The other side of that study (The infamous OKcupid one, it seems to be the source of all these) is that once women engage with men, their expectations normalize, and they end up with like rated men.
The core issue is just getting women to engage with realistically viable men. This has never been a (huge) issue ever before because until right now, the only way to meet people was face to face encounters. Nature solved for the problem, and online dating broke it.
- toomuchtodo 3y agoI don't believe you're wrong. There is strong evidence that there are unrealistic expectations in the current iteration of the dating marketplace. I have no advice other than to be secure in your self, prioritize being the best person you can be for your own wellbeing, and make as much opportunity as reasonable to meet other healthy people open to relationships. Good luck out there. Fortune favors the prepared. The right person might not come along, but if they do, be ready to connect. High level, what you describe is the Instagram Reality imprinted on relationship expectations. People are chasing a fairy tale, not reality. https://www.profgalloway.com/a-fewer-good-men/ https://www.profgalloway.com/a-fewer-good-men/ https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/1461444819888720 https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/1461444819888720 https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Chia-Chen-Yang/publication/309419236_Instagram_Use_Loneliness_and_Social_Comparison_Orientation_Interact_and_Browse_on_Social_Media_But_Don't_Compare/links/585324b808ae7d33e01ab5c8/Instagram-Use-Loneliness-and-Social-Comparison-Orientation-Interact-and-Browse-on-Social-Media-But-Dont-Compare.pdf https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Chia-Chen-Yang/publicat...
