Episode 2151:
Evan Marc Katz dives into the contentious topic of dating market value and attraction, illuminating the harsh realities and data-driven insights about gender perceptions and preferences in dating. By exploring the application of the Gini coefficient to the dating "economy," Katz reveals a staggering inequality in attraction, offering a thought-provoking perspective on the challenges faced by singles today. His analysis not only sheds light on why many women find a majority of men unattractive but also delves into the societal and psychological underpinnings of dating dynamics, providing invaluable insights for those navigating the complex world of relationships.
Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.evanmarckatz.com/blog/online-dating-tips-advice/why-there-are-no-attractive-men-in-your-area
Quotes to ponder:
"Men find 20-year-old women most attractive. Women think 80% of men are unattractive."
"The Gini coefficient is a number between zero and one that represents the degree of income inequality in any given nation or group."
"There are no villains in this story. Nobody can or should be blamed for his or her honest preferences, and if women collectively believe that most men are unattractive, what grounds does anyone, male or female, have to argue with them?"
