Maybe because (1) “under a certain age and bodyweight” and (2) women who are in monogamous relationships but use Romance as a kind of escapism.

So like... only a portion of women. How is this any different from men? Again, this doesn't at all explain why this is so heavily heterosexual male skewed. It's not like a significant portion of women are hot 20somethings-- if anything, the proportion is skewed older compared to men simply because women live longer. I bet grandma would spend hella social security to be doted on by a hot shirtless lawyer.

Hrmph. An engineering program might be composed of 95% males. That doesn't mean that most men are engineers or engineers in training. That's not the case at all.

Things don't have to apply to all men/women in order for things to be very lopsided.

I'm not asking why most engineers are men. I'm asking why your engineering program is 95% men. And if your argument is that, well, all hot women aren't engineers so almost no women are engineers, I'm going to raise eyebrows.

No. Your whole argument hinges on pointing out that a lot of women don't fit the mold of being Peak Attractive. I pointed out how that is irrelevant since it's not like we're talking about 90% of women to begin with.

Young people jump on new trends. Young men have problems finding a date, young women generally doesn't. Old women have problems finding a date, but old women like other old people don't jump on new tech things like AI boyfriends at the same rate as young people do.
