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. 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.

And 6 packs can be a little creepy for me if too defined.

I'm okay with out them.

Only about 14% of men in the U.S. are over 6 feet tall. Around 25% make $100k or more. If you combine just those two, you’re already down to roughly 3.5% of men. Add in the six-pack requirement, and you’re probably looking at 1% or less.

So, every woman is chasing that 1%.

On the flip side, guys tend to have simpler preferences. They mostly want someone who’s attractive. There are a lot of beautiful women out there at any height and income range.

Maybe women just want men who are better at math than you?

I'm 5'5"

I have a whole range of acceptable heights that still make me feel that they are taller than me. And in some cases, their height doesn't matter.

Most men also chase the top 1% of women. Men prioritize physical attraction more, but other things like intelligence still factor.

I think you are wrong. Most women don’t chase men at all.
Most women know that if a man doesn’t think you are attractive, there is no point in pursuing anything. And if he does think you are beautiful, then he will pursue you.
There is no point in “going after” a man.

This.

Incels are incels for a reason. Maybe life was easier for repulsive men back when society made it very difficult for women to live independently.

Probably the kind of women who go after men tend to go after the same ones. Most women are socialized not to do that though.

Yes. But most men are interested in the same women, too. The more beautiful people we see on TV, the more normal that standard seems to us.

Imagine living in an agrarian society 200 years ago. The most beautiful woman you’d see in your life would likely be much less beautiful than what we routinely see in the media. She wouldn’t be retouched, wear makeup, or have hair dye. Your expectations would be more realistic. Hers would be, too.

yes i think so. Most men are just not attractive

I will say yes because most men don't stand our unlike women. Show me 5 single women ready for a night out and ask me to pick one. It will be hard because they are most likely all beautiful dressed up nice makeup hair done etc. The same cannot be said of men. Show me 5 single man ready for s night out and most likely only one stands out.

Is it true that women go after the same men? Or is it an incel driven conspiracy theory?
