The guy has some points, but honestly us men are too damn thirsty. A guy who is a 10 will bang a fat girl thats a -5 l if he is drunk, and available. Yes I have met women who are still waiting for their prince charming, and will probably be waiting for a long time. Also yes looking average, and being uninteresting.
If your an "average guy" and have nothing going for you develop an interesting hobby, and personality. Stand out from the crowd of dumb thirsty individuals. Honestly I still say its easier for a man to date up from personal experience, and what I have seen. While yes a women can take home whoever she wants in a bar no matter her appearance. These women wont be keeping the guys around for long however.
It is my observation that you will see more attractive women with a less attractive boyfriend then you will see an attractive man calling a fat women his girlfriend.
