In the sense that, say if you are a 40 year old guy with a beer gut and you aren't very social or outgoing and you make average income, the chances of you getting with a beautiful 24 year old who is 5"4, and weighs 110, with a great personality, fun and outgoing, makes $75,000+ per year, no baggage, and is a great conversationalist is slim to none.

So if you are honest with how you are and honest with who you can get, will your relationship life be better than then the same guy who is unrealistic and thinks he still can get a hot 24 year old with great personality?

Thoughts?

You should post this question on online dating sites. There are few, if any, people by your description on this forum.

If you were honest with yourself, superficiality doesn't factor in. But if you are a superficial person and you want superficial things, then heck yeah be honest with yourself. Just don't waste other women's time if they are around your age, and expect a lot of rejections from a mid 20 y.o. who has a lot more options.

Would you agree that the guys who are having a hard time finding good relationships is mainly because they aren't honest with themselves?

They want so much yet they don't really have much to offer?

No, because "something to offer" is subjective.

Each problem is individual.

It depends on what you mean by "better". Women and men that do this maintain pretty high standards. Is it better for them to lower their standards in order to have more frequent success? Only they can say for themselves. Some people would rather be alone than settle for something less than their ideal. For those people, their relationship life would NOT be better.

You can't choose who likes you. I think the more honest of a person you can be the better your relationships will be no matter the other person and their income etc.
