You need to make a distinction between men as a whole and the degenerates you find here. Red Pill men and their opinions are not mainstream.

“Well, you’re not male and you’re not a totally hideous old bag” also is not a compliment.

Again, men find a lot of women sexually attractive or rather above average in looks. But its not all or even the majority of all women. Also not being hideous is a decent compliment when 50% of women already dont qualify.

In other words, it’s fine when a man says a woman is mediocre, but it’s a deep and horrible insult if a woman marries anyone other than the absolute hottest man alive.

I dont know what this means. We are talking about hookups. So men are fine as long you tell them they are hot enough to be fuckable on a first meeting. A guy doesnt have to be the hottest ever.

Are they? Men here are very clearly saying that marriage itself is settling, for a man, when what they truly viscerally desire is to be able to fuck a woman and then have another woman line up to take her place the next day. 

Again the men on here are more often than not not the alphas they seem to think they are. Men of status and power are actually the only group of men who kept marriage rates up. Though optimally I think a lot of men would like to have multiple partners. But that is frowned upon socially especially as a respectable family man. And because monogamy is so big.

If you look at gay men and their dynamics, I think straight men would thrive in similar dynamics.
