The High Value Male Myth: the big lie men are being told about dating

Ah, I see you’re not a 6ft 4 billionaire? No chance, mate, I’m hot

Here’s the thing, lads: women don’t carefully roll out their data grid, click their biro, and mark your height, income, and appearance on a graph, before establishing whether you have enough points to continue the initial appraisal. I don’t sit there calculating whether you fall into the 12th percentile, or the 15th percentile. I don’t bring my ruler to work out the angle of your cheekbones in relation to your jawline. That’s not how love works. That’s not how any of this works.

Actually, an awful lot of women would not answer the way you’d expect here

According to red pill boys, only 10% of men get to date or marry women. Which, in reality, would mean 90% of men were dying untouched, unkissed, virgin bachelors. They also believe no men under 6ft are acceptable to women: an alarming fact if true, given that only 14% of men are that height. This is obviously, to anyone who lives in a society, bullshit.
