>The average woman on dating sites gets hundreds of messages, and the average guy gets tens. That is a MASSIVE imbalance in favor of women.

Not sure that's necessarily a massive imbalance. It depends on the quality of the guy sending you those messages, and maybe on the actual message that they send (but it's more important that the guy is hot than that what he says is funny or something).

For example, I get a ton of emails from spammers about penis enlargement methods, and I rarely send my own emails asking if they have any penis enlargement methods available. Does that mean there's a massive imbalance in favor of me? It's not like I'm at a huge advantage because of all this email I'm getting.

The trope that most messages women receive from men are lewd and that's why women are more selective in their swipes is way overblown. The majority of men are normal and cordial in their approach. I don't doubt that most women will experience sexual harassment at some point, but that doesn't mean most men sexually harass women. It's a minority of men doing the d*ck pics and sexual harassment, so it's a non-sequitur as to explaining why women tend to be more selective in swiping and have more matches/messages online.

Agreed, that does sound overblown
