varidogHere's the assertion: 80% of Women Go for 10% of Men.
I have my doubts about this, but hey, let's talk about as if it's real.
If true, this means that every each top value man has eight concurrent women at a time, on average.
Maybe I'm taking this too literally. 80% of the women are competing for 10% of the men. That's fair. It's also fair that 80% of the men are competing for 10% of the women.
In the meantime, since most men and women can't juggle that many people, there's a pool of people who are open to good-enough offers.
Now, let's ask ourselves, how do we measure value and determine who the 10% actually are?
It's fair to say that the romance industry has worked hard to define what that 10% look like, along with the film industry, and along with the advertising industry. Lots of groups are busy attempting to define the perfect man. Who can keep track of all that?
With those groups overlapping, but none of them being quite the same, there are multiple pools of the top 10% of men, and for that matter, multiple pools of the top 10% of women.
Is this complicated enough yet?
Women go for a number of traits, including wealth, looks, social standing, and personality. Each of those is a competitive area where people are always moving both in and out, depending on their availability. This means that there's always opportunity.
There are two ways of approaching these categories: being at the top, and not being at the bottom.
Being at the bottom of a category is a problem, so do your best to not be at the bottom. The payoff here is fairly substantial, because even if you don't pickup somebody for your efforts, you still have more money, more opportunities, and more community. That's all a win. So, do this first, because this is achievable.
Looks isn't just about muscles, it's about hair, style, clothing, and fashionability. Wealth isn't just what you have, but what you're aspiring to. Social standing is always open to everyone, so do what you can to regularly win the respect and fondness of those around you. As for personality, practice chatting with everyone that you know, learn basic conversation tricks, and ask questions of the other person.
How to become part of the top 10%? That's harder, because many people are working hard to get there, but recall, there's a pool of women out there willing to settle for extremely good, because how many women really want to date a guy who's dating eight other women? Getting cheated on sucks.
The dating world is like sports. You don't just walk in and win a championship. You identify what you can do, practice everything that you can, and date whoever and wherever you can. You don't know when opportunity will show up.
As for the original proposition, it doesn't matter. Just don't be on the bottom and you immensely increase your potential matches.
