Who has it harder, an average, mediocre woman or a poor, unattractive man?

[Anonymous]

Who has it so hard in the dating and relationship world:

- Sarah is just average (isn't that pretty, not even with make-up and she knows that) in looks and there is nothing she can do about it. She gets hit on by either average, broke, poor, or unattractive guys below her in looks or status. She's going to have to settle or continue being single.

- Michael is average or mediocre in looks and is poor. He will never be wealthy, has no exceptional skill compensating it and has no luck at all. He isn't getting hit on by anyone. His only single relationship lasted a couple months several years ago and he's been single since.

Average, mediocre in looks woman

Broke and poor, unattractive man

The both have it equally hard

A poor unattractive man has it much worse than average woman.

Man no question and it's do to the percentages of attraction. And the parameters set by your question.

First of you said "mediocre looking" woman, not ugly woman. Guys find 50% of women attractive whereas women find 10% of men attractive. This is why guys either rate women 5 to 10 on a scale and never grade a woman any other number unless it's done derogatorily.

So you see an avg woman has 50% of guy to pick from generally. It's her pickiness that shrinks it but that's her doing. Men on the other hand will never be attractive to more than 10% regardless of what he does. This is why SMART guys really don't worry about whether a woman finds him attractive or not. A smart guy knows her mind was already made up from the moment he said "hi" 😆😆😆

The average woman will still have pursuers, especially if she smiles a lot.

A poor, ugly dude might have to resort to professionals.
