Women were a huge difference. 80% not attractive, 20% or less attractive.
- sokoloff 4y agoWas it this research by any chance: https://web.archive.org/web/20091121080804/http://blog.okcupid.com/index.php/2009/11/17/your-looks-and-online-dating/ https://web.archive.org/web/20091121080804/http://blog.okcup... Because if you read past the first and third graphs, which do more-or-less support your position in terms of how they answered "how attractive would you say this person is?", and look into the "how likely was it that you took action to communicate with them?", the selectivity flips quite hard into something that many of us would probably guess: "women's looks matter more to men than men's do to women". Or perhaps this one, which used eHarmony data: https://www.oii.ox.ac.uk/news-events/news/new-study-reveals-changing-trends-in-online-dating/ https://www.oii.ox.ac.uk/news-events/news/new-study-reveals-... Is what people say when surveyed or what they do when free to act more relevant in dating? I think it's the latter.
