  Thanks for the links. I have seen that @medium link before; this is an informal survey done by a single person so there’s probably a lot of methodological issues with the survey. The third link is just a screenshot from that same article, so it is just as dubious. The second link is quoting the actual article out of context. Here is the entire article: https://archive.is/yse2 https://archive.is/yse2 To wit: “Site-wide, two-thirds of male messages go to the best-looking third of women [...] women rate an incredible 80% of guys as worse-looking than medium. Very harsh. On the other hand, when it comes to actual messaging, women shift their expectations only just slightly ahead of the curve, which is a healthier pattern than guys’ pursuing the all-but-unattainable.” Point being, it’s men who only want the most attractive girls, and it’s women who are more willing to give a homely guy a chance.

    nah women start chats like 1% of the time so theyre just messaging back men who actually reached them first okcupid was from 2009, its way different now after ten years. women control the scene and they only go for the top. thats what the tweets i linked from 2019 show
