woman here. this rings true. i have a female friend who did online dating, with the specific purpose of finding short term encounters. i would say she is an 8 on every guy's scale, a 10 on most. she went after very physically fit and intelligent guys, messaged them, never got a reply back.

So what type of guy did she end up hooking up with? If the fit/intelligent profiles she contacted didnt reply...

What were her results?

@samstave, I can't seem to reply to you, but to answer: nobody.

I'm not buying that a female "9" (on average apparently) went to a popular dating site, messaged a bunch of guys (even 9s themselves) and received no response. There's something else at play here that you aren't telling us or don't know. There are lots of possible reasons no one messaged her back:

1) She messaged only a few people (small sample size)

2) She messaged only people with older, inactive profiles

3) Her information lacked a picture

4) Her profile lacked key information

5) Her picture(s) were bad

etc

You forgot the most likely explanation:

6) All of the profiles for guys who are 9s that she messaged on those dating sites were fake. If a guy is a 9 or a 10, he rarely needs a dating site.
