"Men 6' tall or more are 10% of men. Men on 100K + salaries are 10%. Men who fall into BOTH camps are 10% of 10% ie: 1%. Out of that 1%, less than half have any interest in marriage due to the crippling financial risk and the fact that such men are picking & choosing which gorgeous, leggy, thin, young PR lady they sleep with every Friday/Saturday night. That leaves 0.5% Consider that as soon as single women hit 30 (on average), quit dating the musicians, bikers, surfers and sundry 'bad boys' and no-hopers and start to seriously seek out a husband who (ideally) is tall and of high financial status, you effectively have 100% looking to hook up with 0.5%. That's like 200 people applying for 1 job vacancy. There's going to 199 "We thank you for your interest but unfortunately you were unsuccessful. We wish you luck in your future endeavours. " letters going out."
"Good analysis, but I'd like to add that those 0.5% of guys (due to their high demand) may either not marry or engage in affairs. The term "sidechick" comes to mind, the 199 of women left have the choice of settling for lower standards, never producing offspring, or become single mothers with the offspring of the 0.5% of "high" status men. I'd argue that the latter of these choices is the common outcome."
Sounds like a numbers game.

" 5. No initiative. (Women never make a move. They are far too passive and silent. To a man, the lack of initiative is a sign of disinterest.)"
Okay. I'm guilty of this one although not every woman is. At the same time, it is rather confusing to navigate. Like how initiative should I be? What does this look like? What does he mean by making a move? There are also subtle things that women tend to do to show interest... which can be hard to pick up on unless you know them and go looking, or ask. Women also run into the same problems as men when directly asking so it doesn't always follow. It's tough to ask people out.
Then there is another part in my head that worries about whether I am taking this role away from the guy and whether he would appreciate it. I guess I still think traditionally...
-
" 3. Money money money. (Women absolutely refuse to date men who earn less than they do.)"
This does hold validity. But how much is biologically-driven? A lot of women crave stability, and it is very stressful for everyone involved to worry about income. Money is an issue, whichever way you slice it.
There must be some type of money ceiling for this too. It obviously depends on the woman and the lifestyle she is comfortable with as well. I imagine that education and career-progress brings a certain level of comfort and opportunity, along with stress. People tend to prefer what is familiar to them.
Of course, I won't discount that there are a certain portion of women in these positions who will look down on guys that earn less. It would be less appealing, or perhaps it is their way of filtering for what they want in a relationship. A number of them would get lots of interest. Especially if they are very attractive as well as educated. Lots of guys are drawn to that.
-
"2. No flexibility. (Women will not change their lifestyle to let a man in. They expect a man to change his life to fit into hers.)"
I'm not sure this one really follows. Often, women have gone where the men go, and tried to fit in. They have tried doing things with him out of the ordinary, out of their comfort zone. I think this goes both ways, especially because you feel nervous and want to impress your date on both sides.
But even later on, when you love someone. I catch myself trying to fit time in together, and making other things fit in around that allocated time because it is more important to me to be with the man I love.
Although I will admit that there is a case for women that will try to change their men rather than themselves, especially if the men are dysfunctional. They want to be that woman who reforms the bad boy that sleeps around. Or they will have a problem when their guy changes too much, and can no longer recognise him. It's important to have realistic expectations here. I don't assume I will reform the bad boys, I leave them to it with other women... and I also realise that we all gradually change over time. It truly is something to grow old with someone and learn to accept them as they are while also still holding good standards.

"Oh, you find my boyfriend attractive? Me too!"
-
Also, it's a turn off for me when I think about how desirable a man is through the lens of lots of other women. Maybe this shows how anti-social I am with other women though. It's kinda awkward.
-
At best, these guys are good for eye candy. But I wouldn't involve myself in having a relationship. There is much going against a guy like this. ;;
-
This top percent of men... usually about physical looks or wealth. When I think about the dysfunction in the upper classes, I nope out. I haven't looked too deeply into this, but it seems to be filled with divorce or cheating. It's not a good environment to raise children up in. Not to mention that these guys have lots of women flinging themselves at them... they are more likely interested in having flings. Only a small percentage would be family material and I have no reason to think those guys would be interested in me. It's probably not any better in any class when it comes to dysfunction though.
-
"1. Unrealistic expectations. (Women expect to date only 9/10 and 10/10 men. By contrast, men will settle for just about anything.)"
Darn... where did my unrealistic expectations for the top percent of men go?
Also, men won't settle for just about anything. We really should put that to rest, especially so guys don't buy into needing to do this. Nobody should settle for anything. Standards are important... especially if you want to raise a family or have a healthy relationship.
-
Really tall guys have taken an interest in me before, and I just remember how it was hard for me to imagine being with them because of the height gap. So at what point is there a cutoff point for this rule that supposedly women want guys who are over 6ft?

I lol'd when she mentioned that short women are lucky because they get access to a larger number of men when it comes to dating. I was just thinking that when height came into it... that I'm lucky to be so short because so many men are taller than me. So it hasn't been a huge issue for me. Many short guys are still taller than me.

Oh snap. Janice Fiamengo talking about the MeToo movement.

When I do watch sports which I don't normally care about, I would prefer to watch males tbh. Such eye candy. :^)
-
@augustus I wonder how much longer we're going to have to wait until they do something about this for a change.
-
@augustus Aha... I wasn't really aware of him or his history. Just that he made sense in this video.
-
@augustus Have you heard of him before?

"I have 7 daughters... While you're teaching your kids how to behave as men I have to teach my kids how NOT to behave as women. I don't think you wanna swap, lol" LOL.
