The Cold Hard Truth about Online Dating
It may hurt but you have to accept this.
You are single and trying your luck online?
If you are a man, this is not very promising. Sorry to disappoint you.
I can tell you from my own experience that women have virtually unlimited access to men online if they want it. Both my ex and my current girlfriend get several messages a day from men who are obviously very interested. Yet both have less than 2000 followers on Instagram, do not post very often, and do not post revealing pictures. Nevertheless, it already happened that they were contacted by well-known athletes.
I can only imagine how it must be for girls with more followers.
So we can say that the competition is very high. Therefore, if you are not incredibly handsome, famous, or rich, it is very difficult to get the attention of attractive women. You are probably better off trying your luck in real life. Here you can convince with other things.
Tinder statistics prove this point
The following data from the most popular dating app Tinder speaks for itself. Although it can be assumed that the most attractive women use this app less. After all, as just described, they already have enough choice anyway.
- 78,1% of users are men, and 21,9% of users are women
- 46% of the time men swipe right, meanwhile, women swipe right 14% of the time
- the bottom 80% of men are fighting over the bottom 22% of women and the top 78% of women are fighting over the top 20% of men

If we translate these numbers:
There are significantly more men than women on Tinder. Also, women are much pickier and like much less often than men.
As if that wasn’t enough, the few likes of the few women focus almost exclusively on the most attractive men. A large proportion of men are left completely empty-handed.
Key Takeaways:
The average man should not get his hopes up too high when dating online. The numbers clearly speak against him.
Fortunately, in real life, unlike online dating, more things count than looks. There is still the possibility to meet women in real life and to convince them with his charisma.
I think that is the better option anyway.
