Stop parroting 80/20 rule. It's a myth. The real rule is 95/5.

The 80/20 rule as applied to dating stems from an ok cupid graph that said that 80% of the men are considered below average. But looking at the graph again you'll notice that only 5% of men are actually considered attractive. Just being in the top 20% means you're only average in the eyes of women and you'll still be expected to impress her in most cases. Being in the top 5% is where the fun begins. If you're in the bottom 80% you're better off not even trying and probably would be happier rotting.
