I loved the Youtube video where a woman tries to impersonate a man and get a date with women on a dating app. She cannot believe how difficult it is for men: [VIDEO] At about 11 minutes in, the woman says, "Guys don't do this on dating apps. Just don't stop replying. They don't do that. Like, they don't 'ghost'. And, its weird that women do that so often."
[2012] A 2020 version: 18 Yr Old Woman Tries Being A Man on Tinder [VIDEO] She tries to get as many matches and dates as possible using the male host's pictures. Spoiler: after a week of paltry messages and matches, she says she's "struggling" and "feeling down, even though it's not my damn profile. I thought this would be easy. I don't want to do this again. I hate this."
> Thus, if you're an average-looking man, your odds of getting messages are actually greater than they are for an average-looking woman. Any research/analysis on the topic pales compared to reality. Here's what happens in real world ("Tinder Experiment: 18 Yr Old Woman Tries Being A Man!!!"): [VIDEO] . It's a larger view compared to the number of messages, but the principle still applies.
I found this video a while back that highlights what you're talking about.[0] Might be an interesting one to show to your wife. [0] [VIDEO]
