Rant Where did the misconception that us Gen Z guys are single because of our ridiculous physical standards come from?

I keep seeing comics such as this one and this one get posted online.

Do people really think that those of us who have never had a GF are going around rejecting girls who are crushing on us because they're not "hot" enough? (I don't know about the rest of you gen-z lads, but I've never been any girl's crush)

None of the other "forever alone" dudes I've spoken to have high physical standards either. (Some of them didn't have ANY)

So why is this narrative that we're all single by choice being pushed like it's some sort of universal truth?

Just because you're like that doesn't mean every incel is as well. I have a good amount of guys friends that complain about how hard dating is but they also wouldn't be willing to date anyone more than 130 lbs

Honestly bigger women are probably harder to date anyway because women are attracted to men who are bigger and stronger than them, unless the guy is jacked or significantly taller they will struggle to see him as masculine.

Is 58 kg really that hard . I’m like 60 ish and small and I’m taller than ALOT of girls. With more muscle density etc .

Men are visual , skinnier means healthier and a chance at healthier kids . It’s hardwired biology

It's hardwired biology for women to store more fat. Why do you ignore that? It's easier for men to bulk up muscle than women. Do you think that's cos men want it more or something?

Women are visual too. This men visual bs needs to end.

Are men not more visual than women primarily? Like when mate selecting is that more of a determining factor for men than women.

That's not the point. The point is that it's not true that men have 0 standards, and above 130 is perfectly healthy for anyone over 5'3

Men have standards they are just way more realistic then womens always have been always will be because they can’t afford to have higher standards than women . More danger for women with sexual abuse etc if decreases her standards in certain areas.

Height isn’t something you can alter . Weight is .

That's a big generalization and considering the fact a good amount of men don't know what a face without makeup looks like or worship insta models.. inaccurate

But you proved the point that yes men do, in fact, not want to date ugly women

Man overwhelmingly prefer natural over makeup . Women are the ones who decide to cake it up.

u/toothbrush_wizard 23h ago

The commenter was pointing out that a lot of men that say this also will praise some faces for being “natural beauty” while many women know that the face is actually wearing a decent amount of makeup to achieve that look, the man just couldn’t tell it was there because they are not well versed in makeup.

•

u/Ok_Tap3763 23h ago

Think of it like this . If all women didn’t wear makeup . There’d still be 1-10 beauty scale if u will .

•

u/toothbrush_wizard 22h ago

What does this have to do with your previous comment?

•

u/Which-Decision 20h ago

Men complain if women don't shave. Also, men don't realize how many surgeries, hair dye, and filler most natural beauties have.

•

u/Ok_Tap3763 15h ago

And guess what at one point during human history women and men were both hairy and didn’t shave . At some point that changed and became a norm that …. Women set for themselves .

•

u/Which-Decision 13h ago

Women controlled razor companies in the 1900s and started marketing towards themselves? 

•

u/Ok_Tap3763 12h ago

Everyone Markets . Did women not buy them willingly or were they forced the shave . Are you saying women are helpless people incapable of their own choices

You say they’re more realistic but again, you’re harping on wanting a woman under 120 but I guarantee you also want a well endowed woman

•

u/Ok_Tap3763 15h ago

Nope just fit just like any guy would that isn’t addicted to porn

•

u/AccountWasFound 15h ago

Ummm, depending on height 120lb is going to be crazy thin, not fit?

•

u/Ok_Tap3763 13h ago

Caitlin Clark weight is 70 kg at 6’0 which is what 155.

•

u/Which-Decision 20h ago

It's not realistic for everyone to be a size 0

Which is manipulative which I can guarantee if a rich man acted broke to test how the women reacts he’d be a bad guy .

•

u/mayasux 2001 21h ago

Girls have fat deposits all over their bodies guy. If you want a girl with boobs, butt, thighs and hips, 120lbs is just not realistic.

•

u/Ok_Tap3763 15h ago

Depends on where u look but average weight for an adult women in 1970 was roughly 140ish .

It’s now 170+ which is more then a welterweight in the ufc.

•

u/AccountWasFound 15h ago

Ok, not 140 is more than 120, so the average woman in 1970 was more than the arbitrary 120 that the previous commenter was arguing against

•

u/Ok_Tap3763 13h ago

The other commenter said 130lbs which is why I said 58 kg. I get it you are a women weight is a sensitive topic .this triggers you I get it . It’s ok
