Men tend to actually use pretty close to a standard normal distribution based around the actual midpoint, and actually use the entire scoring range.
Women tend to not do this, at all, and instead have a heavily biased or skewed way of using the scoring range.
(Where I mean bias and skew in their statistical definitions, primarily.)
Women only rate 19% of men as being average or better. Women also very often say they consider and talk to and date men who they view as not in their league.
And thats not like, a spurrious result from only one early dating app. There are many studies and published analyses that consistently show that women tend to be very picky or choosy or harsh or however you want to say it, tend to rate very few men as very attractive, compared to how men rate women as very attractive.
So, to apply this kind of data to your hypothetical on the 1-10 scale, doing a rough conversion for the 1-7 scale here:
Basically, if you are a man rating women, well you can see that 21% of women are rated 6/7 or 7/7…
… but if you are a woman rating men, the amount of men rated 6/7 or 7/7 is 2%.
That is to say, men find roughly 2 out of 10 women to score 7 or higher, whereas women find roughly 0 out of 10 men to score a 7 or higher, on a 1-10 scale.
This kind of data is also a literal foundational reason why all modern dating apps work the way they do.
This is going way, waaay back… but basically…
