    I wasn’t specifically talking about online dating, but women are generally more desired by men than vice versa, whether online or in person.

    I can’t imagine online dating to be useful than for more than a handful of people in my opinion.

    I was more saying since we are all online more, we are all interacting in person a lot less, which allows for more organic interactions…

      Yeah I agree. Wanting to Go back the good old days is what is causing this trend. Though Realistically all the social skills in the world won’t bag you the girl if you are average right now. I knew a few coworkers that wouldn’t even talk to a guy unless he was a 666 man. 6 figures, 6 feet, 6 pack. No surprise they are single. I wonder if their POV changed overtime, they were in early 20s at the time. I know my old roommate lowered her standards super hard over 30 to bag a husband.

          The Sample size is rather small from personal experience. I am curious if such data exists.

            I don’t think I understand what you are saying. Data does exist.

            Taller men are generally seen as more attractive.

            Wealthier people, or people who pay attention to the latest trends in general are seen as more attractive.

            Healthy and fit people are generally seen as more attractive.

            All of this is true, but so what. If someone is hyper focused on getting a man or woman to be with them who has these or other specific physical and / or socioeconomic traits, isn’t that for them to decide?

            If you only want to date women who have been on the covered of the sports illustrated swimsuit edition, isn’t that your choice also?

            What’s your point?
