The discussion centers around the perceived lack of depth in male responses on dating platforms like OKCupid. A user created a fake female profile with intentionally shallow content to test whether men would engage more readily than women. The results showed a significant influx of messages from men, often consisting of simplistic greetings or overtly sexual comments, leading to the conclusion that many men prioritize physical appearance over personality. Participants noted that online dating often reflects a numbers game, where individuals must sift through numerous unmeaningful interactions to find genuine connections. There is a consensus that both genders exhibit shallow behavior in online dating, with many users, regardless of gender, failing to engage meaningfully with profiles. The conversation also touched on the broader implications of dating culture, suggesting that societal expectations and the nature of online interactions contribute to these dynamics. Overall, the thread highlights frustrations with the quality of engagement in online dating, questioning the motivations behind many users' approaches.
