A common trope on here is that the bottom percentage of men will never be subject to authentic female attraction. The percent of men differs, but this can range from the bottom 80% of men to the bottom 10% of men, depending. Generally speaking, however, it is largely agreed upon that large swaths of men will never be wanted sexually by women, the way they want women. This post doesn't refute that idea, but it may provide some solace to such men.

Just like a large bottom percent of men will never be wanted sexually by women they way they desire, the bottom percent of women will never known the heights of heterosexual male love

A lot of men on here like to use the woman vs. car analogy, so I will too. When you buy your dream car, you clean and wax it every week, you service it more often than is necessary, you fix any little dent on your bumper, you agonize over the smallest scrape. Nobody does that for the 2006 Ford Escort you got off of craigslist for 20% below KBB. Now, you don't hate that Ford Escort, it gets you from point A to point B, it does what it should, it's yours, you even enjoy driving it on occasion, when the windows can come down and your favorite song is on. But you don't love that Ford Escort, and you don't love it because you don't act like you love it

The wise menu once said on here that all you are to other people is the space you take up. With that sentiment in mind, I'd take another step and say that love isn't something that exists in your mind, something you can open up a window on your head dome and show to other people. Love is the sum of your actions or behaviors towards the person you love. Nothing more or less

When men talk about how they would be "willing to take" a 5/10 woman it is analogous to what they perceive as being "Beta Bucks". Sure, they'll want to fuck that 5/10 when he's horny and she's getting in the shower, but would he treat her like that dream car? No. That privilege is reserved for all the women who occupy most of his attention, who he perceives as with men who wouldn't treat her as well as he would.

A quick look around at couples in real life reveals this. Unattractive men are not going starry eyed over their unattractive partners, they rarely go above the call of duty for them, compliment them, sacrifice for them, buy them gifts, etc. And most men have a "one who got away" who is either the hottest or second hottest chick he ever landed, who he did these things for, but is afraid or ashamed of the idea of being in that same position with a lesser woman.
