You can't say ALL men online want hot bimbos. I wouldn't want a bimbo, and I'm 18!
All men want women that are hot to them. Not all, or even most, of the men on online dating are just looking to get laid. That's just something some women have told themselves. It's just as ignorant as me stating that all women online want rich sugar daddies...
I have several times been astounded at how men rate their own looks. I see a lot of guys (over 40) who make comments about how hot they are... and their pictures say otherwise. And I have a close friend who is quite ugly, but once described himself as a bit better than average.
Maybe this has something to do with the (equally puzzling) way that so many men on CDR insist that women pick men solely based on looks? Maybe if guys are getting dates they figure they must be good looking despite what the mirror tells them? When, really, women are choosing them without reference to their looks.
And, of course, women are trained from childhood to praise men, so they have been hearing all their lives that they are so handsome....
It reminds me of an old Franklin and Bash episode I saw last night, featuring a very plain young woman who believed she was gorgeous. But, you know, that was a comedy.
I had a friend who was below average in looks (morbidly obese for example)who felt he deserved the hottest of the hot. I told him the hottest women wouldn't give him the time of day. He died single.
Honestly, I am somewhat stuck up and I know I am pretty. However most of the guys who contacted me were WAY below my league look wise. Talking beady eyes, large nose, wrinkles, crooked teeth, acne scars, hairy bodies, obese, bad haircuts, etc. Obviously some of those they couldn't fix but most weren't very ugly. Did they honestly think someone like me with full lips, clear skin, average nose, no teeth etc would even be remotely attracted?
I think the difference here is expectations though. Men seem to expect to attract a woman who is really out of their league looks-wise, perhaps because they over-rate themselves or think their personality and/or accomplishments should even things out. Sometimes it does....but they may be striving too high still.

Maybe women should only respond to and message those 20% of men we find visually appealing?
Seems a fair solution to me. Then the current 2 men fighting over 1 woman will have even worse odds .
When have I criticized women for having high standards?
I've not had problem with OLD. It has worked great for me. I get a high response rate and people message me. No complaints at all. My dating life really took off with the advent of OLD in the early 00s (or then is when I started trying it).
