I do believe there is someone for everyone. However, many of us see our prospective "someones" and decide it is not worth it.
I have heard a few times that roughly 95 percent of the population wants to date the other 5%. In other words, roughly 19 out of 20 want someone out of their league.
How many neckbeards won't settle for a woman because she's too fat, has kids, or just isn't good looking enough? While it is true that most men do not want that but for most, it is their dating pool.
Or what about women who are fat, unattractive, have kids, etc? Even if a man is interested in her, he doesn't want to be seen with her.
Side note - Women don't seem to have shame about who they are seen with for some reason.
Now MY dating pool looks like Jeff Bezos (Amazon CEO) net worth -
A one, a couple fives, and tons of zeros. Oh yes the zeros.
Even when I was young and at my best, my selection sucked.
Today, I do not bother trying to date because I am not looking to uproot my life over some dude or piece of ass that won't be worth a damn.
I agree with a lot of what you've said here. It is often men who want someone who is seemingly out of their league. But I think this is partly due to men and women seeing leagues differently - it's fine for a beautiful woman to go out with a short fat ugly dude as long as he's got a high power job and a lot of money. That makes him a catch. Conversely the men will judge the woman purely on her physical attractiveness. That sets her league and there's not much she could achieve in life to change it.
It's not everyone of course, but seems to be the majority.
I think the term "there’s someone for everyone" is a lie
