Are your friends mostly male or female?
It just feels oddly gender specific to assume that in an environment where there are approximately equal numbers of single men and women (no?), one gender has sights set too high and the other doesn't.

- __turbobrew__ 2y agoThe study has been taken down for a long time now but OkCupid found that 80 percent of women went for 20 percent of men whereas men had a relatively normal distribution of women they went for. This was a long time ago as well and I think the situation has gotten worse in the age of tinder and friends. This is a summary of the article: https://techcrunch.com/2009/11/18/okcupid-inbox-attractive/ https://techcrunch.com/2009/11/18/okcupid-inbox-attractive/
- ascorbic 2y agoHuh. It says the literal opposite: "Some of the conclusions aren’t surprising. The “most attractive” women receive five times as many messages as the average female does, with 2/3 of all male messages going to the top 1/3 of women. And women tend to favor the most attractive men, though the ratio is less extreme."
- kiba 2y agoGender ratio on Tinder is heavily skewed toward male than women, except Europe.[1] No wonder why women are so incredibly selective. Gender ratio population wise is roughly equal, with slightly more women than men in the US, AFAIK. Men are chasing women in the wrong place. 1. https://www.reddit.com/r/Tinder/comments/165lsmp/tinder_gender_ratios_as_of_may_2023/ https://www.reddit.com/r/Tinder/comments/165lsmp/tinder_gend...
