Is it true that 90% of women aim for the top 5% of men?

| I have heard this a lot from my adult daughter and her friends. Any truth to this? |

| Yes. Top 5% being 6ft or taller and earning at least six figures. |

| I think more than 10% of women have poor self esteem. They go for bad boys or men they think they can fix. So, I’d say not an entirely accurate statistic. Men are more likely to only want the top women, imo. |

| Is your adult daughter Pearl Davis? Because unless they are an influencer eanring money by pandering to redpill men, women don’t speak like this. |

Yes but it is really the top 1% vs 5%. What salary do you think your SIL should have at 30-34, $120k or $450k? |

Smart women marry well. They are strategic about it. The bad news is that while in the past it was very feasible for a dumb blonde to marry a top 5% man, these days the top 5% men marry top 5% women.
If you're top 10, focus on the top 10, and so forth. People really do pair up with similar mates. Disparities is more myth than reality, life ain't a romance novel. |

I'm a woman. Do other women relate to this? I have never "aimed" for a certain man. I've only ever been interested in spending time with men with whom I feel a genuine and mutual connection. Because of this, I have been happily attracted to men of many walks of life. My attraction to them is based on liking something about the individual and our compatibility, not how much they earn or how tall they are. |

Yes. There is a consensus of scientists
Also, research supports this statistic |

Yes.
Only 15% of men are 6' or taller. There are women who will only date men who are 6'4" or taller, which is only 1% of men. Then break down that by college educated. Then break that down further to college educated and makes over 6 figures. The height restriction alone is pretty stupid, because you instantly remove 99% of males. Good luck trying to date a 6'4" surgeon who is also good looking. You better be a hard harrd 10 yourself. |

I mean I think it’s weird that your teenage daughter is spouting MRA talking points.
Most *humans* aspire to mate with attractive humans. You’ll hear a lot of hand wringing about men over six feet, but not a peep about women below 110lbs. Very few men seeking an average — as in size 14– women on their profiles. |

| The only reason women don't believe this is that the bottom 80% of men are literally invisible to them. |

No, most women don't do this, unless their family members have trained them to do so. Definitely a minority, probably more as you go up the income scale.
I have never even heard of this until I moved to the more expensive DC metro. Much like guys, women go for the best looking and unlike guys, money makes some men look better. Doesn't seem to work that way for women with money. |
