I can only strive for contentment and short-term pleasure. Anything more makes me a fool.

False information that on 20% number. I guess you have not noticed the many hundreds of thousands of “ugly” men that have marriages or girlfriends. They can been seen in just about any public location. I am not trying to argue with you, but what you are writing is a false narrative from a negative point of view.
I have seen seriously disabled/ disfigured guys in relationships.

I think your age and lack of worldly experience are polluting your perception. Go to a flea market and people watch, or a big store like Costco, Walmart, or any massive chain store and look around for a while.
For every stunning beauty you see out there, some dude is tired of her already. The is Hope.

Hows about a citation for that published in a peer reviewed journal. The Journal of Social Psychology would do.
When we are existentially lonely we will internalize lies. This sounds like one. My recognizing the lie that women only fall for jerks let me be free to grow so that I could provide an alternative, was my thinking as a young adult.

Is that serious study finding? Because 100% of women that reproduce pass on some dna. Logically the numbers would be higher for women than men. Not all guys reproduce, but it is definitely more than 20% of the male population. More like 20% of men. Do not reproduce.

It’s in their DNA to desire to reproduce with the tallest and strongest. Do I need to prove that with a study or is it common sense? Those who aren’t standing out biologically are settled for. Their marriage is lacking true, carnal, genuine love.

And please do not forget I’m primarily focusing on my generation and below.

The instinct to survive maybe present in some women more then other women. Like l truly don't wish to babysit a grown man, yet my neighbor just babysat a man who she claimed was nice, who was pretty much a jerk, and she drove him to AA, etc. Desirable guys usually don't need babysitting.
