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.

Google: Men are significantly less likely to get matches on dating apps compared to women. Studies indicate that women are 11-15 times more likely to match with someone than men. This disparity is largely due to the fact that men tend to swipe right (like) profiles more frequently than women, while women are more selective in their choices.

I can definitely see that but especially when it comes to the most uninteresting people 😭 they have an essay about what they want in women in their bios but all they do is maybe work out, sleep, and maybe be objectively unattractive

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?

So men are trying to talk to more women. Women are trying to talk to less men. Men match WAY less than women.

Digging deeper. It says although men swipe right way more often, it’s completely common for them to have zero matches. If they were aiming too high, they would swipe the same rate as women. Men are aiming lower, casting a wider net, and still less successful.
