My sister tried Ok Cupid and even POF, she said most of the men on there are fugly. Most of the messages she got she deleted and those same dudes kept writing her back for weeks asking her to go out. I had a good laugh at some of the funny looking dudes on there. Some players go on there to score chicks but most of them are below average in looks. If you look pretty good you will even appear better when you're matched up with other men there. Average dudes go there because they can't get chicks so it's not really a big surprise when you know the deal.

Is that really true? I have never tried online dating so I know nothing about it.

80% below average?? That seems way too high. Unless of course their average is Brad Pitt look alike. Having said that, a lot of women have unrealistic expectations now days, even the less hot ones, all want their prince charming. They live in a fantasy, especially online but hey they still get plenty of attention so they can afford to be picky.

I think the #s are a bit skewed and here's why:

If a woman rates a man a 4-5 back in 2009 (it's different now; you both have to rate each other 4-5 to get the message) he would get a message saying "she likes you"....

So, the numbers can reflect that women are only going to rate guys they find very attractive as a 4-5. And what do they normally do with the rest? Probably hit 1... That's what I do... What does it matter? If you don't hit 4-5 - there's no purpose in trying to determine if they're a 1-2 or 3. In fact, there's no purpose in choosing between 4 or 5 either.

With that said - I do believe that "good looking" is what most girls set as the baseline when on OKC. They'll talk to guys that are decent enough looking to talk to; but that guy has to do work. If she's totally into a guy - she'd puddy unless he really fvcks it up........
 

Do not be too easy. If you are too easy to get, she will not want you. If you are too easy to keep, she will lose interest in you. If you are too easy to control, she will not respect you.

Only men recognize "average" looks. Average doesn't really exist in the female hamster mind.

There's cute/hot, and there is not hot.

Calling a guy average is like giving partial credit for an exam question. Women use an all points or zero points grading system. Unfortunately, no partial credit is allowed*.

*I don't agree with this, but it is what it is.

Yeah this is spot on. Women confuse genuine interest, for genuine interest in getting laid.

They all go for the tatted muscle guys then complain about how they lie to them and play games with them. Just read their profiles, all they do is complain about guys playing games with them. It's hilarious to read when you really know whats going on. Women have absolutely no concept of what it is to earn or deserve anything.

Well to be fair I'd rate 90% of POF/OKC women below average. Most of them are overweight single moms, so it's not representative of the population. Also if you think about it, guys on OKCupid are guys who can't get women in real life, so there will be a tilt toward more ugly guys on there.

SgtSplacker is spot on about how confused women are...

I came across this thread. Even though the thread is a decade old, it remains a relevant topic (a woman rating 80% of men as below average)

Here's what I don't get: If the typical woman rates 80% of men (in other words, any man below an 8 on the looks scale) as below average, how is it that a lot of sub-8 men get wives/long-term girlfriends/steady casual sex/etc?

A couple of things.
First off, she might not be attracted to him at the start, but contrary to what some of this forum thinks, I think the most important thing she’ll take in account is the personal connection/vibe she senses.

This can’t really be explained through words, but you can tell if someone has good, stable energy, almost an aura you get from them whenever they speak. On the other hand, negative and desperate energy is very easy to sniff out in a guy. You shouldn’t go in thinking you need to pull a girl by the end of the night, the goal is to socialize/have a fun time and she will follow. If you go in with the mindset “I need to get laid and find a woman to go home with me” I guarantee you she will find that energy repulsive. Even if you don’t have a lot of options, act as though you have plenty of abundance. Confidence is like a magnet.

A lot of the characteristics some of you might think work on women (negging tactics, acting hot and cold) shouldn’t be generalized to all women. They’ll work perfect on a subset of women who are emotionally unavailable and most likely traumatized for some reason.

My next point is that a guy you think is sub 7 or whatever isn’t a subjective rating. The woman might consider him just her type, a perfect 10. My boyfriend who I’ve been with for over a year as an example. My roomate for some reason told me she couldn’t see how I found him attractive at all, she said “he’s not cute and acts weird as hell.” My other friends have told me he was “classically handsome,” “very good looking,” and super nice. My point is everyone will have differing opinions on how a guy looks or acts.

Physical attraction might appear superficial but types exist, and the dude you think looks busted looks amazing to another woman.

Ok, you make a good point (about how beauty is in the eye of the beholder)

I recall an alternative/punk/emo girl at my high school saying she's repulsed by a tanned/super buff appearance on a guy. In other words, she finds the stereotypical Chad repulsive.
