u This is nonsense, When we deal with normal population statistics, average is "in the middle." 50% of people will be below average and 50% will be above average; that is simply the definition of average.
"Statistics" like this (besides being ludicrous) are absolutely irrelevant. Here are the statistics you need to understand:
1. There are some hot looking people and there are some who are north-end-of-a-southbound-mule ugly.
2. Almost all of these people eventually find a mate with whom they settle down.
3. These statistics are spouted by people who want an excuse to vent their anger at the opposite sex. Obviously, angry people have much more difficulty finding someone who wants to spend time with them, so, for the angry people, this becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.
4. Finally, it doesn't matter whether 99% of the women think I am ugly or stupid, because I am never going to date 99% of the women. I have one girlfriend who thinks I'm better than biscuits and honey and that's all I need.
Because women bare more of a burden when it comes to reproduction and only have a limited number of times they can reproduce while a man could theoretically impregnate 100's of women in a single year.
So it makes sense that they would be more selective.
Also that 80% below average mainly applies to casual sex where physical attributes are the primary thing being considered. Women can easily have hookups with men who are more physically attractive than they are, but those men rarely end up commiting to them. So for commited relationships/marriage where they want a guy to investhis time and resources they will overlook the fact he isn't in the top 20% in terms of physical attractiveness.
People are genetically picking, woman more so than men historically due to the pre evolutionary theory of breading and finding a mate...
You can put as many spins on it as you like and yes we are more advanced as there as more factors to play with, but the idea is basically the same...
Woman will pick a mate whether to date or sleep with that fits into their subconscious category as perfect, so your 80% being unattractive is probably true, but each woman is different so it's going to be a different 20% in the good category each time...
Basically, any men complaining about not being in a girls 20%, then move on as you are probably in someone's...
I think that stat is way overstated. Yeah, yeah there's a dumb survey but it wasn't scientific by any means.
1. I've read several times that many of the guys in the sample were above the age group preferred in the gals in the sample
2. From experience, many guys tend to take poor photos for dating sites, which impacts how they are viewed. I met a guy who said he changed up his pics with some help from a female friend and was getting two dates a week despite being a short chubby self professed "coplay nerd."
That guy above would do fine with women, provided his social skills were ok.
The guy is not average... he just doesn't need to smile nor take a selfie...
I guess women now want men to look like models or actors in TV like men want women to like that. Fake attracts fake... cycle.
It's true we value more than just looks when looking for a mate but Where do you get this made up percentage?

I find about 96% of women "below average in looks", this is just how people select genetically more compatible mates. This is how nature works.
You're retarded and so is the person whos giving you these statistics. If this was true it's an 80% chance ur existence is based on the chance that your mom had sex with ur dad and still thinks he not attractive till this day.
That's not true, goddammit.
And if it were true, who the fuck cares, they're the ones who will lose, the ones who will suffer, not you.
That is clearly not an average male. He isn't even above average, but very above.
If the guy in the photo was the real average male, women would want to have as much or more sex as men.
Well, truthfuly, most are. Most do not take care of themselves. I mean look around you. How many attractive people do you see? Male or female?
where did u find that? 80% of men are below average in looks?
Hypergamy. 80% of all average to above average women in their prime years 15-30are fucked by5% of men the alpha males when they are in their prime
i think it has to do with lifestyle and artistic sense
I don't know about that. Where'd you hear about that?
This man in the picture isn't average though... he is above average in my opinion...
That "study" you're referring to makes sense with clarification - 80% of the guys ON DATING WEBSITES are below average.
He looks like my French teacher
cause personality plays a role
because of having high standarts
I'd do him
