Dating is not a system, it is not a fiat currency. It is not a leaderboard or a certification. And neither is attraction.

There's no "reasonable" standard or preference. There's simply reality and the results you get.

If you are a man, it simply does not matter what level you deem a woman, or what standards you think she should have, or how you rank you and her next to everyone else. The actual cold hold reality, the only metric that counts of has any basis in objectivity, is who actually gives you sexual and romantic attention.

If you think that women who are below you and yet they're not giving you what you deem to be the chance or attention you're entitled to because in your head you're above those women, then I've got bad news for you. You're not "their level"

Because it you were, they would be choosing you. And so if they're not, then they're not.

Human attractiveness is not tied to some centralised value system. We don't all have an invisible number above our head that says our true objective value. The only thing that determines sexual and relationship value is who is buying what you're selling.

If nobody is buying it, it literally has no value. At least within the context of dating (you can be undateable and still valuable as a person in other ways)

If a woman absolutely cannot be attracted to anyone below a certain level or without a certain set of traits, and she is getting no attention or results from those men, then that's that. Her actions will demonstrate how she really feels. If she refuses to lower those standards, then she literally prefers nobody over less. She's well within her right to be alone than have to default to settling for less. The fact that whe won't budge on those standards and is literally choosing to be alone instead shows that's her authentic feelings towards those standards.
