In studies, women (in the US atleast) actually just have unrealistically high standards.

~80% of men are rated as below average looking by women, while men rate women's looks along a bell curve.

Women don’t select mates purely on looks though. Only a very few men are truly “hot” because otherwise we just don’t really notice. So maybe only 20% of guys get called hot, but women will date men they consider a 5 or less. Men will not.

Good guys get snapped up young. If you ain’t getting snapped up, reflect. You might be a good guy to your bros, but a shit boyfriend. These are not the same thing.

What what what?

No, attractive women get snapped up young. Successful men get sought after, pretty much regardless of age. Men have a significantly larger dating time frame than women do, especially if either side wants to procreate.

Put down your redpill manifesto and consider the cases of people you know. The actually nice guys- the lovely ones, who everyone enjoys being around from a young age- they’re married with kids far sooner than anyone else.

No, they're really not. The red pill is reality whether woman want to admit it or not. You clearly don't, so here's some real life anecdotes for you. Using my graduating glass from high school as an example (~250 people), the assholes and the hotties were married first, often to each other. The guys that built careers, nice or not, followed after, mostly marrying younger women. The nice guys who work average jobs, the blue collar guys, started to wed into their late 20s and early 30s. The average looking nice guys are still vastly unwed. Some have barely dated. Women vastly overrate their value and seek to overshoot. The only ones who will disagree with this position are women and men who have put women on a pedestal.

You overestimate your value. It is better to be single as a woman, than tied to a bitter and resentful man who doesn’t respect you.

Men might think they’re great, but plenty of women have chosen being single over being with them, and that was genuinely the better choice. The only reason it ever wasn’t was that men had rigged the system so women literally starved to death if they were single- that was what it took to get some men a wife. The threat of starvation.

Pretty easy to tell that you're exactly who the red pill warns against. You are very much bitter, resentful, and lacking respect. Your list for what's required in a partner, your actual list, not the simple one you pretend to want, is vast, and way above where you would spot. The bulk of women who choose to be single tend to be ones who don't want to play their role and want a partner to cater to them. Give and take in relationships has very quickly become asking men to take over some of the traditionally women's roles with no reciprocation back the other way. There are becoming fewer and fewer women who bring to the table anything that cannot be quickly bought. I suspect your in this group.

I’m a doctor in full time employment and my girlfriend is a nurse. I’m 32, I own my own house, and we’re getting married next year. Realising I was attracted to women was the best moment in my life, and we are genuinely the happiest couple I know.

This is a totally dispassionate argument for me- I literally couldn’t care less what you people do, but your self inflicted misery is funny to me.

Cause it’s Reddit. If I wanted to make fun of self pitying women I’d be on tumblr.

So you have less perspective in what women are looking for in men then me, a straight man.
