Look, I'm all about self improvement but when below average women want the top 0.5% of men, it's time for society to start viewing the situation from the opposite lens. It's not men that need to improve themselves any more, it's women who need to set realistic expectations.
We as a society seemed to recognize that men had unrealistic standards for women and we told men to stop having them. Women don't need to be feminine, women don't need to a healthy weight, women don't need to want to have sex all the time and it's fine for women to wear pants, sweatshirts, get face tattoos and piercings everywhere.
Okay, great. Now it's time to tell women to lower their expectations. Men don't need to be 6' tall 5'4" guys are fine. Men don't need to earn $100k/yr. $20k/yr is fine. Men don't need need to be fit, fat men and skinny men are fine. Men don't need to be romantic or caring about a woman's emotions, men can be blunt, harsh and inconsiderate. Men don't need to not want sex all the time. It's okay for men to want sex all the time.
Women need to be taught to lower their standards. Women have unrealistic standards.

Close but not quite. Women need realistic expectations enforced on them. They're never going to arrive at the realization that they need to shape up. They're physically incapable of it. Instead we need at the very least a restoration of social pressures applied to them.
"Hey you're fat and ugly and you'll die alone and unloved and that makes you a horrible person."
You are very right. I am well aware that women must have things forced upon them. I just hesitate to speak the truth about women on KIA2 because that's a quick way to get banned.
Shaming is only one tactic but it's not the most effective. Short of literal physical force, the most effective form of compulsion is financial leverage. One of the main causes for the relationship issues we're seeing today is the social push to make women 50/50 with men in earning power. This removed the financial leverage men used to have over women to force women into having realistic standards because women were forced to sacrifice their unrealistic standards to settle for money. Now, women have money and unrealistic standards and unironically, women have never been more unhappy.
Now, an egalitarian might suggest it's unfair to stop a woman from earning income if she deserves it based on the quality of her labor. Even if that were true, the problem in modernity is that our society unfairly gives too many resources to women despite her inferiority by taking from men and giving to women in order to promote a false ideal of equality. If we simply allocated resources truly based on nothing but merit, men would have significantly more resources than women and men would have a natural position of financial leverage over women to correct for many of the relationship problems that exist today. Abolish child support, abolish alimony, make resource distribution in separations default to what you bring in you get out, no 50/50. Then remove all social programs in society, cut taxes down to the bare minimum to support a defensive military and that's it. Allow for discrimination based on sex/gender (remove any human right suggesting this isn't allowed). Under such a system, women would be forced to reduce their expectations with men because women would be desperate for resources from men because under such a system men would have significantly more resources than women. The only reason women have so many resources isn't because women earn them, it's because the government takes them from men to give to women and this inequity is one of the major reasons why things are so bad today.

Child support is one of the biggest travesties of the modern era. On paper, it sounds like a good idea. Children should not be made to suffer because of the actions of their parents. The problem however, is that we don't live on paper, we live in the real world. In the real world, child support checks are made out to the mother, not the child. The money is not given the slightest bit of oversight in how it is spent, and as long as the child isn't a starving malnourished vegetable, the state doesn't care. The amount of money is also technically unlimited because it depends on the other spouse's salary, which is almost always a man.
This amount almost never goes down, but can easily go up should the mother want it to. See the case of Dave Foley, who lost his TV gig as a comedian. Because his child support payments were calculated around the salary he was commanding as a TV presenter, he was paying something like $10k Canadian per month. This was not sustainable for him, obviously, and he went to court multiple times to attempt to lower it, being unsuccessful in his attempt, and racking up lawyer fees. It got so bad that he had to flee Canada to the United States because he would have been locked up in prison for failure to pay child support, the modern debtors prison. His ex wife had moved and taken the children somewhere he could not find them, and he hasn't seen them since.
The amount of men who have killed themselves because they become indentured servants to their ex wives is too damn high, and it's solely because they are men that nobody gives a shit. If women were subject to even half the treatment that men are in the court system it would be considered a nationwide crisis.

Are there statistics on that? This is not a gotcha.
