If 80% of men are unattractive then why do women date unattractive men?

[Anonymous]

Study after study shows women find about 80% of guys they are shown pictures of "unattractive". But 80% of men aren't single.

It's called "settling in your thirties."

And while 80% of men aren't single, the numbers aren't that far off. 50% actually.
So 30% of the undateable bottom 80% (which accounts for 37.5% of all single straight men) may luck out by getting with some used-up former-thot who just turned 35 and is down to her last five years of eggs. My guess is that the 30% of ugly men who still get girls are at least tall and/or wealthy. The remaining 50% of the Undateables are short/working-class men. Even the ugly old bitter women pushing 40 don't want us! 😂

Dating site stats are not the real world. Some people, guys and girls, are very photogenic but look average in person. Others look blah in photos but a lot better in person. And in person there are things like body language, eye contact, and personality that rarely come through online.

Studies actually show that people (male and females) are usually attracted to people who physically look like either themselves... or their family members. This is likely due to reproductive reasons in wanting to pass on your genes. If you look at couples; you will notice they have the same facial features; or share the facial features of their partner's family member (s).

Yeah, and some studies show that a guy is more likely to get attracted to women with smiliar skull and body proportions to his mother's.

A lot of ugly guys become attractive to women because they have good personalities but personality cannot be predicted by a photo.

So…. Some small, select, group of men still think woman think 80% of men are unattractive.

And then those men further think woman think the men woman are dating are unattractive.

And yet to really nail it to the wall.. these same few guys then question woman why they think these two things, as if any woman does in faxt think this way….

Cute.

Just go back to D&D. 🐍⚔️

There's a line from the move Clerks 2 "What every mother tries to tell thier daughter unsuccessfully and they have to find out the hard way. That typically the hotties don't make very good husbands". After getting repeatedly dicked by one guy after another these women as they age and mature a bit decide to give average to underaverage guys a shot. And that's typically where they find the guy they were looking for.

Love moves in mysterious ways.

You can actually fall in love or be attracted with anyone you have chemistry with.

Probably because your premise is bullshit. The 80/20 crap isn't real. Never has been.

[Berethor]

Women become unattractive too when they hit the wall, also money and loneliness.

[rienna888]

I guess it really depends. Some may date for love, some for money or to take advantage of :)

[FilmGuy93]

Women are just attracted to different things.

[Ehjoh1]

Probably those women only answered "attractive" what they liked the most. But their reasons to date a man could be anything, really.

[Anonymous]

Because looks aren't everything

Entertainment, pleasure and resources factor into relationships

[Rockstarrrrr]

I guess they have to compromise with the available lol

[Anonymous]

They may not think they are attractive but women overlook that if they have a good personality and compatibility

Do you have proof what you wrote in your question is true?

Do you realise not everything you read on the internet is true

[Aerolyn]

Give sources of the studies.

[Nikki1989]

Don't believe in that bullshit.

[Thatdude091699]

What bullshit?

[Aerolyn]

@Thatdude091699 probably that 80% of men are unattractive, because that does sound like bullshit.

[Thatdude091699]

My problem with that study is that it's only going over dating apps which are beneficial to women not men. Irl I'd probably say it's more like 50 percent.
