Do you really not see how this is also true for unattractive women?
I see that a woman who tries, including keeping her weight under control, is not invisible. A man who is employed, fit, average height, and has a less than astronomical income is invisible.
Sounds like you're mad because you aren't at least 6 feet tall.

I don't see this. Most Troll-looking men I know in a professional capacity manage to get married. Employed means some woman will take that deal.

American women, known the world over for being (along with American men) f’ing fat due to US lifestyle: bad food, no exercise.

On the other hand, I don't hear a lot of women complaining that superhawtsexy people only want to date other superhawtsexy people. I mean, duh.
Wow, where to start? I don’t know about your culture, but personally I’m not aware of guys who feel they _deserve_ a hottie. However, fat is unattractive, you know it’s unattractive, and you should address that problem if you feel overlooked. And you may not hear women complaining, but the rest of the country hears women complaining that there are no available men who meet their standards: all of you demand a prince.

1. It's nonsensical to say that women have the "advantage" of easier access to sex. Speaking for myself, I don't see it as an advantage. If I had easier access to good sex, or to people I actually wanted to have sex with, then the word advantage might make sense. Sure, I could find someone to f*ck right now on Tinder or whatever the kids are using these days, but what would be the advantage for me? I am extremely unlikely to find the experience worthwhile.
2. The fact is that more attractive people have easier access to sex (i.e., good sex with people they find attractive). Our culture teaches the entitled schlubby self-proclaimed "nice guys" who whine about women being gatekeepers of sex that every man deserves a hottie - because non-hotties and/or (god forbid!) fat chicks simply don't count as sexual beings. They only pursue women who are way out of their league physically and they wonder why they can't get laid. On the other hand, I don't hear a lot of women complaining that superhawtsexy people only want to date other superhawtsexy people. I mean, duh.
3. You don't just get what you want in life because you want it. If you want someone, you have to be able to offer them something they want. "I have a penis" is not a sufficiently compelling offer for most women. If you don't understand why not, you're probably a terrible lay.
It's still an advantage. A woman of average looks has a broader pool of men she can choose from for sex than a man of average looks. You might be right that this advantage does you no good because, even with the expanded pool, you don't want to have sex with any of them. Still, if I give person A $10 to buy dinner and person B $0.50 to buy dinner, person A still has an advantage even if she won't eat anything other than champagne and caviar.
