The "medium ugly guy" thing seems to be a social media trend. I'm not into social media.

What I find disturbing is that 20min.ch , the most read newspaper in Switzerland pushes this trend and want women to participate with stories how they handle this phenomen (that women are luckier if they date an "ugly" guy). Think about the 80/20 rule. What it means is, if women date in their own league.

20min.ch always helps with headlines if there is sexism (against women), rassism, etc. If this trend would be called "medium ugly girl" the would condemn this on the front page as sexism. But not if it is against men.
