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> | Looks, unlike features like height, are not distributed normally among the male population.

Physical attractiveness is in someway innate and widely agreed upon. Infants prefer attractive faces over nonattractive ones. <ref>https://www.newscientist.com/article/dn6355-babies-prefer-to-gaze-upon-beautiful-faces</ref>. Young children also make value judgements based on facial features. <ref>http://www.apa.org/pubs/journals/releases/dev-dev0000734.pdf</ref>. Attractive features are widely agree'd upon <ref>https://www.springer.com/us/book/9783319178660</ref>. The ratings given for an individual are never too far apart <ref>https://labs.la.utexas.edu/langloislab/files/2015/04/meta.pdf</ref>. Even among widely different cultures, universal standards for beauty exist <ref>https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3130383/</ref> | |||

One particular UCLA study states that, “a great deal of the evidence indicates two overlapping suites of psychological adaptations in women: those for securing [[long-term relationship|long-term]] , cooperative social partnerships for rearing children and those for pursuing a [[strategic pluralism|dual-mating strategy]] in which women secure a social partner and engage in selective sexual affairs to gain access to good genes for offspring”<ref>http://pillse.bol.ucla.edu/Publications/Pillsworth&Haselton_ARSR.pdf</ref>. | One particular UCLA study states that, “a great deal of the evidence indicates two overlapping suites of psychological adaptations in women: those for securing [[long-term relationship|long-term]] , cooperative social partnerships for rearing children and those for pursuing a [[strategic pluralism|dual-mating strategy]] in which women secure a social partner and engage in selective sexual affairs to gain access to good genes for offspring”<ref>http://pillse.bol.ucla.edu/Publications/Pillsworth&Haselton_ARSR.pdf</ref>. | ||
