I don't believe so, all the average-looking women i met showed me how many tons and tons of messages and matches they get. Some of them even didn't put any photo.
And they were very average-looking women.
Now, a model-like woman may get like 1000 messages per month (from the entire world), while a conventionally unattractive woman may get 50 messages per month (mostly local), the latter is still a lot - much more than even a model-like looking male would ever get.
I'm assuming this must have been 8+ years ago when online dating was at its zenith.
I know a very pretty woman who gets maybe 7-10 messages a week on average. The other girls I know are ordinary-looking and get messaged around a few times a month. Even the super photogenic people stop getting loads of messages after a certain amount of time because the longer your account has been in the system, the less frequently you are factored into the site's algorithm. The playing field eventually gets evened out to some extent. And the stream of initial messages are usually just man-spam.... stuff like "I wanna give you rough anal tonight" and rarely ever signs of genuine interest as a human being.
I found that my "success" was directly related to the type of photo I used. When I had a traditional portrait-style work resume photo, absolutely ZERO people contacted me. I changed it to a more relaxed selfie with ample cleavage, and suddenly my inbox was flooded. However, they were mostly just man-spam (equivalent to catcallers on the sidewalk) and even they stopped coming in after a few weeks. When I tried to respond and get a conversation going, it would usually fizzle out after a few messages. In total, I only ended up getting 2 dates from OKCupid.

And if ugly women won’t even date you?
But how do you date someone you find unattractive?
If you approach a woman with the attitude of "well, you'll do" how on earth could you expect her to want to go out with you? Nothing is a huger turn-off than a guy who's just rolling up on you because he's desperate and any woman will suffice for him. It's always extremely obvious.
