Are those percentages based on data you got somewhere, or are they a part of the 84% of statistics that are made up on the spot?

- factotvm 6y agoNot sure why folks are downvoting me... perhaps giving the humorous out is rubbing folks the wrong way. I looked at the links and didn’t see mention of those values, and I don’t know if they are commonly known, so I’m going to ask again. Where are these numbers (95% of women and 50% of men) coming from?
- globular-toast 6y agoThe OKCupid and Tinder studies, as linked elsewhere. The OKCupid study showed women rate 80% of men as "below average". But if you assume that most women don't want an average or even just slightly above average man, it easily becomes more than 90%.
- MattGaiser 6y agoIt is probably based off the OkCupid data that found that women rated 80% of men as below average attractiveness or the Tinder data which has the top 50% of women chasing 5-10% of the men. https://medium.com/@worstonlinedater/tinder-experiments-ii-guys-unless-you-are-really-hot-you-are-probably-better-off-not-wasting-your-2ddf370a6e9a https://medium.com/@worstonlinedater/tinder-experiments-ii-g... https://qz.com/1051462/these-statistics-show-why-its-so-hard-to-be-an-average-man-on-dating-apps/ https://qz.com/1051462/these-statistics-show-why-its-so-hard... http://archive.is/BtTP2 http://archive.is/BtTP2 I can't find the actual statistic the above people are repeating, but these are similar.
