2010 is a very long time ago when it comes to the online dating sphere. I wonder how relevant this article is today.

This video is extremely accurate. Being an average looking guy is soo depressing.
Even being good looking is not enough. Here's an Asian male model not getting dates through online dating: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nAo_mZMIUgg

Try to be in the bottom 10% of attractiveness.Heavy sigh.
Look at yourself as being in the top 90% instead.

I'm not, the bottom 10 does not belong to that group.
Well it's only one person away.

No. The ugliest person in the world also belongs to the bottom 10, percent or otherwise.
Try politics. Lots of people doing well there regardless of looks.
That’s the power of... power.

It's irrelevant to today.
In 2010 it was weird to date on the internet. In 2020 everybody and their mother is on tinder.

The behavioral patterns haven't really changed, although the sites themselves have.

Sadly, OkCupid resembles the pay sites it describes in this blog post much more now than it resembles the 2010 version of it. The posts on reddit.com/r/okcupid paint a pretty bleak picture of it today.
It was bought by match.com
Which, of course, why this blog post was deleted.
