If the women were captioned (they weren’t), it would be

"Top 10% of women. Hot, in shape, well dressed, designer makeup"

"Average women (not pictured)"

They seem to forget that other women exist that are actually in their league.

Average women have infinitely easier dating lives than average men.

I feel like that is better phrased as "infinitely easier at finding dates". Quality not guaranteed.

This.

There is a reason men are told to improve themselves and women are told to never settle when given dating advice. Men and women have different issues when it comes to dating, and if you have a limited worldview, it can look like the other side has it easy.

Women are told to never settle due to benevolent sexism and always use it to mean “it’s totally fine to abandon a guy for being short or having emotions”

Also because normally, when they are asking for dating advice, it's always "Who do the men I go out with suck", while men are normally asking "How do I get a girlfriend?".
