(24,207 posts)There's a dating website stat that sums it up. 10% of the male profiles get over 90% of the interaction.
There are 10% of the men who are attractive, usually tall, and usually make good money that have their pick. The rest of the other 90% of single men can feel hopeless. And social media makes it seem like the whole world is beautiful and livng their best lives day after day.
I'm married, but I have several single guy friends who fall into that 90%. Thinking of 1 of my closest friends, really just a great person. Smart, hard working, kind, fun, friendly, adventerous, and financially secure. But he's not a looker and has a few extra pounds. He's just resigned himself to being alone the rest of his life. And he's been very frugal, and he would never advertise his wealth, but he's actually a millionaire now. So he'd really be a great catch for someone, but he's not superficial at all and would never let it known to a prospective g/f he has money. I see girls our age just looking right past him not knowing how great he is, because they can't take the time to get to know someone who isn't as attractive as their ideal. Guys like him used to still have a chance.
