Women rate 80% of online images of men on a dating site as worse-looking than their personal definition of medium.
I think it's important to keep in mind that:
* There are disparities between gender for how much appearance factors into attractiveness.
* The fact that a person is on an online dating site itself sends an attractiveness signal.
- MaximumYComb 6y agoI think I can vouch that women don't factor appearance in as much, at least once they get past 25 years or so. When I was younger I was nearly invisible to women. I ended a LTR of 7 years at 30 and the tables had turned significantly. I'm a similar build to when I was 22, I'm at best average attractiveness, now I'm bald too and yet online dating is like shooting fish in a barrel. I could line up more dates then I actually have free time to go on. I literally spend less than 3 weeks on any dating app as I'll tend to meet someone in that time who I have some sort of casual relationship with for a period of time and I tend to be monogamous even in casual relationships.

- munificent 6y agoDepends on what shape they were in at 22. :) I'm 42 and probably in the best shape of my life. But that's mostly because I spent the first forty years absolutely shunning any form of physical exercise.
