Created throwaway account just to provide some insight. In terms of attractiveness, what you see on the internet is usually the top 1% of females, as there's strong effects of "winner takes all" when it comes to attention from the opposite sex. Now, highly ranking females on the internet are getting hit on by hundreds or even thousands of possible male suitors, and the ones with blue ticks, fame/money/clout are the ones taking those girls on dates. Again, winner takes all dynamic. On the flip side you can argue that it's not mentally healthy for those girls and their relationships, but internet addiction does bad things to ones brain. For young guys/girls it makes them depressed as it paints unrealistic standards and tricks the brain into believing lies. My humble advice for men is to work on themselves, improve one's sexual marketplace value and then look for a partner. My advice for attractive females is to be careful of capitalizing too much on their juvenile looks... Once accustomed to a lavish lifestyle, it's depressing when eventually one comes down from the pedestal.
