The normal distribution of men's ratings of the attractiveness of women with essentially equivalent deviations from the mean in both directions reflects men's hormonally driven bias that rates objectively unattractive women as highly as attractive women - a mathematic artifact that is incongruent with reality.
There are far more unattractive than attractive women in the population based on weight if nothing else. Attractiveness is a matter of genetics and self-care, and at least genetics has little plasticity.
The left-skewed distribution of women's ratings of the attractiveness of men with essentially non-equivalent deviation from the mean in the left direction reflects women's biases that rate statistically rare characteristics such as great wealth and great height as inordinately important in determining attraction.
There are far fewer men of great wealth and height than the inverse in the population. Wealth is a matter of luck, inheritance, and propensity for criminal behavior for the most part. Height is a matter of genetics and childhood nutrition and has little plasticity.
definitely agree.
the standards women have for men are a lot higher than the standards men have for women. a lot of women would fail to meet the same standards that they put on men. vast majority of them ain't 6 feet tall, have 6 pack abs or earn 6 figures
No. I have said the same thing on the other post, but I’d say it again. It is easier for us women to get a date, but it is harder to find a guy who is willing to commit. The issue with men thinking we have it easier is because you all count friends with benefits/hook up/casual sex as dating. How in the world are we supposed to be happy when 100 guys want to fuck us? Someone on the other post said there are women who enjoy being promiscuous too so what’s the point of comparing this. Let me tell you. The vast majority of women that I know prefer to be in a stable relationship, but many of them couldn’t find a guy who wants to stay. They either ghost and come back after a while, or left once they have gotten what they want.
It doesn’t exactly reflect the real world though does it? Firstly, attractiveness is subjective, and secondly I’ve seen plenty of average people paired up, as well as average guys dating attractive girls. Men are more into short term relationships so actually it’s easier for them since women are more geared towards long term relationships.

It doesn’t mean women have high standards, maybe they both have the same standards but the man is more likely to eat potato chips. My cousin usually dates girls who look 2-4 points higher than him on the attractiveness scale and my second cousin married a fat and old guy when she was slim and gorgeous.
Fating is plain hard for all people.
Wouldn't consider this the foremost reason it is however a true enough reason. It is also easily verifiable research that has been reproduced a lot of times. There is this rather strange phenomena that without being famous and/or previously known by the person rating them, guys pretty much never reach that 10/10.
But if you want what I think the actual reason is: There's just a lot more guys than girls in the dating range ages. Always has been. If we find the very rare communities on earth where women outnumber men dating there is, reportedly, very easy for men.
I don't think dating websites are reflective of real life. I mean, look at some of the walking disaster Shrektards that many women choose in real life.
Men need to stop simping, respect themselves, and get to work in real life. So one is less existentially reliant and pining over these bitches.
Women can afford to be much choosier than men. Most men don’t have the willpower to reject women in such high numbers that women need to change to fit what the dating market demands. That’s why shit like Onlyfans exist, because women can reduce their value but still be valued.
Nothing I can do about being average looking, so I just spread a wider net than most guys. For example, most guys will ask a girl or two, then give up for the night. I'll ask a girl, then her friends at the same table, then all the women at the next table, and so on until one says "Yes."
I mean women go off personality most. So physical looks are simply the foot in the door. Are you good looking enough she doesn't run away and maybe she even smiles at you, maybe she even could have sex with you without puking? 🤮
Once you pass that level it's all personality. I've seen many girls pass on very hot men because they have disgusting simp weirdo loser personalities.
As a younger guy, it was not really tough, but as you get older, yes, but even then it depends a lot on how a guy "maintains" himself, his financial status and things like that. Of course, younger, is easier.
I agree that it's true. But the reasoning is definitely incorrect.
I have no idea. Out of the people I know IRL that I see often, I am the only single person left. A good portion of men I was friends with and became acquaintances of are in relationships or had them. I feel like the odd man out.
we need a willing partner but we are always willing
Younger I would’ve said it’s harder for a man, older I’d say it’s harder for a woman.
Stop basing your opinions on nonsense you read online, and you might get somewhere.
Damn I must be below average then 😂
It's true for sure
