The fact is that when there is a housewife, the norm is home made food. Which is also cheaper and with families there is usually a tight budget. And it is not just food, is the taking care of others. As I said, you might not have older parents that you need to take care of. But what I've seen is that housewives are basically like personal nurses for elder family members. And that is even harder than taking care of babies. You also need to change nappies but the person weights way more.

The outsourcing of taking care of older family members happens in few families. It is expensive and many old people doesn't want to be sent there. So the moment that there is a housewife (or spouse), that rarely happens.

24x7 is being always on call. You also have it in IT (where I work). It means that they can call you at any time. So you work your hours but you can also be call for emergencies. But thanks for let me know that your work is less demanding than a housewife's work. XD

So if you don't want a house-spouse, you do in fact demand of a woman or a man to have a career, which you claimed that men didn't demand from women. Make up your mind.

And you claim that you want to be the househusband, but you aren't even aware of all the things that it demands, so you probably won't be doing them. I suppose you can look for a rich woman- or man, but then, you still have the requirement about the woman having lots of money, which means that yes, women also need careers/high incomes to find a partner.

As for "women pick what they want", you might not have been paying attention to the example you linked. The 59 women looked good for her age. Key words "for her age" but was hit by a much older men and a men who looked bad for his age. That is probably not her preference. I did in fact saw the two videos and the first thing that came to my mind was that for them to be comparable, you should have picked all the other variables the same. Age, socio-economic, etc. Sorry, but the problem is not that dating as a hetero man is that complicated, most regular looking guys get dates. The thing is a about the "message" the pictures send. No shirt = I want casual sex. And many regular looking women would skip on certain men because they would suspect catfishing or any other "trap". I think your problem is attitude, which is something people tend to notice.

If men swipe right 46% of time, it means they swipe left 54% of time. And if swipe right "easily", they won't follow up many of the matches, they would pick the favorites and ignore the others. You have admited that swipe right doesn't mean real attraction by saying that men would swipe right on anything. Men do care about the end result that require clothes, make-up and haircuts. Because those things affect the end picture that they see. It is no secret that the same women wearing just jeans and a loose T-shirt would get less dates than a woman is a dress with heels and nice make up.

The fact is that I comment with my friends, both male and female about their experiences. We improved our chances by exchanging information. For example, to select which kind of pictures worked better, I asked the men. We helped them with their pictures and descriptions. I find a boyfriend and still live with him. My career was one of the things he found interesting on the first date. Since our jobs have things in common and we shared hobbies, we have plenty of conversation topics which helped us to "click". And that is exactly the point, you claim that women doesn't require anything, but in dating, everyone does require lots of things to make it actually work past a few dates.

And as long as slut shaming exist, heterosexual men would have a more difficult time to get hook ups. Because women have more to lose. Not just that, many women fear that if they date a perfect extranger, he might be crazy and kill her. That kind of thing happens to women. So of course they act differently. Understanding this kind of things is what might increase your chances.

But many men who want an easy and kick hook up without putting to much thought and work into it, don't stop to think that they things that work for them (seeing a nice body) might not work the same for the other part. Hell, some dudes take selfies at their rooms showing skin but doesn't realize that their dirty and mesy room is showing behind. And that room is something that might put off many women...

To give you an example: I swipe left on all the men who didn't bother to fill the "favorite book" question because my personal preferences. It had nothing to do with "being hot" or not. For me, if you don't read, there is no interest. I have a friend that only swipes right on men who have take the time to complete the profile and share at least one hobbie with her. Then I have a friend that only dates guys that live closer, she doesn't want long distance. There are plenty of reasons unrelated to how someone look to swipe left. That is the key, you accuse women to have impossible standards on looks, when the fact is that they are ok with average looks but not ok with no affinity/things in common.

Do your own experiment, try to fill the whole profile and switch to someone that talks about things you like/have in common. And try to approach them with respect and not anger. Women try to avoid angry men because it is dangerous for us. Hell, I even had a test to identify that kind of men chating before even making a phone call. Would you date a man bigger than you that might become violent? No? Same with women.
