An internal OkCupid study revealed that | An internal OkCupid study revealed that, on average, women only consider about 20% of men to be average or better in looks, assuming 5/10 means average.<ref>http://archive.is/489UV</ref> Further, women receive up to 10 times more attention in most online dating apps. These crass differences exist even though the sex ratio on OkCupid is roughly 50:50. Even harsher statistics can be found in online dating apps such as ''Tinder''. E.g. one analysis of data from Tinder suggested that "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".<ref>https://medium.com/@worstonlinedater/tinder-experiments-ii-guys-unless-you-are-really-hot-you-are-probably-better-off-not-wasting-your-2ddf370a6e9a</ref> Some of these differences might be explained by an excess of males on Tinder, but there are many other results pointing to substantial imbalances in the dating market, as summarized in the [[Scientific_Blackpill#Hypergamy|Scientific Blackpill]]. For example women have been found to rate men considerably worse also outside of online dating, to similar extent as on OkCupid. Studies also consistently show that women tend to have a lower income than their partners, and that relationships tend to be less stable and sex lives suffer when this is not the case. This proves that women are [[Sexual gatekeeper|sexual gatekeepers]]: ''their'' choices decide every aspect of the dating scene. They can afford to aim higher than they deserve because men are innately more drawn to women than vice-versa. | ||
