Women want mediocre men, and men are working to be as medioc

Summary

This quote suggests that there is a tendency for women to be attracted to and settle for average or "mediocre" men. Meanwhile, men, fearing rejection, are striving to fit this average mold in order to appeal to women. The quote hints at a dynamic where both genders are conforming to societal expectations and settling for less rather than seeking excellence or challenging the status quo. It also raises questions about the impact of these perceived preferences on personal growth and individual aspirations.
