As a man with principles and high standards; can confirm. It sucks.

I’ve seen women marrying uglier men. Lots of them.
It’s rare. Women as the limiting sex creates probabilistic biological outcomes.
This is all highly subjective, so don’t mind if I just shit post the hell out of it.
Women marry wealthy men.
You can find “studies” that say anything. Literally 99.9% are just made up nonsense.
The limiting sex outcomes are well-understood biological realities and not based on fake internet psychology “studies”.
Probably depends upon how old they are, when they marry. I married rather young, and the options get thinner every year.
I've only ever dated guys who outclassed me by a mile. Idiosyncrasy of high-IQ dating, methinks, but always unnerving.
9 guys with an IQ > 150 competing for the only chick with an IQ > 130, as women much dumber than that might as well be blow-up dolls, to them.
