What your basically arguing is that there is a small group of alphas who sleep with a lot of women. Women who mainly sleep with Alphas outside of relationships, and male betas who don't have much sex.

What this ignores is most sex happens in relationships so dwarfs on a copulation basis it's probably not significant.
Personally I always found that there was little to no sex in relationships and none at all in marriage.

Dude can not catch a break

Quote:
As if the convenience of dating on a smartphone wasn't enough, a California man has developed a program to help him automatically ask thousands of women out on dates through the matchmaking site Tinder.
The popular dating application requires both parties "swipe right" on profiles they like, before they are allowed to exchange messages. But Sebastian Stadil developed a string of code to automatically swipe right and send a few messages of introduction to as many women as possible, in an attempt to speed up the process. Stadil's program contacted more than 200,000 women, leading to more than 200 dates during a four-month period last year.
But, while the Silicon Valley software engineer did land a few second and third dates out of the venture, he says he's still looking for true love.

I like how they note that his ex is with a new man. That's some good investigative journalism right there.

I'd be interested to know what his bot was programmed to say to anyone he matched with.

Less on looks but more emphasis on status and education. How many women with university degrees date men without. How many women with CPAsdate men with BComms. etc etc etc..

Your general matchability index. That's not a thing, but it is for this example.

Generally similar appearances, lifestyles, interests, etc.

The bracket is many things. The bracket is all things. Two people of similar attractiveness might not even be in the same bracket, likewise for education and job level.

Hollywood would suggest that for men, the bracket may not exist, and for women, the bracket can be broken. There are 50 or 60 years worth of movies dedicated to those exact concepts.

In reality, the bracket is the bracket. You generally match best and most often with someone within yours.

I could write a thesis on the bracket.

That clarified almost nothing. And the Louis CK skit was 90% dedicated to why women are insane to even date men. And how ridiculous first dates are.

Is the bracket just your way of saying you have to date people that aren't too "good" for you to have success? But the level of "goodness" is variable depending on looks, age, education, wealth, and other general societal status indicators? So it's actually almost impossible to know who is in your bracket because everyone's looks, education, wealth and age are variable.

Anyways. The bracket concept seems vaguely misogynistic and dumb. Like ranking women's appearance out of 10.

Society is misogynistic and dumb.

The statement "Out of your league" is a saying cause it holds true. People usually stay in their "league" and major movement between those leagues is super rare.

Haha society is indeed misogynistic and dumb. Touche.

But actually thinking about it some more it's more superficial than misogynistic. If men and women have brackets then it can't really be misogynistic I guess by definition.

Yep. It definitely cuts both ways. It's not a secret what most people are after... status elevation. No one wants to be the "ugly" one in the couple.
