Its a very telling graph, and it is absolutely in line with the proposition that women are (for whatever reason) more picky/selective than men.

Whether or not this validates AFBB in its entirety is debatable (you'd have to deduce implications and have some additional evidence on the side), but it certainly shows women on average need a little more aesthetic enticement to jump into the sack than men (relatively speaking).

As you can see from the gray line, women rate an incredible 80% of guys as worse-looking than medium. Very harsh. On the other hand, when it comes to actual messaging, women shift their expectations only just slightly ahead of the curve, which is a healthier pattern than guys’ pursuing the all-but-unattainable.

So their subjective ratings of male attractiveness seem unduly harsh, but their behaviour reflects a more realistic approach. TRP is all about watching what someone does, not what they say; I generally agree, and if we apply that here the 80/20 rules doesn't seem as relevant.

Also just for your own interest: in a modern context, 85% of women and 76% of men have reproduced by age 40

Not sure if this has been posted yet or not

Unless it's only hours to a couple of days old it's likely been posted. The sub has been around long enough that a lot of the content is rehashed.
