A analysis of online dating reveals than the vast majority of women who rate men only consider about 20% of them to be actually attractive in looks. In the most popular dating app of tinder, people have found out that “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" [1].

Obviously, a common [[normie]] counterargument would be that women aren’t as visual in real life as in the app, and that you can display a bit of personality when approaching a woman. Other studies, however, stress on the notion called the “halo effect,” in which your perceived personality could be in correlation to how you look. [2]

For example men are commonly told to be funny to attract women, but in reality being attractive makes you appear funnier in everything you say [3] and judged less harshly/not seen as creepy in weird situations [4].  

Even in real life, you have to surpass a certain looks level for a woman to even desire you intimately. There has to be physical attraction at first for a relationship to be initiated. While women say that personality matters more than looks, their decision indicates that they value looks first [5].  

A study which analyzed GINI coefficients in human relationships found that, “single men have a higher Gini coefficient (.536) than single women (.470). Thus, female sexual partners are more unequally distributed among single men than male sexual partners are among single women” [6].

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, cooperative social partnerships for rearing children and those for pursuing a dual-mating strategy in which women secure a social partner and engage in selective sexual affairs to gain access to good genes for offspring” [7].

 

“Women whose mate value increases substantially will become (1) more emotionally dissatisfied with their current partner, (2) more likely to evade a partner's mate guarding efforts, (3) more likely to cultivate backup mates, (4) more likely to initiate new relationships with higher mate value men, and (5) less inclined to stay with their current partners” [8].

Another study showed that women orgasm more frequently when having sex with attractive guys than with non attractive guys [9]. This shows that women are very likely to keep pursuing Chads for maximum sexual pleasure.

A study that analyzed changes in the distribution of sex partners from 2002 to 2011-2013 showed that compared to 2002, top 20% of men (in terms of [[LMS]]) now had a 25% increase in sexual partners, and the top 5% of men had an outstanding 38% increase in the number of sexual partners. The study commented that “no significant changes were identified among women in the top 20% and top 5%, overall, and among subgroups” [10].
