That is quite an apt analogy, Sir.
Yeah, I thought about this. Maybe everyone ended up with a slightly less attractive woman because the apps tend to make all girls look great, even if theyāre not, but by that point the conversations they have are more meaningful than they normally would be with a girl more inline with what theyāre normally attracted to, physically. Follow what Iām saying? Iām foggy today, sorry.
And I also donāt agree that most guys get over liking hot girls around 21-25 comment. I donāt think it ever goes away. You settle, but it doesnāt go away.
I agree looks arenāt everything.

By not producing offspring?
Yeah. Just seems like some sorta natural selection/eugenics slam dunk.

I missed him. Which circle was he in?
Pride seems about right.
My point with this is around these times most guys have been in multiple relationships and have started to realize they would rather spend the rest of their life with an 8 that makes them laugh, is intelligent, seems like she would be a good mother (if wanting to have kids eventually), etc than a 10 who has none of that going on.
When I was younger I only cared about looks. I wanted to date people that would make everyone else jealous. As I got older I got over that. Obviously you still need physical attraction but as one matures they realize itās simply a piece of everything. I got lucky with mine in terms of looks and the other things I mentioned. However as I got older I dated girls who werenāt as hot as some of the ones I did right off the bat but these women were way better to be around and share day to day life.
haha this honestly got a good chuckle out of me. Who wouldnāt be happy with an 8? Iām not sure about the trustworthiness of your reference model but I can assure you most guys in this country do not āsettleā for 8s, theyāre blessed with 8s.
Most of the guys I know ended up with 7s or below. One buddy of mine that ended up with an 8-9, which everyone found it to be a shock because he was a carpenter, but then again heās tall and hilarious and sheās a hermit that doesnāt care to do much, doesnāt work, never went to school, sheās not dumb, she just never wanted āmoreā out of life and so was content with the simple things. Again, he was a lucky man.
Note: Iām only speaking in physical terms. Personality can obviously change what a person looks like to you and so forth. Iām also leaving out the guys that only now ended up getting married to much younger girls, as younger mates tend to look much better to older guys than if they were the same age.

He was lucky because he married a person who, if she were a man, would be considered a loser? A lazy dimwit with no ambition or passion, sounds real lucky to me.
Are you implying housewives are losers?

Did you skip the part where she doesnāt like to work and doesnāt do much? Or are you implying housewives donāt work?
Yes, because he didnāt say what she doesnāt want to do and many employees donāt like working.
The state of this thread, blimey.

But they still work.
Iāve seen plenty of tradesmen with attractive women.
If they make money, sure because they are still fit, somewhat gritty guys that women like. But if theyāre broke working underneath someone? very tough to see that.
yeah, heās lucky. Sheās funny, hot, and isnāt fucking annoying. She is a housewife, she does things around the house and takes care of what is needed. She just didnāt have a passion outside of being that. Very chill person.

My point was in reference to your post that said your friends who met girls on dating apps were all with people who were āworseā than they dated before. Regardless that isnāt an argument that dating apps have made things harder.
Some people are just not going to find someone for a variety of reasons. A lot of the time its unrealistic expectations. Still itās the easiest time ever to find a significant other.
