I went to an engineering college and apparently that saying has been around for quite a while
I also heard that one floating around the engineering school I attended.
I heard it while building the pyramids
The moral of this story is actually to use firefox so you don't get ads 😁

Porn ads literally advertise "ugly local women near you who want to fuck!"
"old grandmas in your area want to FUCK YOU"
Dating scene analogy: Men are in a desert, Women are lost at sea. There is no water whatsoever for the men. The women don't have access to drinkable water. Both are dying of dehydration.
I still don't know where do I find these hot MILF's in my area.
Try a PTA meeting
A local c-hound told me a church will do nicely
You need a kid for that. Just go to the kindergarten and pretend one of the kids is yours.
They are at home with their partners
hot MILFs* in my area

Well now I feel better about them always suggesting ugly grannies to me.
I have a hypothesis I can't really test because I'm not into men, but I feel like more men are unattractive than women. I'm going to guess it's because a lot of men put zero effort in.
Men who put in effort on their looks more than the bare minimum often get made fun of and compared women thanks to toxic masculinity.
Sure there's effort like good hair and beard. But if they try putting on makeup to cover up blemishes or brighten their face? They get called alot of nasty things and emasculated.
If you look at men's products for hair,it'll be 5-in-1 products that don't actually work but can pass because a lot of men are either bald or have short/thin hair. If you look at deodorants, they almost always have the same smell which is the same smell as the afformentioned 5-in-1. I hate this smell personally. I did find an oldspice scent I really liked and then when i looked up the comments, it was a bunch of these insecure men bitching about how a man's product was so fruity and girly and for women/gay men. And I'm like... aren't you trying to smell nice in order to appeal to women? Why is a scent that appeals to women a bad thing in that case???
I agree with a lot of this but I'm a bit iffy when it comes to makeup. I think that the normalized use of makeup for women has put unhealthy expectations and pressures on women to look different rather than accepting someone's actual appearance. I don't think extending that to men would be a good idea and in my mind it would likely only increase these pressures.
Of course people are allowed to like makeup and use it for different reasons, including covering up blemishes, but a lot of people feel the need to spend an hour putting on makeup every morning just to be accepted and I think that's really bad.
Most women prefer a natural look. They don't go around looking like geisha. Only a handful have any obvious makeup makeup and it might be a bit of eyeshadow or something. Usually it's the smoothen the face, brighten the face, or hide blemishes. Sure some women go above and beyond but usually this is for special occasions.
Yes women do have problems with having to look youthful and beautiful and perfect and yes makeup is partof that. But makeup is only a symptom not the cause.
If you look at men’s products for hair,it’ll be 5-in-1 products
I hate this. Having hair and body wash in the same bottle doesn't even save time
The male body is like a Jeep
Boxy and breaks down surprisingly often?
This has been true around here since I was in high school (or that's when I noticed) but once you get as old as I am now it's different, only the people who took care of themselves look good and the distribution is more equal. So I don't think guys are putting zero effort in, maybe as regards style but they must be maintaining their bodies at about the same rate, exercise and diet wise.
As real as life itself
Oh, cuz men are ugly... how modern...
Thinking men use desktops and women use laptops is genderphobic! Everyone knows men use gaming pcs that are visable on the table while women have their phone.
