Australian men on average seem to be what only a small percent of American men are. What we can deduce from this, even if the men step it up, it doesn't have much effect on the quality of the women or them wanting to look better for the men.
From the ones I have met visiting the US (mainly in Vegas & LA) they generally seem in shape, well-dressed, and socially confident.
Contrast that to the typical American male, he's probably 15 pounds overweight and dresses about the exact same as he did in his 8th grade school picture.
American culture is also very against male self-improvement for whatever reason (besides the pursuit of money). This doesn't seem to be true in Australia.
I would agree that the average Australian male makes the average American male seem 'try-hard', insular and uncultured - this is largely because Australians travel more than Americans, plus most American men dress like dorks. But I would disagree that regarding your point of self-improvement - Americans are much more into this than Aussies, just look at the self-help industry, and how Americans are more extroverted and better leaders. This is due to Australians:
- Extreme Laid-back Mentality = Everything is "no worries" AKA why bother.
- Egalitarianism = it's considered not cool to show you're better than someone else.
- 'Mateship Larrikinism' = Men are encouraged to talk shit, tease and laugh at each other during most of their male bonding time because it's deemed uncool to talk about anything personal, important and serious.

You can't do much but laugh at articles like this, especially if you've ever travelled overseas (especially FSU countries). The women here are trash, there are a couple of diamonds amongst the rough but the majority are terrible even if she looks moderately attractive, her personality, sense of entitlement and masculine attitude quickly diminish's any initial physical attraction.
After having lived Eastern Europe, there's no comparison.. its down-right depressing. Sure a women's SMV is heavily weighed in her physical attractiveness, however that is either amplified or negated depending on her cultural and traditional upbringing. I found the company of women in EE a pleasurable experience; conversation was stimulating and I felt respected as a man, you still needed game but there was SO much less bullshit for a much higher value woman.
If the women around me are shit, it brings everything else down..
OMG, what you said is 100% true - I have literally just returned from the FSU to the west, and it's absolutely shocking. I never realised how important it is for society to have beautiful women in it, it had me feeling high on life the entire time, they treat a real man like a real man. Now being back, I have post travel depression - I realise just how wrong the system and culture is, and how blind the men in my country are.

In reality Channing Tatum and Ryan Gosling would struggle in Australia if they weren't famous. The guy that's a 7-8/10 is in a real struggle zone.
For a ONS - Most girls of a 6 and up are looking for a 9+ Male.
I can vouch for that statement - in Aus my male friends are late 20s, good-looking, sporty, funny, successful, cultured and based in a trendy part of town - and they do well from time-to-time with hotties, they're generally scoring a point or two under themselves.

This is especially so, given the fact that in much of the Anglosphere 50% of the women are overweight to the point of being undatable. Even when adjusted for the higher male/female ratio at birth, China ends up being less of a sausage fest for men than most of the Anglosphere, despite some academics' fixation on China as posing a particular security threat due to the out of whack dating market there.
Exactly. Obesity rates have a much larger role to play than people think. If at least 50% of the women in the Anglosphere are fatties, then you are eliminating half of the women in society from the dating market. Then if a further 25% will hit the wall and gain excessive weight gradually from age 23 to age 40 due to toxic lifestyle factors. Then you are left with 25%, and then there's a range of other issues which render this subset as unattractive, such as lack of empathy, lack of femininity, terrible fashion and over-entitlement etc etc.
