Your looks and your inbox.

This is very...interesting. I always was under the assumption the 80/20 rule was anecdotal in nature even if it did make sense, that it could never be determined statistically/numerically. Well here's some actual hard data. According to this, women for the most part are repulsed by the average joe and believe an above average or decent looking man to be unattractive/undesirable. The main rub is that it isn't just attractive women who have these standards, but plain and clearly ugly women on that site also have similar standards despite their relative attractiveness.

Not that there is anything wrong with this, of course, but it would help if women were a lot more honest about it like they were in this survey when given anonymity. It's not about things like "personality" or "confidence", it really is all about looks. Take height, for example. There are countless women out there (more than the majority) who require a potential significant other to be at least 6 ft tall. What they don't realize is that only 13% of men are 6 ft and taller. Hence, it should come as no surprise why so many men fail in the dating world and end up as 40 year old virgins. Most women are simply repulsed by them.

Default Oh, look, another whiny thread!

Oh, those fussy women, daring to be attracted to attractive men and not finding beer guts, ball caps, and jeans and t-shirts--the classic American outfit--to be attractive. Let's be honest here: I did online dating, and well over half of the men I saw on there fit that description.

If you guys want to get women to look at your profile, have a woman dress you and take your photo for it. Because honestly? A lot of you just don't know how to present yourselves. We gals do, because it has been hammered into our heads from Day One.

Sadly for some it's true. My dad wore a suit to work everyday and my mom picked out his outfits. Lol
If they were fighting he looked like hell. Haha.

The same could be said for the women on there. Most of them aren't stunners, have unremarkable facial features, often overweight, and yet men were completely realistic and rated the average woman a 5 out of 10. Women, on the other hand, rated the average man to be well below that.

Men are often hounded for being shallow dogs, yet study after study shows they are a lot more objective and realistic about women's looks than vice-versa.

Nah, women that are realistic know what they can achieve same for men.

Ok well when we have strip clubs designed for women where all the dancers are male, porn when the woman is the one who receives the oral, and equal pay, I think I'll save my sympathy for the poor widdle men who STILL cant get laid.
