It seems as if this is a conscious decision to exclude even average looking women, otherwise I know I would see a much broader mix with 1/3 unattractive, 1/3 average, and another 1/3 attractive, but a swear its skewed 95/5.

Its bad enough that so many of them treat men like 2nd class citizens, but I am wondering if they are equally snubbing their nose at other women even who might have not been as lucky to be dealt a good hand when they were born.

I can't imagine that this is random, and that there is a 90% chance this is more sinister that random, but prove me wrong with facts.

Bottom line is I think that this is MORE wrong that only hanging out with peers of a similar socio-economic class or educational attainment level. At least you have the chance in the USA to go from being poor to being rich if you work hard and smart, but you can't naturally alter the way you look.
First of all you can alter the way you look. There are so many options today!

When you're an attractive female and you associate with overweight, non-health conscious, non make-up wearing females who don't put forth any effort there will always be jealousy, hatred and few things in common. Also, men will not approach you if you're with someone who appears unsanitary and like they gave up on life. You call it sinister, I call it making it an investment in oneself.

I for one, agree with the OP, with a caveat. Women who spend a great deal of time on their appearance tend to prefer hanging out with one another.

And women who spend less time, money, effort on their appearances tend to hang out together.

The vast majority of women - if it's a lifelong focus for them to be attractive - can achieve a level of attractiveness that is higher than average. And they are drawn to others who are similarly focused.

Sorry to bore everyone to death. But that's the reality - as I have seen it.

Speaking for myself, and I realize that I am not the norm, I spend time and effort on my appearance as far as being healthy and fit. It is easy enough to do and does not take much time or effort from other pursuits. People seem to think that women who look after themselves are focused on appearance and men who look after themselves are healthy.

I don't wear makeup and I don't color my hair, as a result my skin and hair have not been damaged by those chemicals.

The only other people I socialize with are family members and they run the gamut from attractive to not-so-attractive mostly based on how much they take care of their health and not due to any inherent genetic trait.

My mother used to say that if you were healthy and fit you'd look good wearing a paper bag.

it's all true.

beauty standards are different to each person..they also vary by cultures.

somebody who is fantastically obese with bad hygiene is not only somebody many people won't hang out with...but job wise, that person will be limited to certain occupations in life. Men can get away with looking like that, but most women are going to be severely judged.
It depends on your lifestyle. If it's important for you to look great, be healthy and be around people with high vibrations, that is what you are going to aim for in your life.
The ones that are lazy, depressed, sloppy or have social issues that they can't solve, leave them be. It's their responsibility to solve their own problems. Live and let live.


*My response to this is based off my own experiences in life so far*

Also, the saying 'you are who you hang with' applies. I think for some people who are perceived as being average looking or below average may not "know" because to them, looking and feeling bad all the time is there 'normal' although it is not normal to go through life like that, I equate it with being stuck in a rut and being depressed....is it normal to not give a **** about life or yourself for years? I think they develop some kind of victim complex because they don't really know how to do the work to improve themselves or their lives and they become stuck, and it doesn't help when they DO decide to do something about it and the attractive people put them down for it because god forbid they should have any competition in the world.

It takes work to get the things we want it life, i guess not many people know this or want to do the work? Like why exercise to lose weight, when you could take diet pills or lipo or cryotherapy? See what I mean?

Im just now learning that if i want to look and feel MY best, the only person that is going to take care of that is me. Yes, i may have support....but it is up to me, and i can do something about it. Just because you are mediocre in life does not mean you have to stay that way, you can work to improve yourself...self growth is an amazing thing.

Because unattractive women are jealous of our looks and are mean to us. We on the other hand have something in common. We trade beauty secrets.

Unattractive people know what its like to be human and have a soul. Attractive people also have this in common: you are jealous of each other's beauty and compete for attention.

I'm going to guess that they are trying to sexually intimidate men. They already put their makeup on and went to the salon and bought their sexy clothes, getting their sexiest look together, they need to take their attraction to the next level. Bringing an unattractive girl in drab clothes would diminish their sexual power and lower the chance of selection.
