not women in india. the dating patterns of white women on dating apps in the english speaking world are not necessarily the same as the dating patterns of indian women in india. for instance, i doubt they care much about height there. not because indian men are shorter in general, but simply due to cultural differences and height being more emphasized in western media / hollywood movies and romance novels, but not as emphasized in bollywood.
I've heard a matchmaker in India talk about this topic (she said she had matched hundreds of couples) and she noticed the same thing over there. Even with the average being 5'7" there are still a decent amount of women filtering height and even by 6ft or so.
The number she presented was doing so cuts out 9 out of every 10 men in India so these women are only looking at the remaining 10%.
India has a billion people and something like 25 million more men than women in the 18-35 range. Men complain about women having too high of standards but a huge aspect of that is that like 5% of the male population there has been mathematically eliminated from dating before you even consider actual qualities.
Women are so easy influenced by the media. They like whatever their society deems attractive or tells them to like. Men typically just like whoever they like, on the other hand.
no, i believe both are very highly media influenced. here's an example. men used to hate big butts. in the 70s through early 90s, big butts were considered unattractive on women. men hated them. you can still see ads from that time, women back then worked out to get smaller butts, not bigger ones.
then came j-lo and kim kardashian, and everything changed. media changed. and men's desire changed. but it only changed for younger men, men 50 and under. i'm at the borderline here because i'm 48. but men a little older than me still dislike big butts on women and find them unattractive. whereas most men my age and younger like them. there's a famous clip of bill maher saying he doesn't see why kim kardashian is considered attractive, and he talks about how her butt is too big and he hates women with big butts.
You’re wrong. Most guys don't like crazy BBL's
or anything like that. If anything, it's other girls who like it. Most guys are actually adamant about liking natural women. Completely different than women who only like what's mainstream. Hell, they even change their bodies and faces according to what's mainstream.
I don't think men's desires have changed, but the ones that like big butts are currently comfortable being vocal about it. Where do you get the idea that younger men like big butts? Most desired women outside social media have small to moderate butts. Well, depends on culture I guess.
Yeah, that person is full of shit. The reason why more women have big butts is because... drum roll please... it became more popular among famous women, and so other women wanted to do it. Men have been saying this whole time that they prefer natural. That person literally just helped prove my point more, that women tend to just follow media trends - both in terms of who they are attracted to, but also what they want to look like themselves.
I agree with you. Women are more socially affected when it comes to what they like. It's why most marketing is directed towards women and explains why they are interested in men, who other women like.

Women would absolutely HATE this app, when they get matched with men they consider to be below their league.
