Would the 80/20 rule still exist in a world of genetic engineering?

[Frottbott]

I'm going to bed super soon so I can't reply as much as I'd like to, but this is a seriously interesting question! In a future of genetic engineering where all men look like Chad and there is maybe a 1% difference in looks based on how wealthy you are/what you can afford for your children's gene alteration, HOW WILL HYPERGAMY WORK?

Do you think it would still be 80/20? Or will all guys just get laid since they look 'good'. In other words, is the attraction women feel for men based on how they look, or is it based on how they look relative to the rest of the men? Will they be bitchy and cold to a man who is what we would today consider a gigachad, but in the future would be in the lowest 1% of the population looks-wise? (and still almost as handsome as the most handsome man)

Edit: The craziest part of this question is this - would a woman feel a sense of power by dominating and depriving an entire society of Chads (like they do with us)? Or does she just genuinely love Chad and would she want to boost up the lowers and raise their self esteem.

Unless everybody was a carbon copy of eachother society would find a new way to decide the top 20%

There will be wealthy class who can afford to genetically engineer their offspring.
And than ugly rest that cannot afford it.

Even when everybody will be able to afford genetic engineering of their offspring there will be always special options for rich that will distinguish them from poor. But than at least having money will be totally aligned with your looks.

Future looks extremely bleak.

You could never break into a lucrative career without having the handsome, wealthy ancestor who gave you a head start. My fuckin' parents were liable to throw me in the fucking trash.
