The same random DNA lottery applies to women. I think the difference is the normalization of cruelty and inefficiencies in the dating market. I think a lot of women end up deeply unhappy but by the time they’re that age they’re largely ignored.


It applies way harder and more cruelly to women as far as dating goes.

A physically unattractive man with a good personality + social skills can do very well with women. Same cannot really be said of a physically unattractive woman.


Certainly, I begrudge the normalization of cruelty for short men and unattractive women. It’s not the first time people have been cruel, it certainly won’t be the last. In my social circles those exhibiting such cruelty would be quickly ostracized. Similarly if someone was racist. For that reason it’s not something I’ve had to face but I believe people when they tell me their experiences with it.


For sure. I was thinking of human beings (all life forms maybe), not just men.
