I think women are more shallow than men. I don't think it's equal. It can't be equal, or there wouldn't be hypergamy. You either believe in hypergamy or you believe in equal shallowness.
Take a girl and a guy, both with 5 looks, and send them both into a bar to find a partner for the night. Which one is more likely to get laid?
My money is on the chick because finding a guy who isn't shallow is easy. As for the guy, we should buy him a drink as a consolation prize before he goes home watch porn lol.
*I'm just talking about looks. Wildcards like money or status are outside the scope of this discussion.
Just because a dude would smash a 5 doesnt mean hes less shallow. Ive known guys who are plenty shallow, but will screw a girl he doesnt find the most attractive just because he wants sex. Doesnt mean she gets him super horny, and it doesnt mean hes gonna stick around.
Id say smashing unattractive chicks for the sake of smashing is as shallow as hypergamy. At the end of the day the shallow guy wont be settling down with that 5 he decided to smash.

Minority here.
I'm 5'9" living in a city where 6' is the norm.
I have posted picture on OKC's rate my face and received 70%.
I have an outgoing, friendly personality, although, I can't imagine the amount of rejections I would get if I was a few inches shorter and a couple points off the attraction scale.
It's a waste when guys who are taller and better looking than me are afraid to approach. Women are waiting for those guys and rejecting guys in their league. Nobody wins.
Anyways, life would suck if I was 5'5" with a 5 face.
Same, Im 5'9, and Ive usually been rated a 6 or 7 depending on the girl. And those rare times an 8. However, as I said in my previous post, once I grew my hair and got a better looking body, I definitely noticed girls being more into me.
So while I do think some chicks in my league will straight up ignore me, I think having my style and fitness on point really keeps me in the game. Taller guys and better looking guys can get away with not looking their best all the time. And I agree with the last thing you said. Id hate dating if I was shorter than I am now or less facially aesthetic.
I feel for people who got that raw deal.
