Nothing earth shattering, more confirmations of what we already knew: women are extremely picky, only become pickier with more choice, are less satisfied with their picks than men, etc. It's sort of brutal and amusing how the authors straight say women have a REJECTION-MINDSET.
This study really shows how online dating and social media have completely obliterated the dating market by making women's inherent pickiness much worse than it already was.
BUT REMEMBER, PEOPLE TELL MEN THAT THEY ARE THE ONES WHO NEED TO LOWER THEIR STANDARDS
CLOWN FUCKING WORLD @ThoughtfulCel
Here are some direct quotes from the study itself, in the style of the inkwel wiki @Blackpincel
The dating landscape has changed drastically over the past decade, with more and more people looking for a partner online People have never been able to select partners among such an enormous pool of options. [...] The rise of online dating coincided with an increase in the amount of singles in society
People become increasingly likely to reject potential partners to the extent that they are presented with more options
Overall, the adverse effects of choice abundance in dating thus seem to apply particularly to women—the gender that is already much less likely to accept potential partners to begin with, possibly consistent with evolutionary pressures (Buss & Schmitt, 1993).
In all studies, women became increasingly likely to reject potential partners, while for men this effect was either weaker (Study 1), similar (Study 2), or not significant (Study 3).
[...] across all three studies, there was a negative relationship between overall rejection behavior and satisfaction with the partner options participants accepted [...] people who were more rejecting were more likely to be less satisfied with the smaller number of partner options they did accept compared to people who were overall more accepting.
Because women typically reject more, they might also cumulate rejections more quickly and thus more easily adopt a rejection mind-set.
[...] when a choice set increases, people end up being less satisfied with their ultimate partner choice and more prone to reverse their decision [...] when asked to pick the best partner, access to more partner profiles resulted in more searching, more time spent on evaluating bad choice options, and a lower likelihood of selecting the option with the best personal fit
[...] the stream of partner profiles can set in motion an overall feeling of dissatisfaction and pessimism about finding a mate, which leads users to gradually “close off” from mating opportunities. Our findings might therefore explain why people are increasingly dissatisfied and frustrated by modern dating.
[...]across all studies, acceptance rate decreased over the course of online dating.

The lines in the figure represent smoothed predicted means, using the “loess” algorithm of the ggplot2 package (version 2.2.1). The gray area around the lines represent the 95% confidence intervals around these predicted means.

The dating landscape has changed drastically over the past decade, with more and more people looking for a partner online (Hobbs, Owen, & Gerber, 2017). People have never been able to select partners among such an enormous pool of options. As an example, the 10 million active daily users of the popular online dating application Tinder are on average presented with 140 partner options a day (Smith, 2018). While one may expect this drastic increase in mating opportunities to result in an increasing number of romantic relationships, the opposite has occurred: The rise of online dating coincided with an increase in the amount of singles in society (Centraal Bureau voor de Statistiek, 2019; Copen, Daniels, Vespa, & Mosher, 2012; DePaulo, 2017). What could explain this paradox in modern dating?
The abundance of choice in online dating is one of the key factors which explains its success (Lenton & Stewart, 2008). People like having many options to choose from, and the likelihood of finding an option that matches someone’s individual preference should logically increase with more choice (Lancaster, 1990; Patall, Cooper, & Robinson, 2008). However, having extensive choice can have various adverse effects, such as paralysis (i.e., not making any decision at all) and decreased satisfaction (Iyengar & Lepper, 2000; Scheibehenne, Greifeneder, & Todd, 2010; Schwartz, 2004). In fact, it seems that people generally experience less benefits when they have more choice. This observation is reminiscent of the basic economic principle of diminishing returns (Brue, 1993; Shephard & Färe, 1974), in which each unit that is sequentially added to the production process results in less profits.
There is some indirect evidence that having more choice in the domain of dating also has negative consequences. For example, when asked to pick the best partner, access to more partner profiles resulted in more searching, more time spent on evaluating bad choice options, and a lower likelihood of selecting the option with the best personal fit (Wu & Chiou, 2009). Likewise, when a choice set increases, people end up being less satisfied with their ultimate partner choice and more prone to reverse their decision (D’Angelo & Toma, 2017). The adverse effects of choice overload are also mentioned in articles in popular media mentioning phenomena such as “Tinder fatigue” (Beck, 2016) or “dating burnout” (Blair, 2017).
We tested the existence of a rejection mind-set in online dating across three studies. In Study 1, we presented people with pictures of hypothetical partners, to test if and when people’s general choice behavior would change. In Study 2, we presented people with pictures of partners that were actually available and tested the gradual development of their choice behaviors as well as their success rate in terms of mutual interest (i.e., matches). In Study 3, we explored potential underlying psychological mechanisms. Specifically, and in line with choice overload literature, we explored whether the rejection mind-set may be due to people experiencing lower choice satisfaction and less success over the course of online dating. As an additional goal, we explored the potential moderating role of gender. In all studies, we focused on participants between 18 and 30 years old—a group that makes up 79% of all users of online dating applications (Smith, 2018).
