Dating down indeed. I'm a good-looking skinny guy. Yet I've dated some fatties, as well as some super strange broads (sometimes they were a double whammy: Fat and super strange).Most guys in relationships are blue pill, average frustrated chump, beta males.
They got into relationships often on the strength of their social circles or by swiping a lot and dating down (or equal at best).
If they had to swipe to get a relationship, it was a more labor-intensive effort.
Based on looks alone, I should be dating women who are 8 out of 10 on the looks scale. However, being a socially awkward guy with no car, hardly any social circle, an income below 40k, as well as various mental illnesses, I'm lucky to get a 3 out of 10.
