One important fact that was omitted from OkCupid's blog article is that ''men receive substantially fewer messages'', which was also replicated by Bruch & Newman (2018). Rudder found that women receive 7-8 times as many messages per week as men even though the sex ratio of active users is roughly equal. In the second graph below one can see that this roughly holds true across all percentiles of looks. An analysis of the slopes suggests that both men and women care roughly to the same extent about looks (in line with [[Blackpill#Women_are_just_as_.27visual.27_as_men|other findings]]), but women are overall much more passive in their dating behavior. | One important fact that was omitted from OkCupid's blog article is that ''men receive substantially fewer messages'', which was also replicated by Bruch & Newman (2018).

The least attractive women receive as many messages as way above average men and the number of messages the least attractive men receive is very small (just about 0.3 to 0.4 messages per week). The least attractive women receive 1-2 messages per week. If there is a lowest threshold of attractiveness below which waiting for an opportunity in online dating is practically futile, this will certainly affect unattractive men much more than unattractive women. Men have fewer options to choose from, so they more likely make compromises and hence end up dating down | The least attractive women receive as many messages as way above average men and the number of messages the least attractive men receive is very small (just about 0.3 to 0.4 messages per week).
