This is also an oversimplification. The problem is that the movie and ad industries strongly reinforce and popularize and some standards.
And export them to the whole world.
> How does the media suggest that women will automatically find men attractive? My experience says otherwise. You have to be fit, have success in life, have money, have a beautiful smile, which is NOT what incels are.
I agree and this is also part of the problem. Pushing some arbitrary standards onto men is also harmful.
Unsurprisingly, a lot of people feel they insecure about themselves and angry about society.
Sometimes this insecurity and anger fuels the sale of cosmetics, gym memberships, clothing and dubious "self-help" books. Sometimes it gets uglier.
> All these "requisites" for a woman to find you attractive can be explained also from a biological point of view.
Please hold on on the strong biological determinism. It's largely refuted by geneticists and anthropologist. Reality is way more complex.
