       Men need to lower their standards on dating apps, new study shows

   There's long been a theory that, on dating apps, 80% of women are pursuing
   the top 20% of men - but new research reveals it's actually fellas who are
   aiming too high when swiping for love.

   International researchers analyzed the behaviors of almost 3,000
   heterosexual users of a Czech dating app, with their findings published
   earlier this week in the PLOS One journal.

   "Men tended to express interest in women who were more desirable than
   themselves, while women typically pursued men of more similar
   desirability," the team uncovered.

   similar desirability," the team uncovered."Men tended to express interest

   To classify how desirable each user was, researchers counted the number of
   swipes they received from other people on the app.

   There were more male users, meaning that female users "generally ranked
   more highly in this hierarchy."

   Despite being spoilt for choice, the research revealed that women
   sometimes "chose slightly less desirable partners on average."

   However, the study showed that successful matches tended "to happen
   between people with similar levels of desirability."

   Thus, to avoid feeling frustrated and rejected when using dating apps, the
   research suggests that men should be realistic about their own
   desirability and not attempt to date out of their league.

   "Our research on a Czech online dating app shows that while men often aim
   high when choosing whom to contact, successful matches tend to happen
   between people with similar levels of desirability. This pattern is
   largely the result of rejection, rather than an initial preference for
   similarity."

   "The successful matching outcomes tend to align more closely with women's
   preferences than with men's. This likely reflects women's stronger
   position in the online dating market, as men outnumber women and are often
   expected to make the first move."
