Women may get a lot of attention, but it's not necessarily the attention they are seeking. You should hear the stories my close female friends have told me. A lot of guys are truly pathetic.
What Nordic features? He's Jewish, it's obvious. They're both "ethnic", from that perspective. Who cares? They're happy. That's all that counts.
Also, Asian cultures typically love a very smart Caucasian man. A Caucasian man who's smart will typically have the same viewpoints and such as the wife, if she's intelligent as well.
My manager has always loved Asian culture and his wife is from China. They are lock step with each other on how they view frugality and child upbringing. He's even said he could never marry a Caucasian woman. How he and her think are polar opposite.
BOOM the supply of male attention has suddenly gone way up. Demand for male attention is still the same. Now women are getting dozens of messages a day from men so they don't feel the need to message anyone back. Meeting men IRL loses its value and importance when in the back of her head she knows he has a constant supply of other men wanting to meet her from her online presence. Women have become really picky and choosey with dating because they have a ton of male attention.
I tend to do better with speed dating than online.
I am currently blogging my latest experience with OLD, specifically, Ok Cupid. Day 1: Profile was viewed 30 times. Day 2: 11 views. Day 3: 8 views. Day 4 (today): 4 views so far.
Number of messages I have received from someone who meets the basic criteria of living near me AND is between the ages of 35-48? One - and it has the hallmarks of being a bot/fake profile. Number of messages I have received total: 11. Number of those 11 messages that came with a warning to avoid internet scams: 5. Number of non-scam warning messages that say something other than "hi?" None.
Number of men I have sent messages to: 14. Number of men who have responded to my message? 1.

^^^^this, 100%^^^^
The overwhelming majority of men doing OLD are not even worth the most minute consideration. It would be the equivalent of a guy being bombarded with attention from an ocean of Mama Junes.

There's that, but even more significantly for my female friends are the guys with absolutely poor dating etiquette. There seem to be a lot of guys who are just very bad at dating. And some of them are straight up weirdos. One guy who my friend dated came over with painted toe nails, and then proceeded to criticize HER about having a viewpoint about pre-defined gender roles even though she really didn't say anything good or bad about them. This was on a 2nd date. Who the hell does this stuff? Another guy just wanted to sit around and talk about sex with her. He also would bite her profusely and somewhat roughly during make out sessions. Another guy who dated my other friend went off on a political rant and then got upset with her and wanted her to pay him back for the date.
It seems to me that women tend to get bombarded by a bunch of weirdos and old fat guys, whereas men probably get more of the "Mama Junes" as you put it. I can at least say that I've never dated anyone as obnoxious as the men above.
When I was active online dating I got told several times that I just like the attention on the dating site. I never replied to any of them when they say that to me. It's not like my profile is reeking of attention whorish way.
But yeah. It does seem women got more attention online. Which honestly to me was a welcome surprise. I never get any attention offline or in real life.
But hey a got a husband out of it so I'm not complaining.

Young guys can be fat as well.
And weirdos exist of course. But one person's weirdo can be another person's dream.
