Rehashing the same “data”

Was this study based on first impressions of pictures shown to women on dating apps? I think this kind of data doesn’t do justice to the fact that women’s attraction takes time to build and is heavily psychological while men’s can often be indiscriminatory, instantaneous and heavily visual.

I think these graphs are presenting the way they do because you are taking a male driven model of attraction and applying female data to it. I believe the data would look very different in a study where the subjects got to know each other over a longer period of time in a setting with more direct interaction.

There were quite a few details about this so-called "study" that often get left out in discussion:

1) Even though the men rated most women as average or above and the women rated most men as below average, it showed that the men mostly only messaged the best looking women while ignoring the rest whereas the women were more receptive to messages from men they weren't necessarily physically attracted to if he could catch their attention.

2) The participants in this study were all college-aged. Had this study included men and women of all age groups, I believe that either the men would have rated more of the women as unattractive (since men tend to be most attracted to young women regardless of their own age) or women would have rated more men as attractive (since women's tastes in men tend to change as they get older.)
