Nowadays, people use dating apps to fill their free time and choose a partner for themselves. However, many times they get rejected from there. Let us tell you why this happens.

Nowadays, the trend of dating has increased a lot. Most people use it to make new friends or to look for a relationship. But there is always a debate in the world of dating. Are women too picky? That is, do they like someone only after being very selective? Often, men complain that women do not swipe right quickly, and due to this, they have to face rejection again and again.

But a recent research published in the journal PLOS One has completely changed this thinking. The research revealed that in reality men have very high standards and often prefer women who are more attractive or desirable than them. On the other hand, women mostly choose men whose popularity or attractiveness is equal to or close to theirs.

What did the study reveal?

The research was conducted on about 3,000 heterosexual users who were using a Czech dating app. The results show that men often show interest in women who are more desirable than them. That is, they look for matches in a 'league above'. In contrast, women are more realistic. They usually choose men whose attractiveness is close to theirs. Sometimes women also like men who are less attractive than them.

What does it mean?

When men say that women reject them, the reality is a little different. Women are not necessarily very picky. In fact, rejection is more because men often choose women who are above their reach. In such a situation, the possibility of rejection naturally increases.

What do we learn for relationships?

The biggest lesson from this study is that if you want to be successful on dating apps, it is important to be realistic. If you choose people whose attractiveness or popularity is equal to yours, then the chances of getting a match increase significantly. On the other hand, choosing people 'out of your league' repeatedly can lead to rejection.

Dating is not just about looks, compatibility and comfort are equally important. So the next time you use a dating app, keep in mind that choosing only the most attractive profiles will not lead to success. It is better to choose someone who is equal to you, whether in attraction, thinking or lifestyle. By doing this, not only will the chances of rejection be less, but the chances of forming a long-term connection will also be more.
