I live about 15 minutes from a major metro area in the US, not a massive one like new york but still fairly large. I would say my looks are roughly a 7. I am not quite a chad but I'm definitely good looking enough to for instance pick up women for casual sex at a bar. I'm in my late 30s (Still have hair). 6' tall exactly, white, brown hair, blue eyes. I'm not going to post any pictures for you freakazoids so don't bother asking.

I tried 24 hours of Tinder/Bumble in my area, and 24 hours spoofing my location to Manila with OkCupid; these are my results. Only preference settings were 25-34 age range. Default distance. I have 2 pictures up that I think are pretty accurate representations of me, 1 is a closeup of my face and the other is a mirror selfie to show my body. My actual profile is the same on each app. I also did not pay on any of the apps, so I don't have any premium bullshit.

Tinder - This seems to be literally Chad or bust. I don't know wtf is going on here. In 24 hours I matched with 1 single girl who was a baddie (I'd give her a 7, maybe 7.5) who proceeded to give me 1 word responses and then unmatched after a few hours of me not responding back because I'm not that desperate. 2 girls I would say were 6s. The rest of my matches were mostly in the 3-5 range, mostly very overweight girls who would not even dare to talk to me irl. Total likes after 24 hours: 12.

Bumble - Bumble seems to have less popularity, but I ended up with pretty similar results to Tinder. Basically only fatties liked me, or some extremely tall women. None of them I would consider even close to my own attractiveness. Totaled about 6 likes on Bumble.

OkCupid in Manila - I had just slightly over 100 likes in 24 hours. Baddies, average looking girls, everything. Now the thing is, all of these women also don't give me half-assed responses. Almost none of them give no effort 1 word responses (they're actually interested) and some even message first. The atmosphere is completely different. I do feel like an actual Chad here. Almost every single swipe is a match. The girls are generally cute. It's literally a night and day difference.

Not all of the girls in the Philippines are lookers but the main takeaway here is that the AVERAGE of the women who matched with me is AT LEAST 2 points higher. Like if I'm going to average the looks of my American matches, I'd give them maybe a 4. The average of the women who matched me in Manila is about a 6. A lot of them still lower than me, but I actually did get matches with girls higher than me, a couple 8+ baddies.

Another thing to note, the women tend to be open to dating with bigger age gaps as well. Like the ONLY 25 year olds that matched me in America were hideous. They did not seem to mind in the Philippines. One girl actually told me she lied and set her age to 25 so older men would give her more of a chance, and that she was a 20 year old virgin.

I know women will want to come in here and say "they're just trying to play you for your money, they're not actually virgins, yadda yadda." But this has been a really eye opening experience to the delusion of American women. I am the type of dude that women don't want to become a passport bro, because I would kill it there and actually be happy, but not Chadly enough for America.
