Most people don't take dating sites as an accurate representation of the real world and with good reason.

The cognoscenti are well aware of the fact that the data from dating sites is somewhat flawed - but what better statistics do you have?

You rightly point out that dating sites are dominated by males - that, in itself, is a telling datapoint!

In environments where women outnumber men (e.g. college campuses, nursing homes) it's the men who are choosy.

You have statistics to back up that claim? Even if you do, I doubt that they will be more robust than the dating site stats - probably based on polling data collected on a handful of campuses, in which a measly few hundred co-eds were interviewed.

This is not even getting into the men who whine about how lonely/sexually frustrated they are while also ignoring every woman who's not an 8 or above. IOW male hypergamy.

Can you cite any studies corroborating this claim?

You seem awfully adept at pulling outlandish claims out of your... hat... and using them to buttress your arguments.

Regards,

Yes, a telling datapoint that women are less interested in casual sex than men, despite the Sexual Revolution's propaganda. It's not exactly news that casual sex is better for men than for women. Nobody with an ounce of sense looks for a life partner on a dating site.

There's not much point in giving links to someone who's clearly already made up his mind, but here ya go anyway:
NIH Study on Loneliness in University Students (Sample size 538 students)

----
Gallup Poll on Stress and Loneliness in University Students (Sample size 2,430; 41% female college students reported loneliness compared to 35% male college students)

Can you cite any studies corroborating this claim?

Go onto any incel site and let me know how many are willing to settle for "Beckys" instead of "Stacys". Now I know that incels are not representative of men in general, hence my words "This is not even getting into...". But it would be equally foolish to pretend they don't exist or that male hypergamy is confined to the incel community. Men naturally want the best looking woman who will have them and there is nothing wrong with that. It only becomes a problem when the man chooses hatred and violence against women rather than to settle for a woman he can attract, even if she is below his standards.
