There is a blog out there by OKcupid admins. They keep track of statistics on their online dating site and do analyses. I found a really interesting one.
They did a study where they asked men and women online to rate the attractiveness of each other. What they found out was hilarious. The results of men rating women showed what looks like a normalized curve. It looks believable. A nice spread between unattractive, average looking and very attractive women. This situation is what you would normally expect in everyday life. Just look around.
The women? They rated 80% of men as BELOW AVERAGE in terms of attractiveness. In what world are 80% of men basically ugly? :crackup:
Delusional to no end folks. :crackup:
Nobody is good enough for the princesses online. I said it before and I will say it again, online dating is a waste of time when you know that you're a decent looking guy offline, but suddenly an ogre online. :crackup:
When I said that if you're a 7 offline, you're bumped down to a 5 online, I was apparently right. I think if anything I wasn't dramatic enough.
Here is a link to the survey:
