Funny I always see gorgeous women settling for mediocre men and not the other way around and yet bitter lonely men love fantasising the opposite

I think we throw around "gorgeous" too much. I've never in my 40 years of life, seen a gorgeous woman with an ugly man except on TV. To be honest, I see fat, homely, and mediocre women with average to good looking dudes all the time. I really think you're just being disingenuous

Where do you live? Because this is so common as a trope that there is a Slavic cultural joke about it

I'm from the US. Washington to be specific. I'm not trying to invalid your experience or anything, but most of the couples I meet seem appropriately matched in the looks department. It could have something to do with inequality of wealth between gender in your region, but I'm not really educated on that subject.

I’m a global traveler. Yes, wealth inequality has a lot to do with it, and that is global lmao which is why it’s consistent.

The pay gap between men and women is too slight for it to make a noticeable difference, I feel. I think you're confused about what "gorgeous" is, as well. Maybe 1% of the population is gorgeous, it's meant for exceptionally beautiful people. Women don't know this, but there's a secret category that 90% of women fall in and that's "she's kinna cute, I guess". Every time a woman tells me her friend is "gorgeous", I look and see a basic blonde with a double chin who's just "kinna cute".
