This thread is brutal.

Especially more citing of that stupid 80/20 rule, a bunch of guys who don’t know what they’re talking about.

Not going to touch this one. So much disinformation, I really don’t have time to dissect.

I’m glad you can speak for what all men want despite not being one. Thanks for the insight! That’s like me saying the average woman isn’t interested in any men below 6 feet tall and is hoping for their 6’3 prince. It is just baseless and has no merit.

She has a point, though; on this forum, a LOT of guys complaining about not being able to get dates protest loudly as soon as someone suggests they go for average women.

Going back to the OP's (flawed) analogy.

Though, I say go for whatever job or person you want. Let them turn you down, don't turn yourself down. Don't be so arrogant as to assume you know what another person wants.

As soon as women start acting like men, men will get all the 'unfair advantages' women have OLD.
Pretty much. If men stopped sending messages to every single woman on the dating website then she wouldn't have 50 messages in an hour. It's not an advantage it's an annoyance because you know most didn't read your profile and the message usually says something like "hey".

All the "average girl" has to do is not be fat.
Well maybe men should up their standards a bit.

And this is bs btw, there are so many women that give men chances that are nothing what you described.

There are statistical studies that show that 60%+ women get to pro-create during their lifetime, despite a smaller fertility window than men. Only 40% of men however, get to pass on their genes. Traditional marriage was supposed fix this issue, by pairing a single man with a single woman, allowing for things to balance themselves out naturally but only if the marriage was a lifelong proposition. Today that is no longer the case, as people dont get married as much and the marriages dont really last, statistically anyway. WOmen want only top men, and ignore the rest.
Yup, only the deluded deny these facts. It is a good time to be a cat though, though when you die alone they will feed on the corpses

Maybe not you, but a sht-ton of dudes here make this assertion. They're ALL about it. Not just "some women go after..." but "women like..." as if we're a monolith. Which is why it's important to qualify such statements. I've dated plenty of average, regular guys who are not like the bitter and angsty types here and elsewhere.
