Dating Applications Algorithms Reveal the Barren Truth: Men Pick Young and "Hottest" Women Regardless of Their Age
According to HS (Helsingin Sanomat), a heterosexual man always - regardless of his age - always considers a woman between the ages of 20 and 22 as the most attractive partner. However, heterosexual women think men of their own age as the most attractive.
This is clear from the statistics on the Ok Cupid site.
According to the magazine, men almost always send a message to the "hottest" looking woman,
ignoring other information and thinking about compatibility.
This causes gray hair for webmasters as it results in a few women receiving hundreds of messages.
At the same time, most men do not receive replies to messages they send, and most women do not receive any messages from men.
Youth is praised
- The data in question, I believe, was collected specifically from online dating, largely American men, not all men seeking a partner.
Of course, online dating has become so common that the statistics tell us about something, commented sexual therapist Elina Tanskanen on statistics for Ilta-Sanomat.
Tankanen thinks it would be interesting to conduct a qualitative follow-up study and talk to men about how aware they are of what they do and why.
- We would also be interested in more accurate data on Finnish online dating men, since we are a more equal country than the United States, and we have smaller income differences.
According to statistics for 2012, Finnish spouses have on average just over three years of age difference. It is more common for a man to be older.
- It is not news in itself that especially young women are admired and regarded as attractive. That's what the huge wrinkle cream business and the one-sided catalog of women in advertising show about. Evolutionary psychologists tend to explain this by the fact that women of the most fertile age are at the mercy of the tympanum. The attractive appearance can also be used to make assumptions about a person's personality, even if they had nothing to do with it, Tanskanen says.
Partner selection is guided by many factors, both conscious and unconscious.
“But people differ in what makes each person more interested or excited. Therefore, pondering and questioning one's own desires and needs can be good for one's own dating.

Tiia realized she was using Tinder incorrectly
Me Naiset previously reported about 23-year-old Tiia, who, after three years of tindering, realized she had misused the dating app.
Tiia used to swipe on Tinder to kill time. Only really good-looking people came were swiped right because she was too lazy to get into profiles more than the first few pictures.
Later, Tiia decided to try a new tactic.
- I tried to make the texts and pictures on my profile tell something about me as a person. Now one can, for example, know what I do for a living, what my hobbies and what I'm interested in, Tiia told Ilta-Sanomat.
In addition, Tiia also decided to change her way of swiping. Instead of looking good-looking, he focused on finding men with whom he had something in common - or who made her laugh.
