My friend Louise has recently stopped using her dating apps. She finds sorting through the options to be time-consuming and exhausting. Psychologists suggest that choosing from a large pool of potential partners causes “cognitive burden” and “choice overload" (D’Angelo and Toma, 2016). When there are too many choices for our brains to process, we begin to focus on factors which are quickly and easily evaluated such as physical attractiveness, height, and weight (Lenton and Francesconi, 2010).
However, choosing from among too many options makes us less satisfied with the choices we make. Researchers have shown that individuals who chose dates from a large set of potential partners (in this case just 24 options, many fewer than available on most dating apps) were less satisfied than those who had chosen from a smaller pool (only 6 options).

I agree, and she shouldn’t rely on just a dating site

Makes no difference in my case, women run away whether alone or in a group 
Walk down an isle of a supermarket and you will find there are 10 different types of tomatoes, or six different types of capsicum/peppers. Unless you are making a completely new recipe, or your usual item is not available, generally speaking you’d pick the same type/brand almost everytime
No different to when women go clothes shopping.
They spend hours looking for stuff & end up buying nothing.
