The Proof: Tinder.

It works like this, you see pics, you swipe right if you like it or left if you don't, if she/her likes you back a chat option with that person is opened.

Tinder is all about looks really, there's little details on it, very rarely the user would even click on the pic to see the interest below, my first 2 uses of it and I found myself swiping right (liking) for like literally 90% of girls...because seriously I found them all good/ok looking.

When I watched how my female friends use it, they literally swipe one right 1 in 50, and every like always turn to a match.

Of course they didn't dismiss all these guys because of their personalities because there's no way to know.

Girls are minority on dating websites so we can afford being picky.

BTW. You can actually say something about the personality just by looking at some photo. Clothes, environment, face expression, eyes - they all are cues. Of course there is nothing specific but if you see a selfie of a guy in plain t-shirt, that doesn't smile, his eyes look bored/tired and the surrounding looks like a teenager room you can assume you are dealing with a depressed, boring guy that still lives with his parents, has no real idea what to do with his life and thinks a girlfriend will make him happy.

i think it stands true that a lot of men will take whatever they can get in online dating, women know this, so they're going to want the best possible

it's very difficult to accurately judge the dating scene based on what you see off tinder, that app is useless for real dating, it's just a hookup app

Culturally there is one and only one reason, because they can. Women hold the power in dating because many men are desperate, especially the men who cannot 'pick up' women at a club because they lack the looks, interest or social skill. In the past most relationships ( roughly 75% ) were formed through courtship which was often initiated through family ties or friends. This doesn't exist any more because of the surge of individualism so many men feel completely lost in the competition.

Tinder is kind of a meat market where you will be most definitely denied unless you have above average anaesthetics. You are better off going to a normal dating site which will yield you better results if you are looking for something more serious, although you will still see most ( or almost all ) of your messages to women ignored and unanswered. That is just how it is, if a woman gets 30 messages in a week she is going to choose the most attractive one. You just have to kind of play along until you are lucky enough to meet a genuinely nice woman who likes you for your personality rather than looks.

There are way more women on tinder than men. I have hundreds of new matches every day, even though I only swipe 1/50 of men to the right. I just can't afford to swipe every sort of decent looking guy to the right, I would be answering messages non stop. Doesn't mean I wouldn't date those average looking men in real life.

^ I was swipping right without thinking of sex; the majority were simply good looking in my opinion; so yeah maybe I am not picky when it comes to looks (but very picky when it comes to their views on atheism/religion/homosexuality/sex etx but none of that can be seen on tinder)

Here is some interesting tidbits from wikipedia on online dating:

"There is some evidence that there may be a difference on how women online rate male attractiveness as opposed to how men rate female attractiveness. The distribution of ratings given by men of female attractiveness appears to look like a standard bell curve (normal distribution), while ratings of men given by women is highly skewed with 80% of the men rated as below average.[41] This shows women are genuinely more picky than men when it comes to online dating. It could also potentially arise from women assessing other profile characteristics besides appearance, like their occupation."

"On any given dating site, the sex ratio is commonly unbalanced. A website may have two women for every man, but they may be in the 35+ range, while the men are generally under 35. Little is known about the sex ratio controlled for age. eHarmony's membership is about 58% female and 42% male,[39] whereas the ratio at Match.com is about the reverse of that."
