80/20 rule exists in countless instances. It is known as Pareto principle and while Pareto himself applied in a business sense, there are thousands of examples of this rule being true from business, to statistics to personal life and even dating. Its really quite amazing how often it can be observed in everyday life. Hope this helps.
Then you should have no trouble posting those examples. Oh that's right. If you had any, you would've posted them by now. It's really quite amazing how often people on this site make claims that they can't support with any actual data.
Here's the "genius" behind the 80/20 rule. If a guy believes it's true but is still successful in dating, he can tell himself that he's better than 80% of men. If he doesn't succeed in dating, he can tell himself that there's nothing wrong with him. Women are just too picky.
I'm a 40something male. I've lived in different cities in different parts of the country. Among my male relatives, friends, colleagues, etc., I have NEVER heard of this 80/20 rule. As someone else already stated, the rule exists only in the manosphere, a safe space where frustrated, angry men with low-self esteem get together and engage in group female-bashing in order to feel good about themselves. And no matter how frustrated I've gotten with dating, no matter how many times I've been rejected by women, I've never bought into this nonsense about 80% of women being only interested in 20% of men. I have two words for anyone who subscribes to this rule. Grow up.
Isn't it odd that the guys who believe in this "rule" never think about it applying to themselves; that 80% of the guys (themselves included) tend to go after the 20% of women (let's be generous and say: 30%) who are most attractive? Why do they only see it as a one-sided thing, instead of a general human thing?

They'll deny it. In their minds, men aren't nearly as picky as women. What it reveals on their part is a general contempt for the female gender.
Being nice for a guy is absolutely the worst repellant that will exist, when it comes to attracting women. A homeless junkie would have better chances with women, than any nice guy. Look at women marrying convicted felons, often for violent crimes or murder, while they still are serving time behind bars. Its not as if that's an exception, it happens countless time in every prison.
The only women marrying violent criminals are 8000 on the crazy scale. They are a miniscule portion of women and any non-crazy woman who knows them warns them or gives them the name of a good shrink. Also there is an ever increasing number of women with criminal records, addictions and emotional problems. Plenty of these normal looking women you see with creeps may be creeps themselves. Probably carrying diseases as well as being crazy and mean. Do not forget, women's appearances and demeanor can be deceptive, VERY deceptive, much more so then men's tend to be.
If I were a guy I think I would rather be with an older or heavier woman who is stable and kind, than worry about what attractive crazy and criminal people do. Like that Hot Felon and the heiress. Who cares.

Way too sensible! Too many of them protest that you can't expect them to get involved with a women who doesn't turn them on physically, as the initial motivator. Why, that's just crazy talk, tamajane!
Well it's not like pretty = crazy and plain = stable and nurturing

And this is where you've definitely misinterpreted the ''Nice guy'' thing, or you've taken it way too seriously.
I generally agree with the ''Nice guys finish last'' theory, but you seem to have taken it too literally here.

The 80/20 rule doesn't apply to men because it takes into account wealth and looks both.
Most men don't care about a woman's wealth so it would change the results of the charting.
The 80/20 rule is looking at it from the standpoint that women prefer to get into relationships with fairly well off men.
I don't really care personally I'm merely pointing out the differences in the charting and how statistics would effect it.
