As I see it, a common issue discussed on this subreddit is that the average women has an abundance of options and hence doesn't settle and keeps looking endlessly. They can get a guy, but its not the "right" guy that they want.

Perhaps do you think men in the top 10-20% behave similarly as they can also get endless options and can get girls but not the "right" girl? Sometimes I think like this myself, I consider myself in this category most likely (perhaps around 15th percentile), and I can get women but I too don't feel satisfied because the women I want are perhaps just out of my reach.

So maybe to humanize women, you can see that even men act the same way a lot of times when they get the option. Sometimes I think maybe guys with lower SMV think that they'll take any girl but that's not the case, they don't want the fat ugly girl. And so you can see men acting like this all the way up to say a guy is a 8 and he doesn't want a 6, he wants an 8 too. But it won't work because the 8 girl wants the 9 guy. In one ugly way of looking at it, some people gets a taste of that "next level up" and endlessly tries to get as high as they can until they decide to settle.

I know this is super ugly way to look at this, but just some thoughts ive been having and wanted to share. Maybe its just human behavior. I am purple pilled btw. I think its a true mix of unique personality matches (blue pill) as well as biological realities (red pill) that make a lasting successful relationship. Thanks for reading, above all love, I love the human race <3
