What this study found out (for the lazier ones who do not wanna click on the article)
Overall, the profiles received 8248 male matches and only 532 female matches.
86% of all the matches male profiles received came from other men.
7 per cent of men and 21 per cent of women sent a message after matching with a profile.
Women took their time over writing a message. Almost two thirds of messages sent by men were sent within five minutes of the match taking place, while only 18 per cent of those sent by women were this fast.
About one third of men said they regularly 'casually like most profiles,' while no women said they do this.
93 per cent of women said that they only swiped right on profiles they were actually attracted to.
How the study worked:
Dr Tyson set up 14 fake Tinder profiles in London, half were female and half male.
They automatically liked everyone within a 100 mile (160km) radius, and noted how many they matched with, and then how many sent messages.
Although men were less likely to send a message first, many more men sent messages since the overwhelming majority of matches came from men.
The vast proportion of matches came from men, whether for the team's male or female profiles.
Why women are better at oline dating:
Using data collected from Baihe, one of the largest dating websites in China, researchers from Binghamton University, University of Massachusetts Lowell and Northeastern University analysed the messages and how suitable each person actually was.
Men are far more aggressive on online dating sites - but often 'mass mail' women that are out of their league in the hope of a response, the researchers found.
They say that by comparison, women tend to be more conscious of their own attractiveness to other users and approach fewer people.
The study found major behavioural differences between male and female users when it comes to contacting potential partners.
my personal opinion about this: I want the time back I spend reading this thing. Meh
