Of course they do. Females are hypergamous. Through no fault of their own they have been genetically programmed by evolution to desire the highest status males. Studies have shown that women rank 80% of the men on dating sites as "below average".

It is understandable why people would downvote an emotionally sensitive issue like this, but suppressing the truth is not a good long term strategy.

You do know that this is not a good reason to declare most males to be beyond hope, I assume? Status signals and impressions are highly pliable. And the more self-aware "females" (...Why not just say 'women', I wonder?) are about what drives their attraction from that POV, the more you can actively play with and subvert that dynamic. It's loads of fun, actually!

Yes. There is an entire industry devoted to teaching men how to trick women into having sex with them.

If you just want to gratify yourself, there is plenty of opportunity.

I don’t think that any of that will change the 50% rate of extermination of men.
