1) not true. Many women have expressed that they like unconventionally attractive men. Usually because they’re more understanding of what it’s like to be treated like ur less bc u were born a certain way. 2) it’s YALL that won’t date ugly women. If a woman is not skinny you won’t date her. If she has too much makeup it’s bad but if she doesn’t have any that’s worse. The reason women always look so beautiful in public is because of the societal beauty standards that men put on them.
You got me there. Let me use actual data. In a study conducted in 2016 (Korn Ferry/Hay Group Study) women outperformed men in 11 out of 12 emotional intelligence competencies. Women were 86% more likely to be demonstrating empathy and coaching abilities consistently than the men were.
I can only speak from personal experience, but this just happened two days ago. I was spending part of the holidays with my gf and I was there with two other bfs and like 6 girls, most of whom were single, and they were all just talking about all the standards they have and how men should have to meet them all, and they were all affirming each other. I barely knew these other two bfs, and at the end when they left for something we all were just like… (1/2)
“Holy fuck… these women are crazy. None of these standards are at all realistic. What the fuck are they saying, affirming all that to each other. What they are asking for is just never going to happen.” And these were bfs I barely knew. The oldest woman in that group was 31 and single for reference
I can’t remember exactly. Some of it was the normal stuff, like height, income, but also just like some very very specific stuff like how he has to chase her just a very certain specific way, but not too much, and not too little, and weird personality specifics, and internally I was just thinking, “man, this ain’t ever gonna happen for her” There was a girl there who was 30 and single since college and had gone on 42 first dates in 2025 and no 2nd dates. I remember thinking “you’re the problem”
The worst part for me personally was just that they kept validating and affirming each other. I guess that’s something I can’t relate to. When I say something stupid my REAL girl friends and my guy friends will call me out on that shit. I think affirming stuff that’s clearly wrong or not true just perpetuates the delusion (imo it was delusion, you may not think it was) and makes it worse for everyone.
