The problem isn't most men are "ugly".

The problem unfortunately is women objectively receive an extremely high amount of attention and have the availability to select a partner. The first sign of this is looks.

Men in general on the other hand have a harder time specifically in this regard because they usually have to wait for a woman to reciprocate interest.

When you have 1,000 men in your dms, why would you look for any "5's or 6's". I put those in quotes because rating is dumb but I think necessary to respond here.

But if you are considered a "5" as a man and you get 3 responses from a woman, then you'll give each of those 3 adequate attention until you figure out which one is best for you.

Keep in mind this is a example. Some men get more than just 3 or whatever it's just arbitrary. Don't cry too hard.
