When you look at dating advice for women, a lot of it is centered on attracting high quality/value men. This implies that accomplishing this is a problem for women, which further implies most men they meet are not "high quality."

And if that's the case, that pretty much means we're all screwed. So is it really that bad, or is this "high quality man" thing actually kind of a red herring? Like, people look for different things so what one woman would call a high quality man another might find boring. So is it really more like "high quality to me" and there's all these unstated differences in preferences making the term amorphous and subjective?

Or if you're committing to the edgy doomer viewpoint then the follow-up question is: why are men nowadays low quality? For example it seems like every woman wants a man with a traditional masculine provider mindset who does all the pursuing etc. But traditional masculinity and gender roles have been demonized, used and abused in the past decade, leading to less men conforming to that type.
