I’ll probably end up single, and that’s better than settling
Only 14%?! Yay, me.
Or maybe it's you. Maybe you just aren't that great a partner, and could work on that. That "80% of women will only date the top 20% of men" is a self-report. It's a complaint that you're not winning so the game isn't fair, disguised as a made up statistic.
Hey by the way, if 75% of divorces are initiated by women, and I don't know if that's true or not, what that's tells me is that men aren't bringing anything to the table. And I don't mean their height or their income. I mean if a woman can pay her own bills without being forced into marriage, and that makes her not want to get or stay married, then that means her partner isn't holding up his end.
What you're admitting is that without lording economic power over them so they HAVE to choose you or starve, they would never choose you. And that's a you problem. The sooner you recognize that, the better. Because you're not going to start improving until you can admit that you need to improve.
Maybe another way to view the 75% initiated by women is the fact that they benefit financially from the dissolution far more than the man so while I don't know the statistics I think that says a lot about both getting into marriage and initiating leaving.
No matter, relationships are tough and a good one that lasts is great and I believe takes efforts and compromises from both. I hope my daughters and son end up in good ones that last.
I think this is all a bit sad and hypocritical. Plenty of men have unfair standards too, and they often creep into a relationship in the form of unfair division of parenting and household tasks.
I’m tall and I’ve dated men shorter than me and their Problem wasn’t their height. Same with the salary point.
At the end of the day you need to be “the person“ for someone. You need to make them feel seen and feel seen by them. Beyond that you need to contribute something to the relationship that the other struggles to. This could be taking the lion’s share of the day to day work so she can focus on and grow her career so you can both share the life you aspire to.
The reason why many women look for a “provider” is because that is easier than pushing against the grain, striving to become the provider and finding someone who will stand next to us while we do.
I suggest you think about what you are looking for in a woman then think about what you might contribute to the life of that person. If you’re looking for a hot young girl, who isn’t particularly career driven but likes being arm candy… well you’re going to run into some trouble life wise if you’re not earning some serious dollars.
Good luck in finding love.
I’m ugly (like a 2-4). But rich. And check the 6 foot box. Does that mean I have a chance?
Yes P1

Knowledge Support Team at PwC. At least they have some data point on this random gibberish. 😀
What if you used to be 6 foot?
I make $150,000+. Nice dirty innuendo though...lol
No money, no looks, and 5"6" ... what are my chances?
Abysmal
Someone using a work communication platform to blame women for their dating stats could be a huge indicator, but they at would require self reflection and I don't think that's a life skill you exemplify.
I'm a solid 6.5 or 7 with a BA and don't seem to send intelligent, beautiful, self-sufficient potential partners running for the hills.
I’m 6 feet tall, rich, but ugly. If it were that easy, I wouldn’t be on FB.
if u feel ugly hire a psychologist
Seeking for a job so I can meet up
I have money, decent looks, but below 6'. So, what's the aggregate score.
No issues there
How come no-one chased me ?
These have all been debunked as incel rhetoric
Actually- I will stand corrected- I believe that divorce percent is correct. But *WHY* do these women ask for divorce? Because their partner is abusive or doesn’t help with the house/kids
That 80/20 talk is dangerous incel talk. If you think Salary or Height have anything to do with why you're single, that's the first problem you need to solve.
