[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All women only go after guys who check three boxes: at least 6 feet tall, make six figures, and have six-pack abs. But when you break that down, not many guys actually meet all those standards [/quote]

[b]I… just don’t get this take, especially the words “all” and “only.” When I look around, I see many, many men who don’t fit this description who are happily married.[/b] Before I was married, my friends and I were looking for kind and compatible, some sort of physical spark, and someone who had or was on their way to a career of some type (and I don’t mean doctor/lawyer/finance, I mean any type of self-sustaining career).

My husband now fits the 6 figures criterion, but we certainly didn’t expect that when we were younger. (He went back to school and switched careers from social work to software development.) 6 feet and a 6 pack were never in the cards. (To me, 6 pack often indicates “vain gym rat” as being strong and healthy does not require this.)

When people say this, they actually talking about stereotypically hot women? The type of women that these men consider to be high-value, and who attach a lot of importance to appearance?

Because if what you’re actually saying is “hot people who highly primarily value looks and money want other hot people who primarily value looks and money,” well, duh. But that’s very, very different than “all” women, and would go both ways with women and men.

Exactly. I'm not sure when or where this phrase caught on, but it's just factually false. If you have eyes, you can look around and see that it's not the case.

These men who can't get laid would rather blame women for only wanting the 6/6/6 than acknowledge they have the personality of a piece of bread, the warmth of a rock and the attitude of a misogynistic troll. It's easier to blame the woman than improve yourself. They also hate women that don't fit their standards - too fat, too flat, too tall, too outspoken, too opinionated, too feminist, too liberal, too many tattoos, too many piercings, too career oriented, etc etc etc. Basically they just hate women if they can't control them and manipulate them into a sex doll.
