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. The difference in amount of sexual attention the sexes receive gives rise to [[hypergamy|female hypergamy]]. Men have fewer options to choose from, so they more likely make compromises and hence end up dating down, which is known as "principle of least interest". | 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).

Another point worth investigating is that women may rate a given man according to a Bell curve (for example, there seems to be a quite large variation in physical masculinity preferences amongst women). So, in particular, a man could be rated as below medium by women on average, but have a non-negligible proportion of women still rate him higher than the computed mean (in other words, he may be their ‘type’). Since there is generally greater variation in the male population than in the female population, it would make sense that women disagree more on a man’s attractiveness than men do about a woman’s attractiveness. Therefore, it would be of utmost interest to see the '''distribution''' of the ratings (or at least, their '''variance''') for '''each''' man.
