Beautiful girl dating ugly guy. Site For Ugly Men, totally free biker sites, only dating and there are certain features that would make a guy attractive. “Stunning russian girls date ugly guys only for money.” Well, not really. While it’s nothing extraordinary to see beautiful a russian woman dating a not very attractive guy only for money, there are also numerous other reasons why gorgeous Russian women prefer less attractive men over handsome, Zac Efron-type of guys.

Many women use dating apps like Tinder or Bumble to confirm their attractiveness rather than find a partner.

Research into our swiping habits found that men use dating apps with an eye for casual sex while girls prefer to use them for an ego boost.

This is because women get a kick out of being perceived as a potential partner by other users, scientists said.

'Women use dating apps to feel better about themselves more than men do,' said study coauthor Dr Mons Bendixen, from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology in Trondheim.

Lead author Ernst Olav Botnen added: 'Men tend to report a desire for casual sex and short-term relationships as a reason for using dating apps.

'But it should be noted that the myth that men on dating apps are only looking for casual sex isn't accurate.

'Men who use these apps also seek long-term partners, but to a lesser extent than short-term partners.'

Researchers analysed the swiping habits of 641 Norwegian university students aged between 19 and 29.

Both sexes spent about an equal time on dating apps.

The popular app Tinder allows users to swipe their screen right when they see a person they like, and swipe left to reject them.

Men were significantly more likely than women to meet up with persons contacted through dating apps, more likely to 'swipe right' and far more likely to meet women in private settings, and far more likely to make contact with matches.

They were also more likely to respond to conversations.

The researchers said in sum men seem to be engaged more in 'hooking up activities'.

Women, by contrast said their main motivation in going online was self-affirmation, in other words to feel good, rather than seeking a committed relationship or sex, the authors said.

The authors said that for both women and men, the most important reason for using Tinder and similar apps was as a diversion - when they were bored, they would take a look at Tinder to see who was there. But then the sexes differed in their reasons.

The research was published in the online journal Personality and Individual Differences.

HOW DID ONLINE DATING BECOME SO POPULAR?

The first ever incarnation of a dating app can be traced back to 1995 when Match.com was first launched.

The website allowed single people to upload a profile, a picture and chat to people online.

The app was intended to allow people looking for long-term relationships to meet.

eHarmony was developed in 2000 and two years later Ashley Madison, a site dedicated to infidelity and cheating, was first launched.

A plethora of other dating sites with a unique target demographic were set up in the next 10-15 years including: OKCupid (2004), Plenty of Fish (2006), Grindr (2009) and Happn (2013).

In 2012, Tinder was launched and was the first 'swipe' based dating platform.

After its initial launch it's usage snowballed and by March 2014 there were one billion matches a day, worldwide.

In 2014, co-founder of Tinder, Whitney Wolfe Herd launched Bumble, a dating app that empowered women by only allowing females to send the first message.

The popularity of mobile dating apps such as Tinder, Badoo and more recently Bumble is attributable to a growing amount of younger users with a busy schedule.

In the 1990s, there was a stigma attached to online dating as it was considered a last-ditch and desperate attempt to find love.

This belief has dissipated and now around one third of marriages are between couples who met online.

A survey from 2014 found that 84 per cent of dating app users were using online dating services to look for a romantic relationship.
