One thing women absolutely do not want are men who make sweeping generalizations about all women, based on no evidence or compelling arguments.

And women out of hand rejecting more than 95% of all males sends what message exactly? That’s not a sweeping generalisation of men?

It could be that women don't want the "top 5%", but rather are seeking men who are simply acceptable, who don't exude misogynistic tendencies, who bother to groom themselves, who treat others with respect. A tall order, considering most men are trash, including the good-looking ones.

I strongly agree. Some might call the comment sexist, and inherently it is so, but that misses the point.

The point is we live in a society that is male dominated (sexist) and it has unpleasant effects on socialization which leaves many "normal" men to be problematic (or as you put it, "trash").

What about other women?
