Men are far more willing to settle for less than ideal. There's a famous study that shows that women judge other women's attractiveness more harshly than men do. The few men who do have those unreasonable expectations generally just don't date.
You touch on this, but I wanted to expand on it. Most men would be happy with someone who's reasonably attractive, isn't a total bitch, and doesn't have kids (this is close to word for word for what a buddy of mine said). The problem is that feminism has made those women very rare, so only the top 20% of men can get them. But men still settle for women who don't meet those standards, and they come to regret it. The reason for the fat/ugly/single mother acceptance movement is because those women still feel entitled to the top 20%. It's not they can't get men, it's that they can't get the men they feel entitled to despite being a 3 or a 4. So they price themselves out of the market and ask where all the good men went after riding the cock carousel for 20 years. The low quality women feminism has created is probably the biggest reason MGTOW is a thing outside the rigged legal/social environment governing gender relations.
If it's the study I'm thinking of, which I believe was Okcupid, and was quite popular a few years ago then you need to look at it more. The one I'm think of was touted as showing men find a wider range of women attractive, women only like the top 20%, or something like that. But, women were more likely to actually try dating men they did not find attractive, while men kept going for the top females. So, there's what they say, and what they do, for both genders. Also, most women are not sleeping around the way the redpill will have you think, about 2-3 partners, average men having a few more. Yeah, I enjoy the laughs on "wherehaveallthegoodmengone", single moms with 3 kids who are done playing games and want the 666. But that is not the norm. More people than ever are virgins, not dating, not having sex,not having kids, etc. Redpill has lots of good data and proof of sex differences, but it also makes things seem more bleak than they really are and also pushes degenerate behaviour like sleeping around. It's not the way, neither is mgtow, though i get why they feel the way they do. People aren't meant to be alone and neither philosophy will ultimately make men happy or healthy, nor save the West. Don't accept Leftist BS, but don't accept any other type either to cope.
