I dunno, the 80-20 rule probably has some basis in fact, just as you don't need to be an expert on males and females to know that males are a lot less picky when it comes to sex or attraction.

Not fair? Maybe not, but so what? Crying about it won't change it, nor will it change your position in the sexual hierarchy.

I don’t think it’s implausible, just that it hasn’t really been proven. And even if it is true, it isn’t an excuse for hatred.

I'm not even sure how the 80-20 rule could be proven.

And no, it's not an excuse for anything. If and to the extent it has a basis in fact, it just is.

The level of inbreeding that would exist if the 80-20 rule was real

The diversity would be ensured by women because the ugliest of women would still procreate.

Interesting point, but this assumes that women (or men) get what they want.

Mostly. AFAICT, humans have to settle. This is why they are not cats, for instance.

Women don’t have to settle when it comes to short term sexual relationships. Th ugliest of women can get laid with decent looking fit young men

It can be proven by doing large scale surveys and experiments.

Why aren’t social psychologists taking this up more seriously I wonder

It becomes an excuse for hatred if men are constantly gaslighted and told their character prevents them from getting laid.

I believe this 'rule' only applies to online dating and was the basis of some kind of research done by one of these dating sites - I can't remember which one. It's obviously false for the real world as a whole.

When it comes to the 80/20 rule, I find it fascinating that people who believe it (something that hasn't actually been proven btw) generally aren't discussing it as an issue caused by men. It's always women are evolving and want more etc. Maybe it isn't the fact that more is expected of men and that's unfair but more so that women realise they deserve more. They deserve more than what has been historically offered to them. They don't have to settle for someone who isn't aware of how their gender affects their life or someone who has a more traditional or uninformed view of "what a women is meant to do/be". And I wonder if 80% of women are attracted to 20% of men what is the supposed stat for men? Are men less picky because they're attracted to all women, or anyone who will go out with them? Or are they less picky because they don't have to think about what a women's views on men are? They don't have to worry that their girlfriend believes that men are inferior to them or even just subconsciously carry that belief through how they engage with others and the world around them. Food for thought.

Just watched the Adolescence show. Men have hated women for decades- Hell the Bible even blames Eve for man’s sins. Women are evolving & want more in life & more out of their men. So I am betting that the 80/20 rule is probably spot on.
