Lets face it: most people nowadays meet through online daring, and researchers have now utilized that data from various dating apps to quantify romantic attraction and pursuit. In other words, scientists managed to make sense of all those online messages and first dates. LOL.
Their study describes a hierarchy of desirability in the messaging tactics of online daters. Scientists have also found that both women and men messaged potential partners who where on average 25 percent more attractive than they were.
Interestingly enough white men and Asian women ranked highest in desirability measured by messaging metrics which were conducted anonymously and in four major U.S. cities.
Now it doesn’t take a degree from Harvard to figure out that men wrote more messages than women, and women were less likely to respond to a message. Both men and women wrote longer messages to potential dates who were more desirable. The number of words in a message however was not a predictor of successful responses. So guys don’t bother writing long messages because a one word message will get the same work done as an essay.
A few more findings that scientist made were that older women are less desirable (oh didn’t we all know that), but older men on the other hand were, or their wallets shall I say. haha. It also pays to go to college, guys, because as the study found, women desired men more who had a post-secondary education. Women were most desired at the age of 18 (HAHA!!!) and steadily declined until age 60 (NO Thank you). Men got to enjoy an increase in desirability until the age of 50. Now that dating stuff isn’t really different from the Polish Princess Escorting. You guys want that hot young Polish girl, while we want the educated and established gentleman.
