Girls, as Beyoncé says. Yet research shows women aren’t quite ruling dating apps and websites like Tinder, Hinge, The League, and more. “Most women — regardless of sexual orientation — do not send the first message, with straight woman 3.5x less likely to compared to straight men,” a new report from OkCupid reads.
Then, who should like first on Hinge?
The inequality likely stems from who’s initiating. Among Hinge users, men are three times more likely to send the first like. When it’s a woman starting things off, their likes are distributed among a much smaller group of men.
Additionally, why do guys not message first?
Hesitant men may feel that you are too strong for their personality. In reality, they are scared or intimidated by your strong personality. As a result, they may avoid texting you first. His insecurities could also play in the back of his mind and hinder him from starting a conversation on the text.
