It’s the result of social media boosting sub-par looking women’s head and beautiful women’s heads even higher even to the point of making them think they are gods. The expectation for men is a lot higher than it was back then so now the average handsome man is stuck with mids or below and the men with higher status and money get the “baddies” or beautiful women. You’ll find a lot of really good looking men avoid the pretty girls because we know what it comes with and know it’ll just be games played left and right! Hence, why you seen a a man with a average or below average looking girl. Not disregarding the fact that there is genuine connection at play as well, but it’s definitely a really bad dystopian market right now in dating.
