Women say that 80% of you men are below average. 80%.

As you can see from the gray line, women rate an incredible 80% of guys as worse-looking than medium. Very harsh. On the other hand, when it comes to actual messaging, women shift their expectations only just slightly ahead of the curve, which is a healthier pattern than guys’ pursuing the all-but-unattainable. But with the basic ratings so out-of-whack, the two curves together suggest some strange possibilities for the female thought process, the most salient of which is that the average-looking woman has convinced herself that the vast majority of males aren’t good enough for her, but she then goes right out and messages them anyway.

Women say that 80% of men are below average as far as looks go.

That means 4 out of 5 of every last one of you dudes don't make the cut.

Let that madness roll around inside your head. 80% are below average.

Fuck it any more, I'm praying for the aliens to blow this planet up. Humanity is a failed experiment. Where's that fucking asteroid, dammit. We failed, it's time to wipe it all clean and start all over.

Good thing women fuck men they find unattractive looking. We know this because there are not 80% of guys doing without.


...are there?

Women looking at men find most to be ugly, but a woman looking at the man she has rationalized to herself as a worthy mate for any number of reasons will find that guy to be good looking. She will find some adjective to suit. Rugged or some-such. She will say, he isn't conventionally handsome....

See Julie Roberts and the hideously deformed Lyle Lovitt.

Wouldn't 50% be below average?

Beat me to it.

I'm happy to be about average.

THAT'S THE WHOLE POINT I WAS MAKING!!!

Women see 80% of men as below average. When that number should be 50%.

That's how crazy works, and OkCupid exposed it.

80% of men have to wait in line behind the other 20% whom these women go after first.

It's the other way around, actually.
Because, when it comes to such matters, women don't think with their little one, like men do - they think with their hearts and heads

How can you be thinking with your head if you judge 80% of men to be below average when statistics clearly says only 50% of men should be below average?

Its all bull shit. Females conform to the standards tho theyre influenced by physical and social anomalies.

Steak or McDonalds? Steak, of course, but McDonalds is what you can afford.

Many years ago I wrote a blurb regarding how dating had become like combat. In my missive I wrote the following:

This change of roles has produced unexpected side-effects, the worst of which is, as already mentioned, that dating is now a war. Another side-effect is that both women and men who fall into the meaty middle of the population, not too tall/short/fat/thin/ugly are finding it more and more frustrating to meet someone because the rest of the group has instilled the idea that only the best will do and if you're not part of the best, you're not worth the effort.

. . .

Dating is a war because people want it that way. Women don't want the 'nice guy', the ones who can cook, like animals, have a great sense of humor and are stable. Sure, they say they want someone like that but when presented with such a person, women invariably turn up their noses and move on. No, they want the guy who looks like a million but is as vapid as the steam rising from their Starbucks latte. The ones who act like they're on top of the world but in reality are one step away from complete disaster because they lack common sense.

. . .

Like so many other things in our lives, we have reduced dating to the bare essentials while simultaneously increasing the complexity. We want the perfect mate and don't want to settle for less even though we ourselves are not perfect. We want the fairy-tale dream of having a happy life but are unwilling to take the chances necessary to live that life. We want to be with someone that compliments us but we refuse to consider anyone who doesn't meet our narrowly-defined ideals.

Why? Because people want it that way.

Did you even read the link you posted? The 80% number represents the men on an online dating site, not 80% of the male population as a whole.

 

[JAMESBJOHNSON]

Mother Nature hates deviants and eliminates them from the gene pool. So discriminating females fade away, as do discriminating males. Look around if you don't believe me, the world is filled with plain-janes. Females perpetuate the males they prefer, males perpetuate the females they prefer. Midgets, Superman, and Miss America aren't what we want.

How can anyone believe the bs that is on the internet? especially when it comes to things like polls? They are skewed. Anyone can get a poll to represent what they want to say by asking a certain demographic a question in a certain way.

This stat doesn't make any sense at all. Do they understand what average means, it means on a scale from the worst to the best, average is the mean, or half way mark if you will, so no matter how many men are ugly or handsome, average has to be 50 percent up the scale, so 49 .9 percent have to be below average, and the same number above average, it is simple arithmetic, not even math. If they had said that 80 percent were less than good looking, thats different, but of course that is then also subjective.

You didn't read the OP's link either, did you?

The point of this thread is to remind us, when Lt can't get a date, it's not his fault.

The problem is, women are defective.

 

[oggbashan]

The statistical graphs shown in the link are useless since they do not show all the data, nor the sample size, nor the methodology.

Even if they did, how scientific is 'attractiveness'. Can you quantify it in a meaningful manner?

Attractive to whom? Measured by what criteria?

If these graphs were to be offered to an academic institution, the person offering them should get an F.

 

[about_average]

This thread is worthy of Miles and Vette.

It's entirely possible for 100% of men on a dating site to be rated as below average in looks. Or 100% considered above average.

I don't know what that's so hard to understand.
