This is pretty true. Between feminist and online dating (hookup culture) dating a women, unless you are in the top 10% of guys is a rare thing. A lot of women will not date down, ie if the guy does not make the same or more, they won't date you. Never mind that guys have been doing that since creation. A lot of women believe they are entitled to someone who looks like the MC (must be over 6', must be athletic, etc), even if they are clearly well below that level in looks. A study showed that women consider 80% of the men on dating apps "below average" in appearance

. What they fail to realize is that that the top 10-20% of men, have so many options, they aren't going to settle down. They can "hit it and quit it" at any time. And when/if they do finally decide to settle down, it will be with a top 10% women too. Heck, I even saw a study that showed that... it was at least a third of women, will say yes to a date a guy they are not interested in, to get a free dinner.

Edit: Added sources. Please note, I said "a lot" not "all" and "a lot" is subjective. shrugs. Also, the over 6' and athletic, (and you can probably add "makes over 6 figures" too) is ancedotal, I don't have a study, but it's very common in women's dating profiles.
