"The men didn’t care whether the women were good storytellers, the research showed."

Men generally have lower standards.

A while ago, I ran two Tinder bots connected to CleverBot; one with a female account and the other with a male account (Both with attractive pictures). Female matches did not tolerate the male bot talking gibberish, while male matches went out of their way to try and make sense of what the female bot was saying.

Hilarious as it was, I had to cut it because it was immoral.

How did you account for a woman having many more times the matches of a man? Wouldn't this influence whether they would be willing to "spend" time on the match?

I thought about that and the only thing I could do to address it was by making the male account really attractive. Couldn't think of a better solution.

You should write a blog post about that.

I've automated dating chats too and able to confirm that guys are less picky, though they're also more likely to move on too. Girls are more picky, but if the bot tricks them into believing they're real, they'll stick around longer.

But you were really doing science!

Take inspiration from Dr Herbert West.
