I could still see the "desire" in the women's eyes for their fantasy to be true while they were telling their story. Crazy.

Was only able to read the intro to this article in the Economist (the rest is behind a paywall) about age gaps in dating. The results of Ok Cupid research shows: CD “ That’s the theory. In practice, research conducted by Christian Rudder, co-founder of OKCupid, a dating website, suggests that when it comes to age gaps, men and women have slightly different ideas. While female users look for men roughly the same age as them (or perhaps a year or two older) men prefer women in their early twenties, regardless of their own age. While women prefer a small and constant age gap, men are so hooked on the idea of a nubile young partner that they prefer a larger age gap the older they get.”
Maybe this is why guys get so few responses? Because they’re messaging much younger women? Discuss.
(Also, if anyone has access to the Economist, what else does it say?)

I can tell you I have absolutely zero desire to date a 20 something year old and relatively zero desire to date anyone in their 30's. That said I have dated women about 10 years youngers.
So from what I have read is that there are several problems with OLDing:
1. People in general overvalue themselves. The 5s see themselves as 8s so they try to date the 8s who see them as 5s and of course everyone is trying to date the 10s which are limited in supply and know that scarcity creates value. So in a nutshell 100% of the people are trying to date the top 10%. 2. Too many options. In 2000, psychologists Sheena Iyengar and Mark Lepper from Columbia and Stanford University published a study about jams. On a regular day at a local food market, people would find a display table with 24 different kinds of jams. Then on another day, at that same food market, people were given only 6 different types of jam choices. Guess which display table lead to more sales? Exactly. Iyengar and Lepper found was that while the big display table (with 24 jams) generated more interest, people were far less likely to purchase a jar of jam than in the case of the smaller display (about ten times less likely). The study shows that while choice seems appealing, at first sight, choice overload generates the wrong results. 3. Scammer, ghosters, players, catfishers etc. 4. Bad profiles, no game, on the wrong site etc. 5. No patience. It's a grind.
I’d agree with all your points except number one - zokCupid’s data apparently shows you’re in the minority LH.
I’d add that it’s important not to take things personally. Many people won’t respond to you and the reasons may have nothing to do with you. They may not be online that week, they may have just had a promising date the night before, you may look like their bad ex, they may realize from something in your profile that the two of you aren’t a match.
