When it comes to successful long term commitment (post sexual revolution) what is the typical attractiveness gap in both partners?

For instance, is the norm the male being one number above the female? Two numbers? Or are looksmatched life partners still the norm despite the more hypergamous nature of the modern dating market?

tbh with how ‘looksflation’ is now i feel like long term commitment works better when the guy is a bit more attractive or at least looksmatched w the girl cause average girls are getting gassed up online and mid guys get overlooked unless they have status or clout lol so stable couples now are usually htn+ guys with htbs or even mtb girls (prob on the higher side of mtb) if the gap is too big she gets insecure or he gets options and cheats but if they’re matched or he’s slightly above it feels more balanced and less resentful long term

Once women are entirely free of all pressures to settle, whether they be economic, social or religious, what percentage of the male population will simply have to go without? 3's and below?

probably yeah, like 3s and below are basically invisible to most girls now unless they have crazy status or money or she has literally no options and even then she’s prob not actually into him. deep down once all external pressure is gone most girls just go for what they’re actually attracted to and that usually starts at mtn+ (higher end of mtn) especially now with how easy it is to get validation online so yeah a lot of low tier guys are just out of the game completely unless they level up in other ways.
