Surprising result: The most attractive male profiles get more matches than the most attractive female profiles.

lol the "dating world" ??? There's not proof given that the dating world isnt' exactly like the app and why is the "real world" even a topic of comparison? Dating apps are tools to get dates IRL, they are not supposed to simulate "real world dating". Real world dating is vastly different for different people also and similar to the apps. If people find you attractive, you could get a lot of "likes" but those likes may come coded or hidden behind other form sof communication given the culture you are in.

The irony of it all is that dating apps should train you to like more people, not like less people. The whole reason you are on the app is because you dont like who is near you or htey dont like you.
