When it comes to the world of online dating, women have an enormous power and leverage advantage over men to the point where even an average or below-average woman can afford to be super picky. A woman that is rated a 4 or 5 in real life would probably be viewed as a 6 or 7 online. It is a known fact that on average, women recieve about 3 to 4 times as many messages as men (and women know this). Because of this, they are rarely the initiators.
Let's look at an example.
Let's say that a woman is walking around in the city and she spots a man that she is really attracted to. In her mind, he is considered an 8 or 9. She proceeds to do everything in her power to try to get his attention. However, her efforts proved to be futile since he never reciprocated. She is left heartbroken at the prospect of never seeing him again.
Let's look at it from another perspective.
Let's say that the same woman received a message on a dating site from the same guy. She reads his message and checks out his profile. In her mind, the same man that she considers an 8 or 9 on the streets is now considered a 5 or 6. So what happens? She ignores him and doesn't lose any sleep over it.
This is why average or below average women in real life would be considered hot on dating sites.

Yep. You're exactly right. I've even met females in real life who due to circumstances I end up talking to online and they flake on me even though in real life I'd have to get a spatula to pill them off me. Not only that but women typically are good at taking pictures. Most know how to use the right camera angle, the right filters, etc. to make themselves look better than they really are.
Meanwhile us guys typically look better in-person than online. I know I do. In real life I get the attention of females, but online it's like you have to say the right things are the right time and they have to be in the right mood etc.
In real life they are just thirsty as hell. So I treat them in real life how they treat guys online.
Exactly, bro. No matter what a woman looks like, she always thinks that she can do better. George Clooney, Brad Pitt, or David Beckham could e-mail her and she would still ignore them. Do you think that would be the case in real life? No way in hell!
Oh and another thing... women usually wear makeup. Men usually don't.
Yeah.
I mean, I feel like this is one of those 7th grade reading comprehension problems, and the correct answer is "The boy should get offline and out on them streets, where he gets those extra 3 points back and becomes an 8-9 again."
No?
Why y'all keep playin the game w/ the 3-point handicap against?
Smh.
Most of the women I know are into a certain type and looking for certain things, they go for the same type of guys whether in person or online. None of my friends raise the bar for guys online however there are a lot of guys online that they would never ever be into that wouldn't have came over and bothered them in real life but do online so they would have turned them down. All my friends but one are married now though.
