In 2009, the dating site OkCupid published a blog article titled "Your Looks and Your Inbox" | In 2009, the dating site OkCupid published a blog article titled "Your Looks and Your Inbox" which analyzed the messaging patterns of their userbase broken down by sex and looks. They found that while men rated women on a bell curve distribution centered around medium (5/10), women rated 80% of men as below medium. This data was further analyzed for the book Dataclysm (2014) by OkCupid founder Christian Rudder, providing a more detailed graphing of the original data, demonstrated below, converted to a 0 to 10 rating scale. Christian Rudder expounded on his findings in an interview in 2014, available [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_islsqquXAo&feature=youtu.be&t=2161 here]. | ||
Many in the [[manosphere]] mistook the blog article as solid evidence of [[hypergamy]] and the [[80/20 rule]]. However, it is not as straight forward: The blog article further mentions that "two-thirds of male messages go to the best-looking third of women. So basically, guys are fighting each other 2-for-1 for the absolute best-rated females, while plenty of potentially charming, even cute, girls go unwritten." Further, "women shift their expectations only just slightly ahead […], which is a healthier pattern than guys’". They did however not quantify this differences. Another study based on an unspecified online dating website by Bruch & Newman (2018) also found that in terms of messaging patterns both men and women aim up, but they didn't find men aiming substantially higher (26% vs 23% higher respectively). They also found that only few aim excessively high which is in agreement with observations made K. Grammer: "If she is too attractive he might consider his chances low and accordingly refrain from courting in order to save face." (see Eibl-Eibesfeldt 2017, ch. 4.5, p. 239). | Many in the [[manosphere]] mistook the blog article as solid evidence of [[hypergamy]] and the [[80/20 rule]].
