Probably because dating apps are moreso hookup apps and many, ESPECIALLY TINDER, revolve around physical appearance? Dating apps (hookup apps) aren't at all a good gauge for what ppl gaf about irl On this note, Tinder does you guys soooo dirty tho. I swapped phones w my friend, every single girl that spawned on his Tinder was a 10/10 baddie. Every guy on my phone was genuinely horrifying, he was perturbed. I think they're purposefully showing girls only the most trifling guys, then slipping in
The study/data you're referencing is specifically from Tinder! But unfortunately, if you're using dating apps to seek out a partner, it's gonna rely very very very heavily on your appearance. Regardless of gender. Bc it's just a random virtual person. You don't have vibes or energy or personality or anything to go off. Just some digital images and maybe some descriptors
Even as a girl, I can't actually use those things 😭 I'd much much much rather just practice patience and meet someone naturally Honestly, mainly because of how appearance based they are. I feel like ppl on the apps only gaf about me for my looks/put too much stock in physical appearance/too much pressure, and I can't at all gauge interest just by looking at some pics of a guy I need that irl energy flow
