So I know I just made a post about where the most ideal state for dating, ideal location, but people here, from reading threads, consistently say that men need to be six figures, extremely fit, luxury car to get the chance of being with an average woman. I concede that in locations like SF and NYC women have higher standards, but so much of America, the midwest, southeast, south, north are middle class and below. They don't make six figures, are overweight, live mediocre average lives. Hell, just going to college puts you in top half of Americans, graduate school even less. No debt or addiction, or money in the bank even less. Most people in the U.S. don't have many if any high value characteristics.

Why do people here say that men need to check off all these boxes when men in so many parts of America are unimpressive as hell yet have families and partners? Is everyone here just part of an elite circle of high class professionals?
