80% of women sleep with just 20% of men. The above is just a visual representation without the sex and all the attraction 🤷‍♂️

“Scientists discover people more attracted to hotter people” did people think it was gonna be like an Adam Sandler movie?

The problem isn’t the “attracted to hotter people” it’s the falloff. Interestingly OkCupid (before it was purchased by the same company that owns all online dating apps) did a bunch of experiments on their users, and while ethically it was questionable at best. It revealed that men rated woman averagely (as expected) however women rated men as mostly unattractive. (See chart below) aka the average woman is not attracted to the average man.

Okay but you also have to think about it in the sense that women do a lot of things to look much better than men on average. Much more skin care, hair care and styling, plucking/waxing/shaving, makeup & dieting, so logically, wouldn’t women be looking better and rated higher as an overall group than men?

Also women know how to show themselves off better in photos and how to actually show their attractiveness where as men on dating apps take a low lit photo of them off in the distance or over exposed photo with a fish on a random day, so the level of demonstrated attractiveness based solely on the photo quality would be realistically much lower for men and much higher for women.

Even the most attractive men have some of the shittiest photos on dating apps that make them look a lot less attractive than they are, so I would take dating profiles and ratings with a massive grain of salt than genuine sentiment of perceived attraction.

You have to look at the methodology though, cause they weren’t just asking to rate men’s overall objective attractiveness like a test score, they were asking to rate their attractiveness *relative to other men*. Which means it’s not just that men are failing to present themselves well; it’s that women have skewed expectations in terms of what the average actually is.

When women rank 80% of men as being below the male average, only 12% as at the male average, and only 6% as above the male average, what that means is that what most women *believe* constitutes average is waaay off from what the average man actually is. And there are other studies that have backed these findings up.

What are the other studies if you don’t mind me asking?

If you think the data shown demonstrate that women are unwilling to date a man in the bottom 80% of attractiveness, I think you’re misinterpreting things. It’s far more probable (and consistent with my experience) that women experience attraction to men in the wider context of how they interact with them kn personal settings. They aren’t as liable to be swayed by a man’s appearance if he’s a complete stranger to him.

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0272775719301104?via%3Dihub This one is on based on Tinder users. TL;dr men tend to swipe right on about 62% of female profiles, whereas women swipe right on less than 5% of male profiles.

For that one it’s not relative, it is just absolute of did you swipe for or off of them, and there you see that drop from the OKCupid data, from ‘20% of them are at or above average’ to ‘only 5% of them are actually good enough for me’.

Why would you swipe right on more than half of the profiles? Being “interested in everybody” means you’re not interested in anybody. Being cautious in dating is how you protect your time.

Hate to break the news to you but if guys did only swipe on very few people that they are extremely interested in on dating apps they would literally never get a match. Every guy I know who has been on dating apps and talked about it significantly lower their standards. You also have to take this data with a grain of salt because a ton of men on dating apps just want sex and I know they aren’t that picky

That’s.. not how interest works? Swiping right isnt some major commitment, it’s just saying you’d be open to talk to them if they’re open to talking to you.
