I am very selective in who I want to be with, and therefore hardly ever have a consitent partner; I want the whole package bc I am and have standards for myself. The only guy friends I know that get it regular are either a) not picky at all or b) in an LTR which usually has a shelf life... Most of those LTRs the woman is not objectively a 8+ lookswise (what most men want). Unicorn women (ones with personality and the looks) are generally not gonna be available; in an LTR, married or dating a guy they are close in proximity too.

Research has proven men have looser standards in general for women. (See swipe app data). Online dating generally sucks for men because it is tough to connect and demonstrate things you only get in person (confidence, sociability etc). Status you can flash but tht only goes so far. However, if a top 10% man is so desperate for company he can surely just shoot for a 7 or lower and get high interest easily.
