Recent Study Confirms: Women Do Have Unrealistic Expectations

[bigneil]

Do women really want a muscular millionaire with a Mercedes, as Judge Nismo suggests?

Indeed, when we use science to quantify just how rare the men women claim to be seeking are, we find some peculiar numbers.

To summarize, she wants the best guy out of 40 - for three statistics. That means that unless you are the best guy out of 64,000 (40 to the power of 3, or the 99.998 percentile), you will fall short of her expectations. Isn't TV great?

I've often wondered how it is that I can be in the top 1% of income and the top 1% of height (meaning only 1 in 10,000 men is as tall AND earns as much), and I'm often struggling as much as the next guy. This explains why. They still imagine a guy 6.4 times as rare as me. I'm only in the 99.99 percentile, they want 99.998.

Why men avoid relationships.... gee I can sum that up pretty quick.

The longer you are with a women, the more she expects you to do for her... stay in that situation long enough, and you find that your ENTIRE life has been sacrificed to her needs and wants, and you are expected to just accept the fact that everything you want takes a back seat.

On one hand, at age 45 I must admit I had my share of disappointments. On the other hand, there isn't one girl I dated, and I dated about 100 women, that I look back and wish I married.

Some men imagine that the girl from 10 years ago, had they married her then, would somehow still be as hot as she was then, but that's not true. She would be old and fat by now, and chances are she was never a kind, nurturing, loving person to begin with, but a hang out, hook up bar fly.

This is retarded. Humans have unrealistic expectations, not just women. Humans are also very good at making one-sided assertions, especially if it puts their own group in a good light. Completely ignoring they're no better themselves.

all world views are self views. What I mean is fvck whatever anyone is saying or believing, live for yourself, be a selfish motherfvcker and whoever want to join the ride with for awhile then cool and when they leave then cool, live in the present moment, plan for your future by using your own critical thinking.

by doing all the above you will see a different reality and you won't give two fvcks about all this sexual market crap anyway. Living in the present moment and doing whatever you feel like is the secret to happiness or whatever because then you won't think twice about all what women think they want and lets face it anyone who has experiences with many women know that women are only know how to nag and they have no fvcking idea what they want.

What they want is just borrowed from the media, magazines, their friends..etc. Sit with a girl and ask her existential questions and deep questions about desires, life, world views or whatever and you will see how all them don't think for themselves, actually not just women but most men and people in general. Women are just programmed differently so judge by experience and not by consumed materials and views.

Wrong. I am a man and I know what exactly I do, what exactly I speak, and what exactly I want.

Maybe, I am an exception, according to your statement.

Directly and Indirectly I guess we always expect something,, but honestly the moment we have expectations in any endeavor the battle is already half way lost, Im more of a believer that you should go for what you want relentlessly with trial and error.
