Sorry but people quoting the OKCupid study always ignore the part of the study that isn't convenient to their narrative.
The data shows men might rate women's attractiveness charitably, but they only messaged the most attractive 5s.
But whom women messaged tells a different story. Women messaged more average-looking men and were less likely to message the most attractive men.
- Manuel_D 4y agoThese findings are replicated across many dating sites, not just okcupid. Here's the stats for Hinge: 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... Examining messages is largely moot, because by the time two people have matched we've already filtered out a huge portion of potential partners.
- OkayPhysicist 4y agoThe even bigger takeaway from OKCupid's stats, IMO, was the fact that divisive profiles performed better than generally okay ones. People were more likely to actually engage with a match they found attractive, but other people didn't.
