The articles misses one important factor: Tinder, Bumble, Hinge, OKCupid et al. have changed the market in such a way that in a large city, even the homeliest of girls can log on and within hours arrange sex with a guy who she would otherwise have no prospects of a long-term relationship with, but is well above the attractiveness level she would have previously had access to.

I haven’t just read this online; I have seen this with my own eyes, with multiple female acquaintances, none of them exactly venuses, showing me the guys they’ve been meeting up with.

The fact stands that guys are a lot less choosy than girls, and this necessarily includes the guys who are also more physically attractive than most.

As online dating has become the norm, this causes a drought for a larger portion of men than before.
