was located; this does not prove the claim false. These statistics originate primarily from internal dating app company blog posts, informal datasets, and secondary online analyses rather than peer-reviewed scientific studies indexed in the biomedical literature.

In the United States, upper-middle-class and college-educated fathers have significantly increased the time spent with their children compared to the past, while non-college fathers spend the same or slightly less time.

"I've read that this differs by socioeconomic status and education where educated upper middle class men are spending far more time with their children than fathers in the past. Whereas non-college men um are spending the same amount as uh decades past or even slightly less." (said at 1:25:27)

No published record matching the specific claim that college-educated fathers in the United States increased childcare time relative to the past while non-college-educated fathers spent the same or less time was located; this does not prove the claim false.
