You have to pity the modern heterosexual woman

A small violin for the female eunuch

The Homo Sapien, in his natural habitat, has perfectly straight teeth, completely clear skin and a bodyfat percentage of around ten percent; around the level at which nearly all men will have at the very least visible abdominal muscles. In both continental Europe and Britain, as evidenced by the remains of the Gravettian people; the average man would have also stood at around six feet tall. On the four core indicators of attractiveness; teeth, skin, weight and height, the average male was leaps and bounds ahead of his post-historic descendant. He looked something like this:

I believe that almost everything about modern ‘sexual politics’ can be explained by the traumatic shortage of reasonably attractive men which is caused by modern industrial society. Yes there is 80/20; but even more mainstream Seinfeld-esque commentary on heterosexual relationships begin to make sense - why is it that we insist that women prefer personality to looks? Why is that so many men (and it is mostly men) experience a ‘dead bedroom’ - why are so many middle aged wealthy women drawn to writing about their post-divorce ‘sexual awakening’ with toyboys in the Times of London?

I put it to you, reader, that the reason for these unfortunate events is that the best that an average woman in her 20s can expect in the dating market today looks something like Eating With Todd.

Do you know why it is hard to look at Eating With Todd? It’s because human beings are not meant to look anything like that. The puffy blotches that make up his face are the symptoms of illnesses. If you *have* to reproduce, then you, as a woman, will *have* to convince yourself that you find some version of Todd attractive, not because of his looks, but because of his ‘personality’. It is a wonder that there are any heterosexual women left on Earth at all.
