As with most context-free statistics, this seems to be more complicated that it initially appears.

> Men used it a ton more and women didn’t because they didn’t have to since men mostly did the reaching out. Basically men and women used the rating system differently.

> Also the study the data came from stated that despite the ratings, women consistently messaged both guys they ranked attractive and guys they ranked below average, while men consistently ONLY messaged the women they ranked absolutely topmost. Thus demonstrating that the messaging habits of the sexes are the reverse of the rating data.

whether there are flaws in the analysis or not, every reasonable person knows that if you go to a social setting like club for example, a woman can get laid pretty much anytime as long as she's willing, she only has to signal she is down to it and there will be plenty of men who will jump on board ... now try to go to club as a man and signal your willingness to get laid ... you'll get zero ...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBtF3I7fDfU there's many such videos ... is anyone surprised by the results a great deal of men say yes, when reversed, and a jacked model looking guys asked women for sex guess the results 0.

The reality is that men are willing to have sex with broader range of women while most women want the same guys as all other women ... this is evolutionary as for a guy to reproduce bears no risk so he wants quantity while a woman is incapacitated for 9 months minimum, therefore the choices.

The above guy who called the poor dude an incel just acted like an idiot.
