Statistics from social anthropologist Eric Tornberg:
"In dating apps, 90% of the likes from women come from men who are taller than 183 cm.
Online dating encourages hypergamy on a massive scale. Hypergamy is the tendency of women to date better men, regardless of their position in the hierarchy. We created a machine where 80% of women try to get the top 20% of men to go out with them."
And another interesting observation of his, how online dating differs from offline dating over time:.
"This may explain why the breakup rate among couples who met through apps is twice as high as among couples who met through friends and family. Friends and family members not only provide better recommendations, but also provide a greater incentive to stay in a relationship when there is social support from family and friends."
He then cites data already known from other studies:.
- Men love 60% of women, women - 4.5% of men.
- The bottom 80% of men compete for the bottom 22% of women, and the top 78% of women compete for the top 20% of men.
- A guy with average attractiveness can expect a little less than 1% of women to like his profile. This means that for every 115 women who see his profile, he gets one "like".
- and if most women fight for these men, ignoring the rest, it creates a large number of lonely women and men. Indeed, 28% of men under the age of 30 reported not having had sex in the past year, a figure that has doubled in the past decade. This level of celibacy is reminiscent of the feudal Middle Ages. In earlier times, these people became monks or cannon fodder in war. But today they only watch porn and play video games."
