Unfair expectations

Literally, there is no physically perfect man in this study. That is a bit more interesting than the obvious hypergamy going on here. Really, what is the perfect man, physically speaking?

At what point is a man "most" attractive? A movie star, who spends 50% of his day refining his look?

A store that sells new husbands has just opened in New York City, where a woman may go to choose a husband. Among the instructions at the entrance is a description of how the store operates.

You may visit the store ONLY ONCE! There are six floors and the attributes of the men increase as the shopper ascends the flights. There is, however, a catch: you may choose any man from a particular floor, or you may choose to go up a floor, but you cannot go back down except to exit the building!

So, a woman goes to the Husband Store to find a husband...

On each floor the signs on the doors read:

Floor 1 - These men have jobs.

Floor 2 - These men have jobs and love kids.

Floor 3 - These men have jobs, love kids, and are extremely good looking. "Wow," she thinks, but feels compelled to keep going. She goes to the fourth floor and sign reads:

Floor 4 - These men have jobs, love kids, are drop-dead good looking and help with the housework. "Oh, mercy me!" she exclaims, "I can hardly stand it!" Still, she goes to the fifth floor and sign reads:

Floor 5 - These men have jobs, love kids, are drop-dead gorgeous, help with the housework, and have a strong romantic streak. She is so tempted to stay, but she goes to the sixth floor and the sign reads:

Floor 6 - You are visitor 3,261,496,012 to this floor. There are no men on this floor. This floor exists solely as proof that women are impossible to please. Thank you for shopping at the Husband Store.

THE WIFE STORE

Floor 1 - has wives that love sex.

Floor 2 - has wives that love sex and have money.

The third through sixth floors have never been visited.

Men are met with harsher beauty standards than women, despite mainstream/feminist society claiming the straight opposite.

When it comes to appearance, women are mostly criticized for their weight, although that's very fixable. Also, being overweight carries health issues. That doesn't matter though, society glorifies fat women, is dedicated to make them feel good and shame men for having weight preferences.

But what about male attractiveness? Men are mostly disrespected for immutable, genetic traits such as height, jawline, hairline, penis size and so on. And making fun of men for lacking in these departments is very, very acceptable. Just think of all the small penis insults, which feminists are also very fond of. Men who voice sadness, frustration or anger about being disrespected for such arbitrary traits are told to stop whining and deal with it, despite people's virtue signalling about "allowing men to open up".

I am surprised that there is an almost perfect bellcurve, thats kinda awesome.

DeadMansBoots · 2019-04-18T08:08:33+00:00

The only way to please women would be if the 'How men rate women' graph was the inverse of 'how women rate men' graph.

They really are that delusional.

Tailtappin · 2019-04-18T11:37:46+00:00

Hmmm...I wonder how well the women would do if they weren't allowed to wear make-up, push-up bras, high heels or any of the other ten million things women do to essentially lie about their attractiveness.

Zirealeredin · 2019-04-18T09:47:31+00:00

This is because women select men based on hierarchy, which we have completely abandoned for the past several decades. The way society has changed has no effect on the method men use to appraise women.

Egalitarianism has done this.

Hot4M · 2019-04-18T13:12:57+00:00

You could probably actually prove that men find attractiveness exactly how attractiveness is spread over the population by the bell curve.

PowerWisdomCourage · 2019-04-18T17:16:00+00:00

If I were to venture a guess, women have such an over-inflated sense of self-worth that, when they rate men in relation to themselves, everyone pales in comparison. Like the whole reacher/settler thing: most women seem to consider themselves the settler. Granted that's a broad generalization (pun somewhat intended) and I'm not basing it on anything but it seems plausible given the current climate.

trippingongiraffes · 2019-04-18T16:53:18+00:00

Gotta love the normal distribution of the "how males rate women". Very nice to see

NecroHexr · 2019-04-18T10:44:09+00:00

Maybe there are more attractive women on OKC than attractive men, but then again, there's no telling.

Where is this data from? I’m curious if they have other metrics as well (such as age)

Would love to see citations for this data. Any studies conducted on this phenomenon?

14b755fe39 · 2019-04-19T12:26:18+00:00

does any one have a link to the original study, or similar studies that in agreement/contradiction

Whisper · 2019-04-18T23:26:31+00:00

This is because male attractiveness is almost entirely behavioural. Women can't see behaviour in a personal ad.

androk · 2019-04-18T14:46:49+00:00

Most women DON'T use visual cues as a primary means of deciding who is date-able. Most men DO use visual cues as a primary means of who is date-able.

So most women won't judge men as date-able unless more is known about them than their looks. This isn't good or bad, it's just that men and women are different.

chambertlo · 2019-04-18T11:33:09+00:00

Nah, it’s just that straight men have shit standards. I’ve seen what some of you look at in the street. These broads are 4’s on a good day yet y’all act like they are 8’s, with the way you trip over yourselves when you see them.

Raise your standards, gents.
