I think the poster above you seems to have factors related to their appeal that they aren't considering and thus are improperly generalizing their experience.

I think the poster above you seems to have factors related to their appeal that they aren't considering and thus are improperly generalizing their experience. E.g. they have finely tuned tinder game. That doesn't in any way support the idea that women are only attracted to a small subset of men. That's an idea taken literally from the incel crowd.

Well, to be fair, that’s not exactly what I was saying. Despite replying to that poster, I was half echoing Scott Galloway’s comment that on dating apps the top 20% of attractive men get 60% of the interest. I didn’t check his sources, but it doesn’t seem like an unrealistic assertion to me, or a belief that only someone with a twisted world view might have, as you seem to be implying.
