Dating Trends: Who Should Send the First Text?

Women are less likely to make the first move but those who do are more likely to go on a date with a more attractive guy, according to this research.

The dating app, OKCupid, found that women are less likely to make the first move. That trend is shared among all age groups.  Women send an average of 3 to four first messages. Men on the other hand, send 9 to 15.   The report also found that women who message first are more likely to go on a date with a more attractive guy.  Apps like Bumble require women to initiate the conversation after a match.
