Inconvenient truths about each gender in modern society
Truth about women: A lot of women (especially attractive ones, in my experience) would prefer to stay single vs lowering their standards. For men, lowering your standards can objectively increase your quality of life if it leads to a lot more sex. However if you're an attractive woman, sex is just a given. They can get it anytime whether you're single or attached.
I see many complaints around why some women have such high standards. But it seems like women cannot abide being with someone they consider beneath them, it's just fundamentally difficult for them to accept that condition.
Truth about men: Men can and should actively seek out women from non-Western cultures. Any society with relatively gender equality and weak social norms will eventually reach a state where 50-80% of men are essentially commodified, meaning they're essentially part of a mass "discount" market for women who aren't able to attract top tier men but value a long-term, stable partner.
The easy and obvious way for men to break out of that category is to look for women from societies where men and family values are more highly valued. The downside to this behavior is that some women in Western societies will have fewer choices, but as mentioned above they're arguably just as happy alone vs being with a mediocre man.
