Your limited experience isn't sufficient to claim that it isn't important, however. Resulted in me feeling better, getting better treatment in the workplace and among friends but did not make one iota of difference in my outcomes on online dating sites. The entire motive of dating site companies is to make the process frustrating and time consuming but create just enough illusion of hope to keep people coming back. They'd be quickly paired off and no longer on the site. If they made a product that facilitated people efficiently meeting and forming satisfying relationships none of their customers would be around long enough to paying much in subscriptions or supplying very much content for the companies to data mine. In the case of dating apps there's actually a misalignment of interests between the site users and the site owners. Is that so? They sure seem to be consistently being downloaded and making money for apps which deliver a terrible experience.ĭentists make a lot of money, that doesn't mean visiting one is a pleasant experience. Men consider 40% of women above averagely attractive.īasically, women ignore most guys on these apps, whereas guys would gladly date most of the women on the app. Basically only seven percent of men were deemed above averagely attractive to women. Ten guys with 58 women, while 50 guys fight for 4 women.That's a pretty bad experience.Īnd, if you look at OK Cupid's data, look at how women rated the men on the app, versus how men rated women. The top 10% of guys get 58% of the female attention. 50% of guys are competing for attention from 4.3% of the women, and those aren't even attractive. Women drift toward a small percentage of guys on dating apps. However, it is objectively a bad experience for most men who would do ok in real life. I'm on Tinder and go on 2-3 dates a month or more from that app. I got a much better photo, changed my bio some, and I saw a decent increase in matches.
