This kind of “research” might be indicative of something for the Tinder generation, but out in real life, meeting an actual person and forming a personal opinion of him or her is very different from looking at a photograph.
Tinder is just the modern version of online dating and ladies always had the pick of the litter online.
Actually, the Tinder data is remarkably consistent with the 80-20 rule that is wreaking havoc on the rising generation.
The 80-20 rule says that 80% of the women are willing, and perhaps eager, to mate with 20% of the men. What this means in practice is harems for the top 20% of men, and lots and lots of frustration as the 60% of the women who are putting out but not getting a “relationship” get ground down and replaced by the next 5-years younger cohort.
Tinder says that the match ratio is 78-22, that is, 78% of its female clients find 22% of the men acceptable for mating.
Agreed. When you ask people to judge from pictures, attractiveness will be the deciding factor, unlike real life.
