I'm sorry but this doesn't make sense. Like I keep saying, most of the men caught cheating in these groups are not very conventionally attractive men. You keep saying that women shouldn't date attractive men because they cheat. I keep saying the exact opposite of what you're saying.

You say women shouldn't date cheaters. People don't walk around with "cheater" written on their foreheads, which is why there is no actual way to behave the way you're suggesting.

Again, most of the men I have seen/heard cheating are not very attractive guys. You're trying to push a narrative than women choose to date handsome guys, who end up cheating, so women should avoid dating attractive men. But what I and (probably) many other women would tell you is that it's not necessarily handsome guys who end up cheating. A person is either a cheater or they are not, regardless of their attractiveness.

As for social skills, the logic doesn't track here either. Sure, manipulative people can have good social skills. I've met a ton who don't. I have also seen quite a few acquaintances being cheated on by not-so-attractive men with below par social skills. Similarly, there are probably a plenty of average men with average skills who cheat.

The point I'm trying to make is there are cheaters of all calibers when it comes to attractiveness, social skills, as well as intelligence, social status, and many other parameters. The narrative about "women should date less attractive men because handsome men are more likely to cheat" was created by insecure people with poor self-esteem, who don't get enough attention because of their character and lack social skills, but blame this on more conventionally attractive people, and critisize women for not giving them a chance.
