• 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."
