Back to erotica: how to recover the mystery in the era of sexual exhibition
It is frequent that the habitual users
of dating applications
see in some men (we dare not say that in most of them) that fondness that led the gunmen of the old West to
enter the 'saloon'
shooting at everything that have life and move.
They appreciate it that way from their own experience, like that of Cristina, 42 years old and a flight attendant, with a profile on one of those platforms: "I've been in this for a month and
I'm fed up
with the number of those who enter me. And it's not that I be very special, is that
they all come in.
The same thing happens to a couple of friends who are also looking for a partner. "
What seemed like
a trend in the physical world
over dozens of male generations today can be measured and verified in the
virtual universe
to appreciate in numbers the gender difference when it comes to flirting.
The online journal
ScienceDirect
has published a study based on
3,600 Tinder profiles
that were monitored for their activity over a period of time. The men in the group
gave a 'like' to 60%
of the female profiles offered by the application.
They only did it with 4.5%
of the candidates.
Another research work, this one by two computer engineers,
Gareth Tyson and Vasile C. Perta,
from Queen Mary University of London, also from profiles on Tinder, shows that women usually wait
to receive the first message
once it has been completed. produced a 'match' (mutual interest):
63% of men
send it in the first five minutes; only
18% of women
do it as quickly. In fact, they take an average of
two minutes
to communicate, compared to
38 of them.
"It is a fact that, in general,
women are more selective
than men," says
Isabel Serrano,
an expert psychologist in neuroscience and relationships.
"In the first place, because
we look for qualities
that for a first contact matter less to them, such as educational level, socioeconomic level or the way in which the other expresses himself or
shows his empathy,"
continues the expert.
Thrill hunters and people hunters
Serrano differentiates two forms of approach. One, more masculine, prioritizes
the 'attraction factor':
"It is above all about liking, feeling that she feels good with you, that you are relevant, that you attract attention. That is why often you do not even need contact, it is enough perceive that response in the other person
to feed the ego
and give back to the narcissist. And the more that provide that stimulus, the better. "
The most feminine alternative is to play with
the 'seduction factor':
"In this case, a goal is sought, which can be a
stable partner
or just sex, but to achieve it certain qualities are valued, that is,
one is more demanding
because not there are so many suitable candidates. You focus on one or two
to explore the terrain in advance, "
continues Isabel Serrano. Or to put it another way, "in dating apps you usually find two types of personalities: those that I call
'thrill hunters'
(like the more the better) and the
'people hunters'
(find the right one for what you are looking for) ".
There is no doubt that 'thrill hunters' are more active: receiving fewer positive responses, they tend
to broaden their range of candidates
to increase their chances of success, without giving up on
simultaneous
opportunities
.
The writer and comedian
Chris Donahue
is quite descriptive in that regard: "A man you have been able to meet in a dating app may
have had three more dates
if it took you three days to respond to the message."
