Similar tendencies can also be observed in the sexual market in which men and women of highest [[SMV]] have a disproportional number of sex partners. The current body of evidence favors the assumption that the inequality is greater among men, and roughly follows a 80/20 distribution{{citation needed}} (perhaps a bit less extreme). | Similar tendencies can also be observed in the sexual market in which men and women of highest [[SMV]] have a disproportional number of sex partners.

Evidence of imbalances in the dating market are the most extreme in online dating: An internal OkCupid study revealed that, on average, women consider most men to be unattractive, whereas men found an equal number of women to be attractive and unattractive.<ref>http://archive.is/489UV</ref> Further, women receive 8 times as much attention in terms of number of received messages. On average, the least attractive women receive as many messages as above average men. These crass differences exist even though the sex ratio on OkCupid is roughly even. 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 with a sex ratio of 79:21. | Evidence of imbalances in the dating market are the most extreme in online dating: An internal OkCupid study revealed that, on average, women consider most men to be unattractive, whereas men found an equal number of women to be attractive and unattractive.<ref>http://archive.is/489UV</ref> Further, women receive 8 times as much attention in terms of number of received messages.

In a study of Belgian Tinder users, women could get 2-3 times as many casual sexual relationships than men, which is bound to be more because women are known to lie about their partner counts.<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill#Women_get_2-3_times_as_many_casual_sexual_relationships_from_Tinder_than_men</ref> | In a study of Belgian Tinder users, women could get 2-3 times as many casual sexual relationships than men, which is bound to be more because women are known to lie about their partner counts.<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill#Women_get_2-3_times_as_many_casual_sexual_relationships_from_Tinder_than_men</ref> | ||
But there are many other results pointing to substantial imbalances in the dating market, as summarized in the [[Scientific_Blackpill#Hypergamy|Scientific Blackpill]] article. For example women have been found to rate men considerably worse also outside of online dating, to similar extent as on OkCupid. Studies also show that relationships tend to be less stable and sex lives suffer when the woman earns substantially more. | But there are many other results pointing to substantial imbalances in the dating market, as summarized in the [[Scientific_Blackpill#Hypergamy|Scientific Blackpill]] article.
