I notice they don't try to make out that "all men are beautiful". Funny how it only works one way.
As I said before earlier here, 80% of men are ugly in women's views, according to Okcupid stats.
That's pretty far from 'all'.
It's us, the men are more varied in what we find attractive.
For instance, I personally know far more men who like overweight women than the other way!
Yet, it's us the men, who got the most bashing and accusations for being
superficial lol.
I bet the 80% is accurate. I thought I was hot stuff to get so many dates off OkCupid, until a female friend of mine started showing me a sampling of male profiles; then, I realized, I might actually be below average and should have done much much better. The men on OkCupid really are ugly and creepy -- 70-80% is about right while a lot of the women are quite attractive, both by my standards and by society's standards.
It could be that dating sites such as OkCupid, on average, attract more low-quality men relative to the quality of the women they attract. Maybe there's more of a stigma in the NT male culture against using dates sites, so only the desperate ones sign up? Anyway, I told me female friend that her standards were probably way too high (she's not ugly by any means, actually pretty attractive, and I've known her for a bit in real life) when she complained about lack of success on OKC, until she started showing me the profiles of some of the men; then, I completely changed my mind and had to agree with her.
Here's the conversation:

sorry
do you message guys you are interested in?
you can't just expect men to do it all. Seriously
that's why there are so many women who are single and alone for no apparent reason

Girl

9:29pm
Tyrion
society's gender roles are in transition now, and too many women expect equality but then also expect men to be "gentlemen" - a concept that originated when women were property -- got to take a more active role!!
wow, I don't know what to tell you then.
maybe try the ones who have a high match %
