Similar here. Nowhere near the top in attractiveness; had pretty good experiences on match; ended up meeting my wife playing beer league level softball, but match absolutely “worked”.

In spending time with female friends who were doing online dating, it became fairly clear to me how easy it was to be in the top 10% of articulate and interesting in correspondence.



How do you know you're not near the top in attractiveness? Maybe you actually are since your experience tends to be good/positive.

So much this.

Or, as a friend of mine once quipped (about a different thing): it's not that we're so great, it's that the bar is so low.
