The above poster is correct, society is what started these problems. It won't get any better now, it is ingrained. Nobody cares anymore, that's the fact.
Make it with an 8 now? Doubt it....girls (I refuse to refer to them as "women") always know their sexual market value. They prop each other up. Digging gold with their similar friends is now their mission.
These girls have made themselves pump and dump material because they chose the bad boy first. Or, maybe they themselves are the bad girl...nobody thinks about that. If a man is not 6'4", a "10" and makes a six-figure income, he is a piece of ****.
The consequences are not just from the strong arm of the state, they are the result of fifty years of Feminism. They create their own problems, and over the years have cunningly found ways to blame men. Which robs the normal, good man of his dignity and his life ambition which results in a pump-and-dump necessity if a man is to enjoy sex, instead of in a marriage. I raised two boys whose father taught them at an early age that I am terrible...think about the man in the movie "Home Alone"...yes that's what living through their youth was like for me (but not quite that extreme...). Between them and my now ex-wife's "grrfriends", who chastised me because I was "low value", I had a stroke at 44yo.
I am a good looking 5'6 guy. she is 5'1. They convinced her she should be with a guy at least 5'10. This is a big ****ing deal nowadays to sluers like them. Never mind that one of them had no visible chest and another was overweight and past her prime. I wasn't perfect and I had to go. You can imagine how I feel about them, they are lucky I am not crazy. I have custody of my 16yo daughter, had to move in with my parents in order to pull that off in my State. I will never marry again, from now on "girls" are disposable toys.
