Do you believe that women are pickier than men?
Do you believe that men are willing to settle for an imperfect woman while women expect only the tallest, richest, most muscular, and most chiseled man?
The reason you believe this is because you're getting your information from different sources.
Your information about women's preferences is based on what the media tells you. You see TV shows in which women drool over the tall rich jock while teaming up to systemically reject the nerdy looking man and make him a laughing stock. You assume that that's an accurate representation of women's preferences.
Meanwhile, your information about men's preferences is based on your own preferences. You find yourself attracted to women who are far from the media's ideal, which makes perfect sense because despite there being statistics showing that some traits are more likely to be found attractive, each individual person's preferences are wildly different.
Your standard of men's preferences is yourself, a real person. Your standard of women's preferences is characters on TV created by people who want to promote their standards as the norm.
So of course it's going to seem like women are pickier than men.
