Women want a man who's tall, athletic, handsome (stereotypically masculine features and at least a minimal level of grooming), wealthy, assertive, and dangerous. The problem is that most Western women have also been propagandized to believe that physical beauty standards are "bigotry", that wealth is the sign of an "evil" capitalist, that sociopathy and assertiveness are the same thing, and that danger doesn't require restraint. You see gals date fat slobs and not understand why they aren't attracted to him and end up bailing on him for a guy with a gym membership. You see gals chasing men who peacock through consumption spending rather than acquiring sustainable wealth, and then they break up over financial strain. You see gals date abusive narcissists and then claim "they didn't know" he was an asshole when their friends and relatives warned her he was trouble. Somewhere in there gals usually end up dating the stereotypical "T-Rash" criminal type who's dubiously employed, has a criminal record, abs, but he's a bad-boy-and-I-can-change-him (you can't). Instead of a guy who's capable of being dangerous, but exercises wisdom and restraint. Think of the guy who *could* put your head through a wall if you FAFO, but possesses the wisdom to deescalate and avoid conflict until a red line is crossed. As I've grown older I've grown increasingly disappointed with my female friends who're still single because it's ALWAYS one of the above. I try to warn them that they were lied to and should go find a traditional guy and be happy (Hey, look at me, I'm happily married), but they rarely listen.
