From where that thing 80/20 come?

An OKCupid study where women and men rated each other's attractiveness. They found that the male users tended to rate women's looks on a perfect bell curve (most are average, with a few outliers who are either very attractive or very ugly). Women users, on the other hand, ranked 80% of men as below average.

I'm sure that the original study has been deleted as every time I click a link to it, the link doesn't work. Here's an article discussing it: https://www.yourtango.com/2016285828/women-find-80-percent-men-unattractive-says-crazy-study

Notably, at the end, it explains that despite these findings, men tended to only message the top tier women, while women were more receptive to men of differing levels of attractiveness. Also, they show a few pictures of the "below average " dudes and they aren't bad looking, but the pictures are low-res, which probably knocks a few points off.

All I know is, it can't be true. If it were, then 80% of men would be incels. Most men have gone on dates and had sex with women. Incels are just a vocal minority.

It's a load of BS that Red Pill and MGTOW guys use to justify the fact women pay no attention to them, when the fact is that they are just losers and why would a woman want them?

Men who have been overlooked by women thought of that concept. Basically, the three sixes.

From this :

It is Looks > Personality > Money for both genders, but women lie more about it

Across multiple studies; attractiveness determines romantic evaluations equally for both sexes

70% of women would avoid someone solely based on their looks, compared to 31% of men

Someone already brought it up but 80/20 is an ancient rule of thumb or statistics. I remember reading it in an economics book from the 60s.

Some bold MGTOW video from probably a decade ago now was the first time I heard 80/20 rule applied to SMV but I've always been asexual anyway (the flesh and it's functions are all kind of gross haha) so I never gave it much heed other than in an ironic way. But yeah as the expression goes... 80-20 rule is old as the hills.
