If you were awkward or bad at it, that means you weren't a natural. Which betrays that you weren't the top 20% (or lower) excellent genes that women want to breed with on that instinctual level. They want those lower 80% to not even be allowed to approach them, let alone speak. God forbid they ask them out, because then it means they think the girl is so low on the scale that they had a chance.
Its always been this way, they are just ramping up the consequences more and more by the year. We are already partway to being an incel being actually illegal somehow, with the definition of it far beyond actual involuntary celibacy and well into just being "not attractive." Which is what all of this is building towards.
Where does this meme come from? I've known plenty of men who are not smooth, and yet have top-tier genetics, at least when it comes to intelligence (and earning potential).
The meme? /r9k/ The ratio? Pareto Distribution, which applies to almost anything.
Probably statistics published from dating sites. I think it was OkCupid that said women rate >80% of men as below average attractiveness ergo only chads in top <20% of attractiveness are matching with these women. These 20% of men thus have the pick of the crop and often treat women disposably since they have easy access to pussy. Women then think all men are trash from their experience of dating the same 20% of men who don't need or value a 5 or 6 out of 10.
Maybe 80% of men on OkCupid are below the average of men? Wouldn't surprise me.
People disagree about who the "top 20%" are. Unless a guy is really good-looking or really terrible-looking, that is going to be applicable. And "top 20%" is not exactly "Chad". If you go walk the streets, are 1 out of 5 men you see "Chads"?
I don't think anyone wants a 5 out of a 10.
Well, you got your answer. Whether or not that reflects reality; I don't care either way.
Yeah, that is what has me confused. What metric should one use for "top 20%"? If that is even a thing, which I'm pretty sure it's not, because... well, just look outside.
Women go for top 20% looks/height.
Earnings potential and intelligence are what they go for when they're looking for a mark.
There are more virgins in MIT than in juvenile detention centers.
To this point I've assumed that when people refer to "top 20 percent" they're being facetious-- not referring to any real measure of quality, just referring to what women see as the top 20 percent. Which is basically just the dudes who are hot and charismatic and have money.
If people actually believe there's some kind of linear natural scale of men, with hot and smart at the top, and ugly and stupid at the bottom, then that's retarded. Genetics arent that clean-cut or easy to understand.
As the other guy said, the Pareto Distribution. In this case I picked it because its a well known number for the discussion overall, but I think its actually quite a bit lower. Simply because of how few guys are really that much of a "natural" at such a things from birth, the majority of whom are likely quite mentally ill or dangerous resulting in such confidence instead of some perfect genes.
