Women on OKcupid rate 80% of men ugly

[Jase]

Has anyone seen the informal study done by OKcupid a few years ago?  It found that women were far more selective in who they find attractive than men.

 

Very interesting.

It's not really rocket science that women are more picky than men is it?

 

[Jase]

well it also shows that even though women are more harsh on a man's looks, they are also more likely to put looks aside and message them, with 60-65% of messages initiated from women being to less than average looking men.

 

Anyway, I expected women to be far less selective.

 

Our wives all probably think we're ugly as f*ck but stay with us anyway.  Sad reality.

Yeah, I think they're def more picky in what they find physically attractive, but at the same time, physical attraction isn't as important to women.

 

Which, as you say, is good for all of us...

They def. don't like statistic nerds.  :D

Also I keep reading the word messaging as massaging.  Weird.

Bell curve strikes again!

maybe there are just more ugly dudes on okcupid than attractive ones

But how many are actually females?
