Hate to tell you old folks, women rating a rock solid 2's think they are dime 10's these days. Market is terribly inefficient as only 10% of the men are pulling 90% of the women.

This is absolutely the truth and the problem. The root is social media. A 5 can post a picture on Instagram and she'll have 1000 hardlegs hitting on her within minutes. The women will all be telling her she's "fire", "slay", etc....not because they think so, but because that's the affirmation they're expecting when they post their pic.

It leads average women to think they are 9-10s and they start holding out for the guy who looks like Brad Pitt and has an 8 figure net worth.

"If he doesn't have X, Y, and Z, then he can't get with me" means all the guys who are actually very well matched for them are completely shut out of the dating pool.

I've never done the online dating thing, but from casual observation and from what I've been told, the same dynamic seems to have skewed that whole situation as well.

Nobody lives in reality anymore. The facade fuels their narcissism more effectively and makes them feel better in the short term.

Lol. Women have always had unrealistic expectation. It's part of who they are.

That's why it's the guy's job to break the ice. Suprise them, charm them, be the unexpected that makes them question what think they want.

We used to call it "game."

And guys without it never did, and never will get laid. Nothing has changed except the internet now exists for the guys without game to complain to each other about how unfair it is that girls don't throw themselves at them simply for having a pic on a dating app.

I am so glad I am not a male trying to date in todays society.

I feel bad for both young women and young women who would have been breeding and making families that don't even hit the radar.
