Choice abundance in online dating results in daters, particularly women, immediately rejecting more hypothetical and actual partners (Pronk & Denissen, 2019)

It reflects how women are slaves to their biological needs just as much as men are. When given the ideal partner, they'll pass over him for the chance of man with even greater value, despite that man of too great a value.

Science needs to look into ways to reduce female hypergamy.

It's also self-sabotaging for women that are looking for a commited long term (monogamous) relationship.To quote the study:

Overall, the adverse effects of choice abundance in dating thus seem to apply particularly to women – the gender that is already much less likely to accept potential partners to begin with, possibly consistent with evolutionary pressures (Buss & Schmitt, 1993).

As a consequence, the initial benefit women have in their likelihood of having a match dissolved in the process of online dating.

Most men see how it makes it more difficult for them.

But women also self inflict, limiting themselfs to much and making it more difficult for themselfes. But 99% won't see it. The big difference, is that men have no power to change this, but women have only that power (by just putting themselfs on: restriction (no more then.. minutes per week @ dating app; not checking more then .. matches per week, etc...).
