The dating app study is being brought up and people forget that
1) it dating app profiles are fulll of "don't even try if you have sharp knees" and other huge displays of misoginy
2) most men makes profiles that they think look attractive based on what the pathriarcal society tells them what looks attractive, in which we falls into what the internet calls the hugh jackman problem

Often true, but not always. There are plenty of likes Tinder makes a point not to show you so it starts piling up, specially after a subscription. My once a year real hardcore™ one month attempt ended recently and in less than a week I got 8 likes. Only two of them actually matched despite every day I right swiping the first profiles because I know that's something Tinder does.
Also, this. I can certainly believe men's profiles are horrible and many are full of shit but let's not pretend women profiles aren't like 95% either incredibly generic, empty, just a link to their instagram or a massive "what I want from you" check list that fails to even try to explain why the 6'4 rich guy with a six pack that likes travelling and will take her for wine should match her. Tinder is one place where It's very a clear a case of people being shitty in general, at least as far as the profile goes. Messaging wise I have no doubt guys send much worse shit lol.

Yeah, totally, and like I said it is still good advice for people to keep looking for ways to improve themselves. And honestly you'd be shocked at how many gay guys could use similar advice, haha.
Oh yeah I totally get that. But it just seems like I got well below what other people get, most seem able to at least manage a date a week or so whereas I was lucky to get one a month. Honestly becomes kind of disconcerting and feeling like a total waste of time when you spend a bunch of time swiping or sending short like messages to not hear back from like 99% of people.
Thanks. Hopefully someday I'll find something that works for me.
Are you trying to say that the study results are the way they are because there are too many men with their shirts off on dating apps? If it were that easy to get dates by putting on a sweater I'm sure they would have figured it out. The mag on the left is a fitness mag by the way. It don't know what that has to do with dating apps.The dating app study is being brought up and people forget that

Maybe women find a disproportionate amount of men to be unattractive, because of how men make their profiles
Facts.
I think you're reading this wrong.
Because men follow changes in trends and desirability. Wealth has always been an important factor no matter how you spin it.
Yeah, I think there's a ton of people mixing up these issues.
That's part of it, absolutely. But I think that part would usually come into play once you've actually secured a date and then just prove to be an alt-right asshole after the fact. A lot of the right wing shits get plenty of success in finding dates and hookups, just not so much in long term relationships.
Yep, this is the best advice imo. Easier said than done, of course, but if you're unsatisfied with how terrible these apps are, just ditch them.

I think that to suggest the study results would be drastically different if men just toned it down is a bit dismissive, as if they couldn't figure it out by looking at the profiles of more successful men. I don't know why that is the answer many of you are clinging to. Just because some men are coming on too strong doesn't mean you can make a generalization to dismiss a study.
