Assume attractiveness = intelligence, money, personality, physical

Here's what will happen between men and women of different attractiveness levels (based on my experience and observations):

1. Man (same level of attractiveness) + woman (same level of attractiveness) = potential relationship

2. Man (higher) + woman (lower) = casual sex, situationships

3. Man (lower) + woman (higher) = friendzone, man does stuff for woman without sex

Of course there are outliers. But these are the most likely outcomes.

In physics, there is a concept of the lowest energy state. For example, a ball at the top of the hill wants to release all the energy and rest at the bottom of the hill.

The lowest energy state for a women is #3. The lowest energy state for a man is #2. In other words, a man naturally wants a ton of casual sex, if he can. A woman naturally wants a lot of attention, protection, resources, if she can.

A very attractive man will get a lot of #2. A very attractive woman will get a lot of #3.

On dating apps (and in real life), woman want either #1 or #3 in outcome. Men want either #1 or #2 in outcome.

Eventually, most will settle into #1 after learning where their personal attractiveness level is.
