FORBES – Men face tougher odds on dating apps because there are more men than women using them (34% vs 27% in the U.S.). On Tinder, men have a match rate of only 0.6%, while women’s is around 10%. Men often aim for women considered more attractive than themselves, leading to more competition and rejection, while women tend to choose partners closer to their own level. This imbalance means a small number of women get most of the attention, while many men get little. In practice, matches usually happen between people of similar attractiveness, not between men chasing out of their league.
