In theory, 80% of women are regarded as "dateable" while only 20% of men are. Simply because of differing terms on what "average" means in terms of overall attractiveness

80/20 does exist for women, where the top 20% will receive the first attempts, the most compliments, and the most attention. The difference is that men are fishibg with nets, not poles, and are giving attention to the entire % he considers fuckable at once.
The bottom 80% of women are more likely to be ghosted by chad.

If you lined up 100 random females and had males all rate which one they found the most attractive it is reasonable to say that 80% of the male's votes would go to around 20% of the females(20 of them). This would also stack on top of itself, so 20% of that 20% and so on and so forth.

And if you don't believe it, go to chaturbate:
Looking at the viewers:
6000, 4200, 2000, 2400, 2000, 2000.... There are ~1600 camgirls, the last ~1000 have 5 viewer or less.
[–]YesICanWhoopUrAssRedskins2 points3 points4 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
At least camgirls exist.

So...
20% of females would get 80% of votes?
4% of females would get 64% of votes?
1.6% of females would get 51% of votes?
[–][deleted] 2 points3 points4 points 8 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
I don’t think it would exponentiate equally as you get smaller. It’s probably like
20% would get 80% of votes (20:80)
8% would get 64% of votes (40:80)
5% would get 51% of votes (68:80)
I think it’s reasonable to assume that the five most attractive women would get half the votes. Keep in mind it’s not like each man is voting for their #1 most attractive women, they’re not giving a top 5 or anything. So even if their perceptions / preferences to vary overall, when asked about their absolute #1, they would most likely converge to a similar answer.

correct. out of 100 women i would venture a guess that 5 women would receive vastly more votes than anyone else, and likely 1 woman would receive vastly more than her 4 peers. that's assuming though that you just rate the men's preferences in a vacuum. you make them aware of who their competition has chosen and let them see how they stack up to their competition, and you'll see votes trickle down the scale pretty quickly. a man's ego will gladly fool him into liking something less than if the greater than option is clearly out of reach due to seemingly insurmountable/exceptional competition.
[–]Electra_CuteChristian, Flat Earther, Anti-Vaxxer, Astrologer1 point2 points3 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Yes, that would not even be that crazy of an assumption.

I think OP's question is actually more about those women who aren't in the 80% who are fucked by Chad.
[–]Electra_CuteChristian, Flat Earther, Anti-Vaxxer, Astrologer1 point2 points3 points 8 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link
There is no “80% f*cked by Chad”.
[–]mistercheeez-o____O-1 point2 points3 points 8 years ago* (3 children) | Copy Link
That's a misinterpretation.
The women rate 80% of men poorly, but that does not mean that they will not date them. They'll message those same men that they expressed were undesirable, but well before the first interaction they go into this with the idea that they are dating down. Which is more of a prejudice than fact.
And this prejudice is actually a defence mechanism. There's an article that talks about this here.
They are harsher towards the men, where in the context in which they do not feel rejected by the most attractive men, they would judge more positively. They do this to disassociate themselves from the "underclass", because to engage them as equals would make them feel like that's there place in the pecking order, and none of them want to feel less than ineffably beautiful.

Overall, men rated themselves higher in self-perceived attractiveness (M = 3.35) than did women (M = 2.56;* t(157) = 3.48, *p = .0007). It is notable that whereas only 2 males gave themselves the lowest self-perceived attractiveness rating on the scale, 14 females rated themselves that low (see Figures 2 and 3). These findings are consistent with past studies that report that men tend to overestimate their attractiveness
I think it's a combination of men overestimating their attractiveness and women being harsh judges that causes some people to think women want to dissociate themselves from the 'underclass'. Women seem to be harsh judges more so with themselves than anyone else, from my experience.
[–]mistercheeez-o____O-1 point2 points3 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
That's exactly right. The harsh ratings from women towards men is a projection of their own self-esteem issues.

According to the OKCupid data, men actually rate women on a normal distribution unlike women. Men will message only the high end of women though. Women have the skewed attractiveness rating where 80% of men are Below Average. They are more willing to message those men though. I would say a more accurate way to say what you're trying to say is: 20% of women receive 80% of mens' advances and messages.
Okay
[–]ImJuliusPepperwood 1 points1 points1 points 8 years ago [recovered] | Copy Link
Stop quoting the OkCupid study. It represents nothing more than okcupid users and is statistically worthless.
[–]LowCredditRead the sidecar-1 points0 points1 point 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I definitely agree with you on the basis of statistics. You also have to agree that there isn't anything else out there with as high an N or with the ability to track interactions. It still gives us insight into internet dating, which is a large portion of modern dating.
[–]Madness201 point2 points3 points 8 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
the 20% lower percent in that principle, would be the ones that the top 20% men wouldn't touch for some reason or other.
Either being too ugly, fat/skinny, mental, or very unhealthy history overall.
[–]CapnRonRico-1 points0 points1 point 8 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
No they become more unstable as they become more attractive because their looks allow them to get away with more.
[–]Madness200 points1 point2 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
You could say the same for the less attractive they are. People that suffer from some sort of discrimination, usually end up with social and emotional problems derived from the rejection and lack of socialization.

People who think that the Pareto distribution obtains the way OP describes don't understand it.
80% of the sex outside LTR's is had by 20% of the men out there in no-LTR land. Women are the gatekeepers for this sex, so the obverse does not obtain: 20% of the sex women have outside of LTR's is had by about 20% of the women. 40% of that sex is had by about 40% of those women. 60% of the sex... you see where I'm going.
[–]exit_sandmanstill not the MGTOW sandman FFS1 point2 points3 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Going with the "20% of all men tap into the pool where 80% of all women are", this could mean that the women who don't belong in that group are either too unattractive to warrant attention or simply happen to never fall for a Chad. But probably a mix of both.
A girl for example who completely refuses to engage in casual sex and has always done so (and didn't just change her mind after a bad experience or two in that regard) but is also unable to get a Chad to commit to her, thus only dating within her league and pretty normal, non-promiscuous guys would qualify.
Of course this hinges on my personal interpretation of the TRP 80/20-principle, namely that there's a pool of semi-promiscuous or promiscuous guys who are successful when it comes to obtaining romantic encounters outside of relationships; and dipping into that pool as a woman makes you part of the 80% (in other words: if you never ever spread your legs for such a guy, you belong to the 20%).
I won't take any responsibility for other interpretations.
[–]quicklogaccountI claim to cause RPs to feel blue1 point2 points3 points 8 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
But who are the 20% of women in this rule and what are they doing?
They're having non committal relationships with the top 5% of men or so. Sometimes they reach a top 1%, sometimes a 5%, so they believe they have too many options and too many doors for them to settle yet, unless it's an obvious 1%ter man seeking her commitment.

You’d think that bottom 20% of women that have been fucking Brad Pitt on the sly would smarten up and sell their stories to the tabloids for cash.
Or, maybe there are no bottom 20% fucking the 1%.
Just once I’d like to see you guys provide some evidence that this exists beyond your imagination. Just once.

Good morning, Poppy. Did you have a good weekend?
I had a pretty good one, and I'm having a bit of a hard time getting your point here. Are you suggesting that some of the worse looking 20% women also fuck Brad Pitt? Or are you talking about the worst looking 20% of Brad Pitt's partners? The differentiation is crucial there.
Anyways I take that you caught yourself arguing that the absence of women selling their stories to tabloids is "absence of evidence", and that absence of evidence is evidence of absence.
[–]Black_m0ngoose0 points1 point2 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Just a guess, but perhaps 80% of the women end up being mothers whilst 20% die as bitter, old cat ladies.
[–]killallthenarcs0 points1 point2 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
The bottom 80% have to deal with husbands who say "yes dear" but don't mean it.
[–]Entropy-7Old Goat0 points1 point2 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
The problem is that when we mix disciplines, the terms get all fucked up.
The 80/20 Rule under TRP is ***NOT*** a pareto principle. .
A reasonable theory is this:
: The top 20% of men *attract* the top 80% of women. They "attract them'; they don't marry them or even fuck them, but they are the guys that they want to "get with".

They spend 80% of their beauty in their first 20 years.

I hope you mean first 20 years of sexual maturity / dating eligibility.

Ah yes, that could be taken in a way which I had not considered.
[–]blackedoutfastRed Pill Man0 points1 point2 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
it doesn't work that way. women want to have the best man, men want to have the best available woman.
