Just to be clear I completely agree on your broad point about balancing mechanisms for men. A lot of great men were "losers" at some time in their lives.
My point is to add that there are, or were, many different win conditions, and this applies to dating too. You can be Casanova scoring multiple 9s or a schlubby dude that marries a nice mid girl and both of those are "winners." The schlub isn't necessarily a "loser" at any point and historically, many of them weren't. Only in the social media landscape, when he's pitted against Fabio, is he a loser.
I don't disagree with anything here. But, I think it was just as big an issue throughout history that "hot guy came through town, banged a bunch of wives" that made those men "losers" just as they would now. Heck, many famous pieces of writing and characters were just that as a concept.
The only difference now is that they don't need to wait for Fabio to maybe come through town, there are 15 Fabios standing in front of her (on the screen).
