The amount of people in this thread who have no clue about statistics, yet act/argue like it's the subject they've studied their whole life, is way too high.

Which part of my post indicated that the women initiated contact? (replying to a message, is also contact - if a woman is not interested in a man that messages her, she can just as easily ignore the message).
Your anecdote seems to reinforce the point - attractive women get a fuck-ton of messages. Perhaps I'm misinterpreting the statistics - I'll be the first to admit that my grasp of statistics is not great - but the graph which shows attractiveness of the women vs number of men that contacted them looks like about 2/3 of the men are 'competing for the 'top' 1/3 of women (on the attractiveness scale).

Maybe that is right, but will you disagree that people who choose their partners based on feeling that their credit card will be at their service whenever they want, and then bury themselves in debt, is a recipe for failure as well? Or, how can someone trust that their partner will stay with themselves through hard times, until they both get out of it, when there's a chance that, if someone richer appears, that partner will leave to stay with that person? I don't know about you, but I'd rather be rated on average a 4 out of 10 (based on that video where girls found men more attractive if they were rich) and still find someone who would stay with me through hard times, than be rated an average of 8 out of 10 and be dumped when my partner found someone that is a 10 out of 10. Simply put, I don't see how it is possible to trust someone who views "financial stability" as my more attractive trait. I'm not their bank account, and I think everyone values financially independent women
Perhaps I should have said clarification rather than correction. The word "contact" suggests an initial communication. I was just trying to be clear that the women are probably not just cruising through OKC and contacting guys they don't find attractive.
And yeah, it seems the vast majority of men shoot for the moon whatever their own physical attractiveness may be.

As a gay guy myself, I think the issue is that it generally takes more work to become an attractive guy than it does to become an attractive women.
For women, it's basically a combination of weight control, hygiene, and being intelligent about what they wear. Guys need to do all of those things, and on top of that build muscle and refine their demeanor. At the end of the day, a woman can go on a diet and get slim--but a guy can't do the same and manage to get abs.
maybe it says something about the sample of men on okcupid and not women's expectations

80% of men are below average looking.
Most of the women took part in that test failed at mathematics and how "average" works.

I don't know, I read a survey about debt and dating this morning in the morningpaper, 75% thinks debt, or debt levels are an important factor, even higher % among girls and women. In Sweden that is.
75% would stop dating someone in an early stage if they learned to know about "hidden debts" whatever that means
The nerve is called the "nerve of awareness". You cant dissect it. Its a current that runs up the center of your spine. I dont know if any of you have sat down, crossed your legs, smoked DMT, and watch what happens... but what happens to me is this big thing goes RRRRRRRRRAAAAAWWW! up my spine and flashes in my brain... well apparently thats whats going to happen if I do this stuff...

Depends a bit on the size of the student loans and what they were for. If I found out they used their student loans to be able to live without working while doing a double major in underwater basket weaving and 18th century Nepalese literature with a masters in paranormal phenomena, I wouldn't want to be on the hook for that.
If they were working while in school and just took enough student loans to help them get that engineering or computer science or biochem degree or something, I'd be totally OK with that.
