It's like Google or Amazon. Think about it - how often do you click on the first result that comes up compared to the result on page 16? Women that go online can get thousands of matches within a week. You need to be on the first page of results or you don't even exist.
I think that's true too. Especially on the dating sites that are messaged based like POF or Match. If you message them it's best when they're online to catch them. If you message them and they're offline for 4 days it's unlikely they will scroll 5 pages back and your message won't be marked read because you got 45 other guys ahead of you.

Tinder had an ELO rating (they changed the name) that you were assigned based on his attractive you were to others (more right swipes => higher ELO). So the higher your ELO, the further at the top your profile went. Rich get richer.

I'm 6'0", roughly 7.5 facially and am well muscled with a visible 6 pack. I have over 1,500 matches on hinge. I would expect a white guy with similar aesthetics to do far better.

What is your location? Surely it's not in an area less than 50,000.

Female height filters are insane. Do you know what percentage of the population is 6'5"? In fairness they're likely so high in order to combat men lying about their height. If women know "6'0"" translates to 5'10", they'll adjust their filters accordingly.
 

Create self-fulfilling prophecies. Always assume the positive. Assume she likes you. Assume she wants to talk to you. Assume she wants to go out with you. When you think positive, positive things happen.

That's why I may add six inches to my height when I try OLD again.

Interesting. How long have you had your account? And do you bother liking their profiles or do you just rely on them liking yours? Last Q, how often do you get "roses" ? I would assume getting those regularly indicate you're in the top 10%, especially if you're a guy.

I have strong filters on and I rarely like their profiles, I just go off ones that like mine first since they're stronger "leads". Quality over quantity sort of thing. Oddly enough having strong filters on (age, distance) seems to force the women outside of your filters to be more attractive. No idea if that's by design or what.

Honestly most women have terrible visuo-spatial awareness anyway. Most of themprobably cannot accurately estimate what 6 inches or 6 ft look like. I'm a hair over 6' but maybe I'll have to put 6'1 or 6'2.

Women lie about age, height, weight, career, old photos etc. No reason to do the same. Always add a couple inches to height and beef your career up in your bio.

Last woman who i messaged on pof uses 6 year old photos i noticed. I went on her facebook and they were pics she posted in 2016!
I remember a gal in Ukraine that was smoking hot in her photo. Then she showed up a good 15 kg heavier, and it was ruined for me. :(

Haha... When I show up at 5'6" instead of 6' it may be a little obvious.
 

Don't always be the one putting yourself out for her. Don't always be the one putting all the effort and work into the relationship. Let her, and expect her, to treat you as well as you treat her, and to improve the quality of your life.

I like their profiles. Maybe a couple of roses per month.

Well, I am fit, bit I am not jacked with a six pack.

Maybe I overestimate my attractiveness :oops:

What explains tinder after a couple of days when it lets you photo verify your profile you suddenly get a bunch of likes.

I just increased my height from 6'0 to 6'1 and already started getting more matches. Women probably don't have a clue, what 6' actually looks like, but because they're so used to guys lying, they probably assume 6' = 5'10 in OLD, so **** it,

My profile got liked from 5 different Asian women in the span of two days since making this change. Used to be quite rare, like 1-2x a month. Coincidence?
