There's a reason why women and the average socially awkward nerds who can't even bring themselves to lift the shopping bag lie about what they want when they're asked.

They don't know that they're lying, they're just confusing their personal expectations with the reality of attraction.

The average girl expects that she'll get an average guy (beta bucks), but in reality she's attracted as fuck to the guy who lifts, makes good bank and has self-respect and options.

So when they say "what do you want from a guy" she gives you expectations, not the reality. This is why the average girl will tell you "I want a guy who's nice and cute" without mentioning that she's expecting niceness from the men she's sexually aroused with: the ones with fit body that are confident and social and put themselves first.

A guy who faps to porn that has for actors fit hot girls getting fucked or whatever will still say that "all that I want is an average cute girl who's not a bitch". All the while he's busting a nut for that hot babe who has the perfect body. He too confuses his standards and expectations with the reality about what finds attractive.

I confronted someone I know who's watching porn in that, and guess what happened: He said "oh" and awkwardly attempted to change the subject.

So, my theory as to why both women and beta men are telling something that isn't true is because of that. And the funniest shit is that the moment a male who just "wants a cute girl with a good character" realize that a straight 10/10 girl just looked at his general direction for 1 second because she was trying to get off the bus and he was standing in her way, he might even make her his fapping material. "Oh god she was so hot can't wait to go home and bust a nut, I bet her pussy smells like roses". All the while he'll be saying to his friends that he hates bitches and girls that are too hot.

So there you have it. Misinformation stems from confusing expectations of what you can attract with the reality of what you find arousing. So when people asked "what do you want from someone?" they basically give you the former, not the latter. And red pill men give the same response in both scenarios because they're comfortable with their sexuality and maintain integrity - your actions being aligned with your words. And that can only happen by working backwards: "My dick is getting hard by women of that kind, therefore I want them", instead of "I'm skinny/fat and socially awkward, probably end up in a dead-end job, therefore what I want is cute girls with a nice character".
