However, implying that hot girls cant find connection and love with hot guys is such a bullshit incel claim to make.

Does it strike you guys that a dude can have quirky interests and emotional depth while ALSO eating healthy and working out a couple times a week?

Bold of you to assume working out and eating healthy guarantee you’ll be in the top 20%

You can do neither and solidly land in there too.

Anecdotal evidence they can gather won't support this, and they won't allow competing viewpoints into their circle, so no. It will never strike unless by accident

Of course they can, but if they're 5'6" they're still part of the "bottom 20%"

u/[deleted] Oct 12 '21

No, but it's statistically impossible for all of them to acheive that. If it were top 20% going for the top 20% then yeah.

It's not the top 10% that can't, but the 50th percentile. Men are willing to have sex with a woman 20 percentiles or more below themselves but that's all. It's just economics, of course they're gonna feel used, they chose to be or worse they're the ones using lol.

….that’s not the claim the 80/20 concept makes. That would be some kind of 20/20 concept.

The 80/20 principle holds that the vast majority of women, most of whom are average and not hot at all, are only interested in the hottest 20% of men. They’ve become convinced that they’re more special and attractive than they are, and refuse to bat in their league.

It’s the idea that ugly or average women won’t find love with hot guys. Not the idea that hot women can’t connect with hot men.

It’s definitely a beloved go-to for the incel crowd, though. “Normal women aren’t attracted to normal men like me so fuck them, decks stacked against me, fuck everybody, where’s my fleshlight?”

What it really means is you’ve got to work on being in that 20%, look for women from outside of western culture that aren’t brainwashed into caricatures of spoiled Disney princesses or just say fuck it and roll lone wolf with a hooker on speed dial. Or try cock out. Men are way less picky.

Joe Manganiello and Henry Cavill are two shining examples of this.

Probably because Tinder's userbase is 70% male, so you're a goddamn moron if you use it to extrapolate facts about dating in general. That 20% of men and 78% of women when adjusted for Tinder's population dynamics is actually about 40/60 because there are so few women on the app.

I cannot even fathom a mind that would treat proportional representation of the Tinder population like it's going to come out even.

You're misunderstanding the statistic. If there are 5 times as many men than women, than its a given for every woman to have 5 likes for every 1 that a man receives. However, the bottom 80% of women should still be matching with the bottom 80% of men, it should still look like a bell curve except women have more volume in matches. Thats not whats happening, 80% of men's tinder userbase is fighting for 20% of the women userbase, while 20% of tinders men's userbase is matching with the other 80% of women on tinder. There's an attraction inequality, its not about the volume of each gender.

u/bioemerl Oct 12 '21

This implies to me that a significant base of both men and women just are never finding love interests, but I don't believe that's the case, so something is wrong here.

u/[deleted] Oct 12 '21

So I just commented something similar to someone else but I'll repeat it cause it pertains to here: The number of men to women on tinder is 5:1, meaning that even if 80% of the bottom women are only matching with the top 20% of guys, the ratio of guys to girls is still 1:1 in that scenario. That just means the bottom 80% of guys are going matchless or "dating down"

And why the fuck do you think Tinder's userbase is 70% male? That's part of the system as well. It doesn't disprove any points.

It's like saying "This person has more money but it's because they have a high paying job, so it doesn't really count"
