Combats the myth that women message ugly men. Shows 18 percent of men receive no messages at all. Femcels message Chad more than incels message Stacy.
Again, patterns of sent messages appeared to fall between the aim-highest and the more tempered models in Figure 1. This difference is greatest for the least desirable [women]senders, whereby fewer than 10% send messages to men at similar desirability levels and more than half sent messages to alters in the medium-high and highest level quintiles.
We also include two summary measures of online dating activity. Outgoing Messages captures the total number of messages sent by the online daters in the sixth-month observation window.

Nearly all women (98%) received at least one message from a man, and about 18% of men received no messages from women.
