India, Aug. 31 -- The dating scene is full of assumptions, like women being too picky on dating apps.

The researchers examined almost 3,000 heterosexual users on a Czech dating app. The findings revealed that men pursue women more desirable than themselves, setting very high standards. Women, on the other hand, sought matches with men of similar attractiveness and are sometimes more flexible, choosing partners less popular or attractive than themselves.
