But maybe, just maybe, and I know I'm talking crazy here, but maybe if you weed out the ones that aren't worthwhile your quality will go up.
for a lot of people being picky means they will never get laid. and that's fine, if you can accept that.
but they don't. they are enraged by the lack of 'quality' people available to them. and offended by the abundance of low quality people available to them.
the idea you can 'raise your standards' and get 'better results', in dating/mating, is mostly cope. Especially when you start looking at the statistics. truth is people really should lower them, and well, humble themselves. because most folks aren't nearly as 'hot' as they perceive themselves to be.
it's also highly subjective. I attract a lot of very desirable women, but they aren't desirable to me due to my own biases and lifestyle preferences. Just yesterday I got like half dozen likes from women on Hinge, but they all worked in finance or pharma, so I rejected them because for me working in those industries means 'low quality' just like believe in astrology. But if I wanted to get laid? Yeah I should get over that bias, those type of women really like me, even though I hate them. And I only developed this bias due to my younger years... repeatedly trying to date them and running into the same miserable issues again and again.
