I don't think that's necessarily true. The economics of online dating seem fairly straightforward. Given a pool of men that are willing to speak to them, women will focus their attention on the highest value men in that pool. Unfortunately for men, other men set their "value floor" for women well below their estimation of themselves, leading average men to entertain conversations with below average women, whereas below average women are still only interested in engaging with average or higher men.
