Anecdotal evidence is not the same as actual data across populations

The Sample size is rather small from personal experience. I am curious if such data exists.

I don’t think I understand what you are saying. Data does exist.

Taller men are generally seen as more attractive.

Wealthier people, or people who pay attention to the latest trends in general are seen as more attractive.

Healthy and fit people are generally seen as more attractive.

All of this is true, but so what. If someone is hyper focused on getting a man or woman to be with them who has these or other specific physical and / or socioeconomic traits, isn’t that for them to decide?

If you only want to date women who have been on the covered of the sports illustrated swimsuit edition, isn’t that your choice also?

What’s your point?

We sort of drifted from orignal topic. Typical for me lol. I guess the point is as human society shifts more online those that don’t have any of the features you mentioned in the previous post are hit the hardest in finding a mate. Also in turn lack of focus in social skills will make any relationship less successful. This sudden shift is likely a factor for the reactionary trend. History in 30 years is going to be “fun” unfortunately.
