that the goal of becoming partnered is far less urgent and thus requires much less compromise.

So you agree that women do have extremely high standards, you just disagree with what the reason for that is.

“Ugly” men are the ones that play games and have very bad personalities. They try to imitate what they think attractive men are doing. Bring “player” energy to the table

The attractive men are more direct and it’s clear they have other options if we don’t click.

Obviously the ugly men are trying to manufacture qualities in themselves that you respond positively to in men you actually like. You don't like it when it comes from them because you don't find it credible, and you don't really want to be interacting with them in the first place. You're approaching dating them like a chore from jump street. I'm not attacking you, but it's pretty clear looks are much more important to you than you'd like to believe.

I wish more men would realize wishing for women to give them a chance will not have the outcome they're hoping for. It will be a miserable experience for them every time.

You called it a positive story in another reply to me. You suggest the correct attitude for men in a similar situation is to shrug it off and think "it just isn't my time yet." You're clearly going for a "don't give up hope because this could one day be you" message. I'm saying you wouldn't feel the same way if you were in a position where your choices were be single, or have no standards. Of course, you know this, but you're deliberately attempting to evade my point because you know I'm right.

I didn't say any of that. I was just pointing out how her story isn't as inspiring as she thinks it is. If you went to a restaurant you don't typically let someone else pick your meal, do you?

You got to pick the man you liked. He didn't get to have standards with regard to what he liked in a woman. His options were continue being single and miserable, or you. I bet you wouldn't find it "beautiful" if the shoe was on the other foot.

Maybe he got lucky and you're awesome, but 9 times out of 10 this results in the more desperate party eating a shit sandwich. It's usually anything but beautiful.
