Women place a minimum threshold of attractiveness on potential mates.<ref>https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s40806-017-0092-x</ref>. Women also lie about the degree of importance of physical attractiveness. <ref>https://www.livescience.com/58607-mens-looks-may-matter-more-than-personality.html</ref>. One could begin to bargain that while looks matter, other factors matter too. One's full attractiveness could be seen as a composite score of their attractive features.

==Looks are not distributed evenly among men== | |||
Looks, unlike features like height, are not distributed normally among the male population. One could imagine that that looks would be distributed in a naively simple way. Most are average. Some are attractive or ugly. Very few or grotesque or beautiful. The reality is that male looks are distributed according to a pareto distribution. 80% of men were rated below average <ref>http://archive.is/rSfFA</ref>. Because of this, a large portion of men fight over a small portion of women <ref>https://medium.com/@worstonlinedater/tinder-experiments-ii-guys-unless-you-are-really-hot-you-are-probably-better-off-not-wasting-your-2ddf370a6e9a</ref>. The bottom 80% of men are fighting over the bottom 22% of women and the top 78% of women are fighting over the top 20% of men. If likes can be likened to money, then a small portion of men own a large portion of the tinder economy. The GINI coefficient (A measurement of inequality normally used to measure wealth inequality) Places the Tinder GINI coefficient at 0.58. This means that Tinder is more unequal than 95% of countries today. <ref>https://medium.com/@worstonlinedater/tinder-experiments-ii-guys-unless-you-are-really-hot-you-are-probably-better-off-not-wasting-your-2ddf370a6e9a</ref> | |||
