I have seen men complaining about movies "misleading" them into thinking that they can be some nerd nobody and still get a "hot" woman. Thing is this kind of movies/shows are almost always made by men for men. If you look at shows/movies/literature created by women, they usually show different things. I have literally never read a book created by women for women where the female protagonist goes for some loser. The love interest in female media is usually competent, confident, successful etc.

And before someone says that in Harry Potter, Hermione chose the sidekick over the hero, I would like to remind you that the books are quite different from the movies. In the books, Ron was much more competent than he was portrayed in the movies. The movies really dumbed him down for some reason.

Despite all that, men still act as if women specifically were the ones who "lied" to them. They literally act as if there is some female conspiracy to keep men in the dark.
