The fact is that good-looking people find love more easily

[Hoax]

I'm a man and it's my god given right to land a hot chick. It's an ingrained cultural trope. The hero 'gets the girl' and it doesn't really matter if he's a horrible person or hideously ugly.

 

Hopefully one day these people will mature beyond the mental age of 15.

Is life a comic book? I was kind of hoping that would happen one day.

 

Seriously in comics the hero is usually awful to women and yet still manages to get the most desired female in the story.

 

Some toxic relationships take place in comics.

Yeah, exactly. I'm not a huge comic buff but you see it everywhere, comics, movies, fiction. Harley Quinn/the Joker is a good example I guess.

Well that's because we women have vaginas and therefore are almost guaranteed to get sex if we so desired it, no matter what we look like or what kind of person we are. And of course, being able to score easy and/or frequent sex whenever you want obviously means instant access to right?

 

 

Well, at least I'm happy some people understand that all that utterless moaning is purely based on some pre-conceived notion that they are entitled to someone that meets their own criteria while that is obviously not how the world works. On almost every aspect.

Yes, and so eloquently put.

 

I see you also like Alice in Chains. What an asset you are.

[man_in_the_box]

Yes, absolutely love them. Hard to believe staleys already more than 10 years dead

 

It'll probably always bother me that I never see that life, but you don't see me opening thread after thread how UNFAIR it is that I wasn't born 10 years earlier

Yes, or that you weren't born 10 years earlier and never had guitar lessons from the age of 3 to give you any chance of being a part of the band

[man_in_the_box]

Yes, curse my parents for financing 8 years of piano lessons and waiting till friggin' 1987 to conceive me. I should've been overdosing on heroin and have a song dedicated to me. Totally unjustified!

[hotpotato]

Exactly. My point is that an average looking guy has to try very hard just to find an attractive girl who is also attracted to him. I'm an average looking guy and I've had maybe 3 times in my life when an attractive girl thought I was okay looking. That's 3 times where love was even a possibility. Any tall, handsome guy who is my age has had over 100 times where there was mutual sexual attraction between he and a girl he met. That's 100 possibilities of finding someone who is compatible sexually and relationship-wise.

 

Maybe going after more average girls would help.

 

People are very hypocritical about this. I could model, I stay in shape. Guys who are out of shape hit on me, then get upset I'm not attracted to them. They have their standards,too, otherwise they would be chasing plumper and older women.

[Divasu]

My point is that this topic has been beaten to death already. Furthermore it is frustrating to hear generalizations being made, especially when it appears that any opinions to the contrary are ignored.

 

Yes. And, the title of this thread is misleading:

 

The fact is that good-looking people find love more easily.

 

There are millions of people paired up who are in love, and they are all different shapes, sizes and possess a variety of physical attributes.

 

Of course a good looking person has advantages, so does being rich. Materialism does not equal love.

[xxoo]

Men have so many ways to be attractive to women, and looks are just one of them.

 

If you aren't attractive to women in any way, then you have some work to do. But take heart in the knowledge that you also have a lot of opportunity for improvement.

[man_in_the_box]

Even ugly and/or overweight woman can easily get sex and maybe love from some guy. Is it the guy she wants and dreams about having though? Probably not, OK, not arguing that.

 

So yeah, apparently not being able to get just the person you want and not being able to get anyone AT ALL are interchangeable. Silly me.

 

Why is it any different from you then? If even 'ugly and/or overweight' women can manage to get sex and love then who the hell are they getting it from? Why is their situation any different than yours? Is there some sort of unknown supply of men to supply all women with suitable partners?

[Divasu]

Why is it misleading though? If, as you admit, good looking person has advantages, by that it is probably meant that they have larger pool of potential partners to choose from. And so if strong issue in a relationship arises, they don't have to worry about running out of options and not finding satisfying partner. Worse looking person has less options and it surely isn't guaranteed similar issues may not pop up with THOSE options. Except now it is possible to run out of prospects if you are too picky.

 

Yes, good looking people have it easier to find any partner, and by that logic, it indirectly translates to having easier time finding love as per reasoning above. What is so controversial about it, that it has to be denied over and over?

 

Oh, I don't want to get into semantics...

 

You're looking at it mathematically. And on that note, someone can play the powerball lottery a thousand times a week, but you still have a better chance of:

 

Dying in a transportation accident

Visiting the ER due to a pogo stick injury

Being hit by an asteroid

Losing an appendage to a chainsaw

Being hit by a meteor

Alright, I think I'm pretty much done here.

 

Good luck guys.

Most couples are pretty evenly matched looks wise i dont buy that men are much more visual and women can find men attractive in more different ways then vice versa otherwise youd see all mismatched couples which isnt the case.

Just because a couple is evenly matched looks wise (and not all are) doesn't mean that the woman was initially attracted by looks. Maybe something else made him stand out from all the other men equally average looking.

Well thats because men have a more diverse taste in what they find attractive physically in women then vice versa so that man will be initially attracted to that equally attractive as him women where the man wont exist to the women till he hits on her.

So there is something he can do to be more attractive to women: work on how he approaches and interacts with women.

But you acted like men have alot more opportunities and different ways to be attractive then women do to men when its not the case..an average or below avergae lokign dude man has to stand out to attract a women whos on or near his own attractivness level where the women just has to exist because the guy already finds her attractive.

You see the glass half empty (your looks alone are not enough to make a woman hot for you). I see the glass half full (so many other ways to make a woman hot for you!).

Your first points completely false ive seen it with my own eyes having a few really good looking male friends who have women physically throw thmeselves at them in public places its like shooting fish in a barrel if you're really good looking..

 

Its not about half full or half empty its about falsely stating how many have it easier and more ways to attract women when the man has to do more work to attract a similliarly attractive women then a women does because the women already has the man attracted..

lol, their looks alone can make a woman hot. I never argued that isn't possible for very hot guys. Your looks aren't.

I was not comparing who has it easier. I'm just saying that unsuccessful average-looking guys put far too much emphasis and blame on their looks. Study what the successful average-looking guys do, and model after them.

No you were comparing who has it easier you said men have more ways to attract women then vice versa which as i said is extremely misleading because men are attracted to alot more women off loks then vice versa..

No, I wasn't saying men have it easier. They have different ways. Each has advantages and disadvantages.

As a women i dont get the whole we dont care bout looks much thing i dont know any women who doesnt care about looks. I love good looking men and am glad i cant attract men im attracted to,an average looking guy does not get me hot because of any inner qualities it starts with physical and moves to see if were compatible in other areas but without physical im sorry its not happpening.
