Do dating sites benefit women more than men?

Question

What do you think? Do dating sites benefit women more than men?

Anonymous · Accepted Answer

Only in the sense that dating sites are designed to recieve attention from the opposite gender. Most women approach online dating with disdain and do not really want to date any man (save for that rare unicorn that they have virtually no hope of meeting on a dating app). So they go on to dating apps looking for a mythological guy. And they either get frustrated and quit. Or they just stay for the attention and adulation from guys they would not cross the street to spit on.

Men on the other hand need to understand the reality of online dating, or they should NOT attempt it. Your odds of success IRL, is about 10%. A guy needs to understand his odds online are about a tenth of that. So closer to 1% online. No, this is not and exaggeration. Most women who do online dating do it because she knows she has none, or has completely run out of prospects. And most are simply window shopping. You can be the guy who gives her the emotional lift that night. But it's very unlikely she'll actually respond. And if she does it's only because she wants more messages from you. She wants to see you dance for her before she dismisses you.

I'm not saying men cannot be successful on online dating. But you have to understand the definition of success for online dating. You're not going to make uninterested women interested. It's just not going to happen. But you can increase your odds by not empowering the women who are UNinterested. The single best piece of advice I can give a guy for online dating is NEVER message any woman first. You have to understand that the rules of online dating to real life dating are inverse. Women despise online dating because they do not have plausible deniability. Women hate that. In a bar she likes being able to pretend that she's just out with her friends and isn't interested in talking to any guy. She cannot hide why she's on an online dating app. Why do you think so many women put on thier profiles, "I'm just looking to see what's our there". Because she has to let you know from the jump that she considers this beneath her, but you're free to convince her.😆 Don't do it!! Any woman that posts this on her profile, just swipe past her.

Women get 10 to 20 times more matches than men on dating apps. They have their egos fueled because of all the attention they get. They feel desired.

For men, it's a ghost town. No one seems to be interested. Getting even a single match is rare. Men do not feel desired at all. If we had an option to choose between the ghost town and having option overload and just having to filter through a lot of women, we'd hands down choose the latter, as any normal person would.

Women could have a date by the end of the day if they really wanted to. Men, it could be a day, a week, a month, a year or more. It's like winning the lottery when you do.

It depends. Generally, it benefits those who are conventionally attractive, and then women a bit more because men focus even more on attractiveness.

That being said, dating sites often have an algorithm, so a lot of people aren't even shown to others, and the majority have to live with much less publicity, while top users are shown to everyone becazse they can be used to up their statistics. Its where the 80/20 men women thing comes from. Its not about real life dating but was (before it got used out of context) only a statistics from a study analyzing dating sites.

It depends on what you mean by “benefit.” Women often get more attention and messages, giving them more options, while men may need to put in more effort to stand out. The experience can feel easier for women in terms of visibility, but both genders face different challenges navigating online dating.

AviatorTom · Answer

There are usually more men than women on a dating site, which gives a woman a lot more choices. That also means, though, that a woman gets a lot more junk from creepy guys.

I met my wife on a dating site, so we each benefitted.

coachTanthony · Answer

Yes only because they have more to choose from because every guy basically swipes right on everyone.

DishLady · Answer

Personally k think they stink for everyone.

Someone34 · Answer

Dating apps today are used by people who want attention. Most of the time its some fuckbois then there is thousands of women that look the same with the same shallow appearence. Being on a dating app makes you in to a retard just by using it, no reason to use it.

You guys know how it is, people are real shallow today, most who are addicted to social media or guys who actually think its a good idea to send a picture of their cocks to a girl is the ones who frequent these apps.

You know the modern disaster we call a society today. :D

Jove79 · Answer

I seen this one video where a woman said she loves dating sites because she gets hundreds of matches, and will never ever meet a single person from there.. she just enjoys the compliments and then logs off for the day..

Guys go there to find a girl to hang out with.

Zack-Bann · Answer

I think dating apps are a double edged sword for everyone.

Men and women face challenges in getting something good from them

They are not an all you can eat buffet
They are not an online sex club
And they certainly don’t make dating any easier.

It’s just a place that gives you an excuse to have a conversation with someone

Just like meeting a stranger at a bar.
Only virtually.

From there you need to do all the work.
The flirting, the getting to know each other, the dating, the sex, the breakup.
It’s no different than meeting anywhere else

slatyb · Answer

I think it's about equal -- it expands the marketplace for both. We often see posts from unsuccessful men claiming that a woman can always find a partner. So can a man, if they will accept anyone at all. Many men ignore equally attractive women, focusing on the most attractive and desirable. Yes, those women attract many men and have a lot of choice. But women equally as attractive as the complaining men have no more choice -- they see the opposite. The most attractive men have more choice than they do, and they believe that dating is easier for men.

In my experience when I was on the app I’d say for myself I didn’t benefit at all. I was just disgusted.

the amount of guys that swiped on me only for them to say the most disturbing sexual things and also the guys that looked kind that I’d swipe on would say sexual things too. I’m not sure what screams “I want sex” from my profile considering I selected looking for long term and literally had in my bio that I’m not interested in short term or hook ups, even stating that if anything sexual is brought up while getting to know each other that I will unmatch. Yet it was a constant thing that drove me off the app within a few days.
I got “let me put a baby In you” sent to me more times than it should have been

dragoblack · Answer

Yes, because men get screwed by the algorithm if they swipe left, matching is just a waiting game, a great deal of matches are scams, false positives, Onlyfans & sexcam model socilitation, and being ghosted no matter what.

molonski2 · Answer

Obviously women..
And surely bcoz the male pool is ludicrously high , and you even get fat chicks gaining acceptance..
For Fcks sake dating app males , leave or at least have respect for yourself , don't give fatties credence , it's a JOKE.

blueonblack22 · Answer

Well when it comes to hard numbers men usually outnumber women by a brutal factor. Also tie in all the horror stories out there and it makes women paranoid.

One I liked about bumble is women can only swipe men first (or the last I checked). Everything else I hated about bumble but when it came to that I liked it.

beenherebefore · Answer

I think women get way more matches than men do so yes, in a way women benefit more from dating apps than men.

virgo2267 · Answer

They definitely should… cause are more likely to pick her next fuck rather than men….
We are just horny and the slightest attraction of a female (say average body but no so pretty on the face) would do the trick… and yea, women definitely get better chances at landing dates overall

beaves11 · Answer

I have a very, very plain, overweight female friend, who got 1,000 plus likes in a week. I am in shape, decent height, often told I’m handsome etc, and I get maybe 1-5 likes a month.

Yeah. Women have it way easier.

djmzes · Answer

Being having a match does not always result to success and having a match does not translate to failure

It depends on what each is looking for.

Tinder -> casual fun -> success

Tinder-> serious -> failure

msc545 · Answer

Yes they do. Dating sites are a complete waste of time and money for about $80 to 85% of men. For women, they are great because the women get a lot of attention from all the men who they then ignore for the most part.

AgentG111 · Answer

Most favor females as there is less of them on these.

Amri997 · Answer

It benefits neither. But women gets the most attention. Dating apps are like only one bait which is the woman and plenty of fish in the sea which are the men trying to catch it.

4ngelic · Answer

i think women. most dating apps are 80-90% made up of men, so unlike dudes we have a huge pool to pick from and get quadruple the attention on there

blackeagle007 · Answer

For women, it’s like walking into a candy store

AngryCarl2 · Answer

Women get to hook up with a lot of different hot guys. Whether that is the benefit they think it is, remains unclear. What happens when they reach a certain age and the hot guys don't want to hook up anymore?

Anonymous · Answer

Yes in the sense that we get a million responses, no in the sense that it's very difficult to pick out a good guy.

Grant998 · Answer

Women, most men just use it as a numbers game.  Women are seen as the prize. Men are seen as disposable.

Staximus · Answer

Are you serious? When an average looking woman who doesn't look like a bulldog goes on a dating site, it's raining dicks. When an average looking guy does, he'll be lucky if one woman responds.

janemarie15 · Answer

qwerty2469 · Answer

They dont benefit anyone except the people running the site.

Unap0logetic_ · Answer

It depends on the benefit, but I’d say the “high value” people are the ones who are benefiting the most.

Hispanic-Cool-Guy · Answer

I suppose so but depends how the woman looks too? Far Less physically appealing women get ignored too.

zagor · Answer

I would say they generally benefit people who have nothing better to do on a Saturday night than stare at pictures of strangers.

Pohjolan · Answer

By median average it benefits both as much. By mode average it benefits women more.

Phantomshadow77 · Answer

No because most men are just there to hook up and it’s a lot easier to manipulate someone into hooking up than find someone who wants a partnership.

UseYourHead110 · Answer
