To the women of this sub, I have a question. I'm trying to understand what the competitive landscape of other male profiles out there look looks like out there in comparison to me, and primarily, I'm wondering what percentage of the guys who you swipe right on or match with are in relatively fit, athletic, and/or muscular shape.
The main reason I ask is because I am (not to brag) in very fit, muscular shape, have been since college, and haven't missed a beat even though I'm in my 30s now. It's an important hobby of mine. Online dating has always made me scratch my head, though, because despite it being apparent that I stay active (note: It's not the focal point of my profile, although I do mention working out as a hobby,) I rarely draw interest from women who I would prefer to at least share a similar lifestyle perspective despite there being tons of profiles out there of women who do want the same.
I'm not a bad looking guy, and maybe the only drawback is that I'm average height rather than tall. While I do keep an open mind as to who to be open to, I usually end up having a hard time relating to anyone who views doing something physically active for their health as a huge chore. Are the other guys out there just that much more incredibly in good shape, fit and athletic, on the level of Instagram fitness influencers or something to a level I can't compete with?
