Could you show me some of those facts?

On mobile, no direct access to sources. But:

Compare the average man with the average woman. In general,

• the man will swipe right about 100 times before he can arrange a single coffee date.
• out of five coffee dates, four will ghost him or otherwise fail to show up, leading to one successful date per thousand attempts.
• the average woman who asks can get the same buy-in by men for every ≈5 swipes right
• she will see only one ghosting or otherwise failing to follow through for every ≈25 such coffee dates.
• just managing to leverage a date is a 20:1 advantage in the woman’s favour.
• actually going on a date and not getting ghosted is about a 100:1 advantage in the woman’s favour
• for an average man, the asymmetry of experience gets progressively more nightmarish the further along you progress.
• when it comes to sexual experience, it is only the top-5% of men who have as much sexual experience as the bottom 60% of women. It is only the top 1% of men who have as much sexual experience as the top-35% of women.

.

• when men were presented with a scenario where a woman met 80% of his desired attributes, about ¾ said they would gladly entertain a relationship with her.
• when a woman was presented with the flip proposition, where a man met 80% of her desired attributes, a similar ¾ of them said the exact opposite… that they would absolutely refuse to entertain a relationship with such a man due to his glaring inadequacies.

.

• when gauging women, men invariably graded them on an almost perfect bell curve, with half being above average in physical attractiveness, and half below.
• when gauging men, women skewed the bell curve severely towards the bottom end, with slightly over 80% of men being “below average attractiveness”.
• men’s bell curve of women shifted objectively based on how attractive the cohort of women were. A more beautiful group was shifted higher, no different than if they were just a part of a larger group.
• women rated a more attractive group of men equally as harshly as a more random group, with 80% of them still being “below average attractiveness” regardless of how highly attractive they might be among the general population.

.

• individual exceptions exist, but in general women are still very loathe to marry a man that makes less than they do, or has a less socially prestigious job than she does. Women who make more than $100k almost never marry men who make less than they do, even when that difference is almost negligible.
• when the woman makes $100k, the average husband’s wage is about $220k
• In fact, early retirement by the man (and sometimes, even just retirement at the appropriate age) precipitates 100% of all retirement-triggered divorces… which are invariably woman-initiated.

Now, nothing is technically bad about any of this. It’s how evolution has shaped each sex to optimize their own sexual success.

Where things get ugly is when one side uses their own experience to whitewash the other side to either ignore issues, remain ignorant of those issues, or deny they even exist.
