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

[Anonymous]

I did a google search: 14.5% of men in the US is at least six feet tall; 7% of men in the US are considered attractive; 2.3% of men make 300K+ per year; less than 0.5% of men are former college athletes; less than 1% of men can play an attractive music instrument. Add all up, you're talking about 0.05% of men.

In summary, over 95% of women on dating sites are going after 0.05% of the men dating pool.

No, I don't think this is true. At least, I don't think women agree on what the top "5%" of men is. Everyone has different preferences and priorities for finding a partner.

I also think that most people (men and women) have at least a general sense of who is in and out of their "league" and they mostly play within it.

Not true. More men want partners who are as educated and accomplished as themselves. Women's looks play a lesser part than they used to.

LOL... What are you smoking?

According to a quick google search, 11% of women make $100,000 or more on a national level, whereas 21% of men do.

In the U.S. population, about 14.5 percent of all men are six feet or over. Roughly 1% of US women are 6 feet tall or taller.

Share of Americans in dating/marriage phase who make $100k or more.

Beauty is a smaller part of the package then it used to be. Attraction is a mix of beauty, personality, compatibility, fitness, intellect, accomplishment and money etc.

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.

This (and I'm a man). No one is saying that physical attractiveness is irrelevant, or that we're equally likely to date a high-school dropout as a college graduate. Sure, those factors matter. But normal people don't approach potential romantic interests the way an NBA general manager approaches the draft.

This is a very age related question. The top men who are in law school, med school, fast track business are scooped up shortly after school, at grad school, or even in college. There are not a lot of high earners that are great marriage material by 30. There are a lot of single guys. There are guys that are single and high earners. But the best ones are off the market.

And high earners do not get divorced at the rate of other Americans. 50% may be the divorce rate but for low earners it goes down to 75% but high earners it drops below 25%.

As a PP said, once the secretary married the lawyer and the doctor married the nurse. Now the lawyer is already married before he gets to the firm or shortly thereafter and the doctor is married to another doctor.

Tell that to people who use Tinder, Bumble, match.com, or Jdate online dating apps. Beauty is the first thing they pay attention to, not personality, compatibility, fitness, intellect, accomplishment and money. You will not be able to get a date if you can't pass the beauty test first.

How tall they are should be a f'able question. You are turned on because they are tall. If that does not matter then great. How much they earn is aq question of the life that you both will build. And whiler it can all change overnight you do have to be realistic at to that life.

Maybe thinking like a general manager is not a bad way to think. Men think that way about who to marry.

Yeah, this is a much bigger concern, OP. You should stop worrying about the nonsense talking point and start worrying about your daughter's gullibility and reasons for hanging out around the shittiest places on the Internet.

I think there’s some truth to it though, despite people using dating apps and instantly making judgments about others based on their appearance. A few generations ago, the high-achieving up and comer with an Ivy degree from a well-off family - not an old money upper crust family but upper middle class at the time - might have seriously dated and married the attractive young secretary from a blue collar background. Not so today. He might have a fling with the admin assistant, but ultimately a serious relationship and marriage is going to come with a woman who grew up similar, similar background, similar education, and a higher level of achievement - even if she’s more plain looking. “Marrying up” is less of a thing.

For marriage, a guy that's not in the top 5% will be happy with one of those women that are medium level attractive but have all of those other traits.
