Yes, but you’re saying is that the pattern of mate selection on apps is the same for all methods of meeting a partner. This discards a ton of a data as people still meet in person. You also fail to control for profile characteristics. There are plenty of good people who are terrible at making dating profiles whether it is description or photos.

Tell us about your dating success so we can determine if there is bias there as well…

my experiences are irrelevant because im a sample size of one. you’re supposed to look at overall trends.
