In my age cohort, things are a bit different. The more look around I do notice that there are guys who gun out of their league and set themselves up for sexual failure as a result. But I also see a lot of average/plain girls with boyfriends. So long as she is ‘feminine’ and doesn’t think sex/flirtation with a playboy type means he wants a serious and fulfilling LTR.

I do see a lot of highly attractive people not getting together. The reason, to me is obvious. Highly attractive women want to leverage there looks to get a highly attractive mate where as the HA males have many willing women at their disposal. For the men its like “why rrestict myself to one “10” when I can have a variety of 8s 7s and below?”

Despite claims to the contrary this “male hypergamy” of which you speak is real. Im taking an evolutionary psych class with David Buss and he said it himself. This modern age of Playboy, Maxim, porn, mass media ect. his distorting men (and women’s) views of what they can get on the SMP. Simply put, excessive exposure to images of digitally perfected women distorts what men think they have access to. Also, men do chose women according to what their peers think.

Well this is turning into a rant now so I will spare you, Nicole.
