Was the author of this study drunk? Dating apps make men sad, then they swipe right on anything that looks like it might have a pulse bc nobody we find attractive was messaging back bc they’re drowning in options. Of course, occasional successes cause confidence rebounds but still. Any woman alive can get laid on a dating app. What could aiming too high possibly mean in this context?

I feel like I could agree either way. There definitely is more men than women on dating apps so I guess it would make sense that more men aim too high

This is a fun numbers game. There are twice the number of men than women on dating apps. This means that women will be swipped on twice as often, and men half as often, than if they were equal. This means that from population differences alone, women receive (on average) 4 times the swipes that men will.

The study in question defined a persons value as the number of positive swipes they received. If a man liked a woman with more positive swipes than him, he was aiming too high. See the problem?
