[quote=Anonymous]To be above average attractiveness, all a woman has to do is not be fat and be well-groomed.
For men, conventional attractiveness has a lot more to do with things that he cannot control, that are genetic: height, masculine features like a strong jawline, cheekbones, and position of the eyes, overall robustness of physique.

Take for example a couple that is considered universally unattractive: Caroline Ellison and Sam Bankman-Fried. Caroline Ellison could straighten her hair, tweeze her eyebrows, get a new pair of glasses, straighten her teeth and be decent looking. There's not much SBF could do to be good looking. And can get much worse for other men. If you just happen to lack the stature or bone structure traditionally associated with masculinity, you're out of luck, and that's what drives a lot of inceldom.

The problem with this in the dating market is a lot of women can hit the gym and get their hair done and easily be a 6-7, and they understandably go for men who are 7 and above. But they are competing with 9s and 10s, plus younger women, all for the same men that are gifted genetically. In fact, I would say that slender, above average looking women have a harder time than overweight and below average women who know their market and don't date for conventional looks. The stereotype of the blue-haired, tattooed, obese woman being single because she wants a tall, dark, and handsome millionaire is not accurate. Blue haired obese women date blue-haired obese men and they are usually pretty happy with that. It's the moderately-attractive-but-not-special women over 30 who are disappointed. [/quote]
