Not always true. I ended up working in factory with bunch of illiterate immigrants. I also lived in very low income area. How the heck was I ever going to find a partner there. Even the one decent guy mistreated me.
After I got out, I had no idea how a good partner is supposed to behave.

I mean, you don't sound like a catch.

Men aren't delusional, we are playing a numbers game and moving on to the next after each rejection. Women are the ones demanding a 6'1" chiseled Greek god along with an unraveled scroll of additional requirements.

Men. They don't even think about it. They just want to get laid.

I dunno, the schlubby Dad and hot mom is a pretty common trope.

People who obsess over gender war nonsense.

Men

It depends on the age. Women in their 20s have all the power when it comes to finding a partner. It gets more complicated after that.

Men

Definitely men. They are desperate. And if the don’t get laid, they blame not themselves, but women. They are willing to drug, rape, shoot people over this entitlement.

With men, they just don’t get it. Other guys aren’t feeding them bs, they’re just too dumb to understand.

Busy calling people dumb and you can't even properly answer the question.

Man here, and I was always intimidated by really good-looking women. I would tell myself they were "born with a boyfriend" and wouldn't bother approaching them. My wife actually did have a boyfriend when we first met and we got to know each other as friends first.

I don’t know if other people had this experience, but I feel like, when it comes to dating, most of my male friends are like Ross from “Friends,” and they have one specific girl that they obsess over for months or years, whether they are dating her or not.

So, while a lot of my female friends have a list of “criteria” that seems unrealistic, they will usually date outside of that and kind of know that some of it is unreasonable. Meanwhile, the men say they have no criteria, but what they really mean is “Heather, (and whoever else will have sex with me while I try to get Heather to go out with me.)”

If you see a couple where one partner is noticeably better looking, better groomed, etc. is it usually the man? No.

Usually if there's a noticeable mismatch, it's the woman who is more attractive. Usually the exception is for a long-married couple where the woman gets worn down and the guy looks decent.

Women are a bit more open-minded about their partners' looks, I think.
