Expectation Differences between Men & Women

Seems about what I would expect.

The one that's interesting is the low score for men to feel pressure to be physically attractive. On one hand, it's nice to not feel pressured, on the other hand I think society underestimates how much a role it has on a guys ability to attract women (if he's so inclined). For many guys trying, 3 hours a week hitting the gym would have a pretty good return on investment and be good for your health to boot.

On the previous page from the one linked, "Honesty/Morality" being the most valued thing in men is interesting, especially when the women's score is half as much. I've wondered if women have a hard time telling the difference between guys only really trying to get them into bed and those who may be willing to commit to them in a marriage or LTR. There are frequent stories about them being mad even if the guy was clear from the start a LTR was not going to happen. And then this comes out as wishing guys were more "honest". Just a theory. I'd welcome critique.

Being physically attractive is way more of a pressure for men than for women because women can and are encouraged to fake it.

makeup, breast pads, heels, and dresses that enhance the figure.

as a man, you are either born attractive or suffer the best you can do is become rich which the vast majority of people will not achieve.

Overall I agree but these pew research surveys are so subjective, I don’t give the results a lot of credence. Respondents need to pick some answer. Maybe they feel passionately that way, maybe it simply seemed a slightly better answer than the alternative responses.
