But if women act this way won't many of them be relationship-less until they are 40 and finally cave maybe? Plus they say men are more about looks than women but this does not seem to be the case if most women only go for 8+?

Well in general I think we're talking about some sort of hook up culture experienced on a dating app. When considering one-to-one pairings of people for long term relationships, you still have roughly one man for every woman. If a large percentage of women decide they want to conduct their romantic lives on dating apps and not give a toss how many other women their lovers have been with, then it presents a real problem. But I really think the number of women living that way would be quite small, although I don't know where to find actual numbers.

Oh okay. So more women are into polygamist relationships compared to men nowadays then pretty much and that's why there is an imbalance?

This is not about polygamy per se just hook up culture (to whatever extent it exists in the real world) and apps such as Tinder.

Since those on the spectrum tend to value loyalty, many don't go for the hook-up culture. I very much preferred going for something long term. Hook-ups never appealed to me.

loyalty went out with button shoes, loyal people likewise. nobody but us types values loyalty, the rest of our evil culture sees loyalty the way a psychopath sees weakness in general, as just another weakness to exploit.

the increasing hedonism of the end times, "gettin' while the gettin's good" sorta deal. everybody wants to get as much pleasure and avoid as much responsibility as possible.

Oh okay. So the reason why a lot of guys do not have women now, is because guys are more interested in dating and monogamy possibly, where as a lot of women just want to bang the top guys in a casual way pretty much?

a lot of guys don't have women now because in these modern times, the women have discovered they don't have to settle for any less than the best. "it's MY turn now!" as they like to say. alpha males have not changed, they will always be able to enthusiastically spread their seed everywhere. but nowadays they are busier than ever, what with 60% initial divorce rates [& 90% subsequent marriage divorce rates here in 'merica] plus record rates of folks doing away with marriage altogether and just playin' the field. folks [men on the spectrum] like a lot of us here on these forums stood a somewhat better chance a few generations back when there was less pickiness for want of a better word.

But why would women prefer to have casual non-commited relationships with the top 10-20 percent of guys, if that means they will never be in a committed relationship if they boycott the idea?

they'd rather have a periodic taste of a gourmet meal then have a whole meal of [what they see as mere] mush.

Oh tell me about it. I had really ugly girls as early as back in the 1990s pretend they are too good for me. It was quite a revelation. They basically settle for the lowest common denominator based on distance from the top alpha male.

i agree that women are pickier than men but have you considered that the fact that you thought of her as "a solid 4" had anything to do with your rejection?

But what I don't understand is, I thought most women want to commitment, and family, kids, etc. Do most women really just want some temporary d^ck here and there, and that's it, and they do not desire any more than that, as long as they get d^ck every now and then?

And people say that guys are more about looks and sex than women are, but are they if women only want that, from the top percent guys?

we are speaking of the high-ranking females for whom "having it all" or going it alone are the options- commitment and family only if they [alpha females] can pair up with that high-ranking male. absent that male, they will go it alone. only lower-ranking people settle.

Oh okay, but do autistic guys have a chance with those lower ranking women who settle?
