Girls, , Do attractive women avoid attractive men?

[mds6387]

I think of myself to be a somewhat attractive guy. I would rate myself somewhere above average on looks. I understand girls like game and all, but that's not what i'm really concerned with. Do attractive women purposely ignore and avoid attractive men? The main reason I ask is, because I see attractive women with funny looking dudes ALL the time. It's seldom I see a matching couples anymore.

No... Perhaps if they are very insecure. I'm very selective myself. I think attractive women compare themselves to other women more though, I could be wrong - based on my observation.

[mds6387]

Yeah, I see what you're saying. So, it's primarily about personality then?

[GoldenWing]

No, it's both. Looks do matter - you have to be attracted to someone on a physical level in order for the relationship to work (FACT). Others will not agree, which they are entitled to, but I'd rather be straightforward than pretend to be someone I'm not. Obviously I don't want a perfect man; as I have found myself to be attracted to various types of men before. I don't have a type, so I can't exactly explain what I'm looking for physically. Personaity-wise, yes. Having a type (physically), narrows your dating prospects by 90%, if not more. So, all in all, Looks: 50% & Personality: 50%.

But attractive women may also date less attractive men, because their preferences differ; it's not always because of insecurity.

I really do appreciate your insight. Sometimes, I feel like i'm not attractive enough. Sometimes, women will tell me that i'm really handsome, but then disappear. I strive to figure out what it is about me that is causing attractive women to avoid me. I don't have really high standards at all. I don't really have a type either. When I say "attractive," I mean like a 6-10. I'm just lost I guess.

Probably as your view of attractive is different to others. Same goes. So they might look mismatched to you but matched to each other

[mds6387]

Perhaps, but it is painfully obvious though. There's this dude on my Facebook. He looks really funny. We're talking big head, hair cut like Loyd from "Dumb and Dumber" , and a severely malnourished looking body. Yet, he's always getting 7-10's like every month or two. I work really hard to have an attractive body. I style my hair to look fashionable. I'm always clean, groomed, and well kept, I wear nice clothes, and I have green eyes. Yet, I get rejected like 99.9% of the time. Maybe I just fall in that void space where, "he's not ugly, but I don't find him attractive."

Well there's more than a person's appearance

Even the unattractive girls will ignore the handsome guy because of low self-esteem.

[AngelLily]

Na it's just because there are more average looking guys so attractive woman end up with them more.
