1.2K opinions shared on Dating topic. Like other women, some are single and many other are not. The reasons are mostly for the same reasons that other women are single. The primary reason is men date down for sex but the don't marry down so the girls want the hottest guys that will fuck them and reject less desirable guys that would marry them.
Another reason is from 18 to 23 they think they have all the time in the world to get married and it is a lot of fun to go out every weekend and to meet and get fucked by a hot guy. Then in their upper 20s and low 30, when they have completed their education and have obtained high incomes, they want and believe they deserve a guy with similar educations with equal or higher incomes and the refuse to settle for less. Their problem is that although they find educated high income guy most desirable, the men they are interested are not motivated by the women's education and income. Instead of some 30 year old hide with a high income such as a lawyer, they are seeking the young juicy 22 clerk that works in her office that still has her bloom.29 Reply- +1 y
@Ayanna240 Of course, they still have lots of choices but their choices are far more limited than when they were 20. That is why freshmen girls are the most sought after in college. A man that ran an expensive call girl operation was on the talk TV program a few years ago. A lady about 30 asked him, how old his girls were.
"Most are 18 to 22, the oldest is 26."
"Do you need anyone about 30?"
"No."
"Men tell me they like older women."
"Lady, the men are just being nice. There is no demand for women age 30." - +1 y
@Ayanna240 Absolutely, it is correct that young women near age 20 prefer guys near their age and usually reject guys more than a few years older. That is why women at age 30 still have lots of choices. They have very little competition from young women age 20.

@DWornock here's the truth:
Girls in their early 20s are usually dating guys from college or just a few years older (usually guys that are still in their 20s). The biggest reason is because these girls get dates from school or "friends of friends". 95% of our social circles are folks in 20s. We are also have much more in common with guys just a few years older, not a million years older.
A girl in her early 20s isn't looking to marry anytime soon. A man in his 30s is looking for marriage. Not to mention the huge differences in maturity levels. - +1 y
@DWornock
Empirical evidence adds to the general argument that men favor younger women. Below is a sample of the supporting data described by Conroy-Beam and Buss (2019):
Cross-culturally men report wanting partners who are about 3 years their junior; averages range from about 2-4 years.
Personal ads also show that while young men appear to desire slightly older women, as men age, they typically seek partners who are increasingly younger than themselves (i. e., targeting peak fertility).
Marriage records from multiple countries, including the U. S., show a clear trend in which husbands are typically older than their wives, with the age gap increasing for older men.
Men spend more money on engagement rings for younger women, pay more for younger prostitutes, and in bride-price cultures (e. g., Kenya), men must spend more money in order to marry a younger bride.

@DWornock
Empirical evidence has also accumulated in support of women's preferences for older men, and as you might expect, the data often overlap with those data supporting men's preferences. As this sample of Conroy-Beam and Buss's (2019) review suggests:
Cross-culturally, women report wanting partners who are (on average) 3.5 years older than them.
In online dating, women make the first contact with older men at a greater than rate they do younger men.
Marriage records show that women are marrying men who are older than they are by about 3 years.

@DWornock There is no indication that women are seeking much older men.
If you're a 40 yr old man, women in their 20s are not gonna go for you. You will just have to settle for a 35 yr old woman.
Just because you want a 20 yr old, it doesn't mean you can get one.
I'm 25 and I certainly am not interested in 38 yr old men.

+1 yBecause pretty girls want the same treatment as any other woman.
They want to be liked for who they are, not for the attainment value they bring to men.
Immature guys want to prove they can get an attractive girl, but they have no intention of keeping her, getting to know her/her friends, or actually changing their behavior or lifestyle to accommodate a healthy relationship. They get one girl and think, wow I'm the shit, I bet i can do better.
Now there are plenty of decent gents out there who also frown upon this behavior. But once treated like a carnival prize, it's very easy to be wary. So women will just live their own life being single.10 Reply
+1 yPretty girls are picky and don't like guys using them just for their looks. I know guys can be imitated by pretty girls and some guys like to degrade pretty girls by being an ass, telling them they aren't good enough, manipulating them, and telling the pretty girls they're not that attractive. I have single female friends who are gorgeous and guys will degrade them by telling them that they're ugly when those guys aren't that attractive themselves. They also don't like to play mind games, get string along, and get used for sex. Dating in general sucks and its hard to find a good person who actually wants to be in a committed relationship

I would say a lot has to do with standards, women naturally already have high standards toward men in general so a girl on the prettier side of things will have much higher standards, and sometimes those standards will close the door for most guys. The types of guy those girls want only make up a small percentage of men, and many times those men also have options and won't really settle for just any girl. As we know women only date up not down therefore you find yourself with a lot of single people.

+1 yIt is very difficult being a pretty girl. No where near as great as people imagine. Can be extremely lonely. Men hit on you constantly and other men are too intimidated to say hello. Women are constantly jealous. So it isn't easy getting close to either sex. And it is hard to be recognized for anything but your looks. A lot of super beautiful women are depressed... especially since they tend not to develop social skills and later in life when their looks fade they find themselves completely alone.

+1 yMany reasons.
•Because their bad personalities counter their god looks
•because men are afraid of the consequences of asking in case she’s taken or claims harassment
•many men today don’t even see value in women anymore. Marriages just a word and dont bring anything special and will almost definitely end badly for men
•women are told to focus on their careers giving less time to the man and his offspring
Overall the blame ide say is 1 part men’s weakness 3 parts women’s fault one way or another. Men are definitely not men by last generations standards but women aren’t anything special anymore either. Their dangerous to interact with and a waste of time for most that want anything real.11 Reply Having more options might exhaust us more having to deal with so many more potential partners. Sometimes I log on to dating apps and then just feel overwhelmed after 5 minutes and log right back off for weeks or months.
Higher standards, because we know our worth and are not desperate.
Trying to figure out whether men want us for looks, sex, or for who we are as people.
Being objectified more is obnoxious. Not everyone wants that kind of attention.
Some just want to be single and are happier that way.00 ReplyStatistically, more intelligent and attractive women stay single longer. I'm not sure why exactly but I feel like it could be men being intimidated. So in that case it's not us... It's THEM 😂

Not intimidated. The smart guys know those kinds of girls get random gifts from strangers and a lot of free attention. And those guys won't act like the rest of the herd.
Rarely is a Pretty Girl single. Pretty Girls are single when they make a point of being beautiful. Now let me explain better. An attractive woman gets a lot more attention than a normal woman therefore she inflates her ego. This means that anyone who approaches her tends to reject them if they do not fall within certain canons of her, putting themselves on a different segment from the others. Since she puts herself on a different segment from the others, many men do not approach her because she is considered unreachable. She remains single because she put other in condition to not interact with her.

+1 yFrom my perspective, and this goes for any and all women due to my history, but I honestly feel like every woman is too good for me and that no woman will ever fall for a guy like me. Maybe its the almost 34 years of rejection and humiliation... but I feel like its a waste of both their time and mine, so why bother?

Anonymous(25-29)+1 yI dont know but they can easily find handsome nice guys. Why do they wait to get approached? I also think ugly girls tend to be confident, not passive, etc. which make them find very good looking guys. I swear i have seen so many ugly girls getting married to very handsome tall men like my cousine. I mean i am happy for them but it is interesting. Some people call this "ugly' girl luck". I also feel bad for beautiful girls. Beautiful girls get approached by every kind of men including bad manipulating guys. So this can be the reason why some pretty girls are manipulated to date bad boys. If you are young and pretty, you are easy prey for such manipulative narcists since young women tend to be naive, passive, shy and tend to have no real adult life experience. These bad guys dont accept rejection/No. So if you have a daughter teach her to be strong, confident and not passive etc.
00 ReplyAttractive women typically have confidence and don’t see themselves as needing validation from men. However the meaning of “attractive” varies as each person has their own perception of what they find attractive. Women that find themselves attractive don’t need to seek out validation from others and can be happy with themselves and don’t necessarily need a partner to be happy. Women can be happy single fulfilling their dreams and what they want to do that makes them happy.

+1 ybecause a lot of guys will see her, and think they're not good enough for her, and that's she's only seeking out a certain type of male, mostly it's due to lack of confidence, or maybe feelings of inequality, maybe they don't think they're attractive themselves, and would see it as a negative if they tried to approach someone good looking

+1 yCould be any of the following:
-Their standards are unrealistic
-They have shitty personalities
-They don't want a relationship; only want hookups/flings
-They could be intimidating for the people around them to ask out (highly unlikely as they're likely to get attention from most guys)00 Reply It really can come down to dating standards honestly, I've seen pretty girls date the horrible bad boy type of guy and some others can settle for a regular guy where the feeling was there, but most of the time the dating standards on most of these "pretty girls" can get so ridiculously high that most men just won't bother put in so much effort for a reward that doesn't seem to be worth it. On the opposite hand with higher standards some of these guys are "dating down" and not many are interested in it, and that's how you end up with pretty girls being single for so long.

00 ReplyIf being pretty is all there is to them then I'd say because they don't make me feel loved and i don't find them interesting or funny.

+1 yMost guys are intimidated by beautiful women, and assume beautiful women would never be interested in them, so beautiful women are often avoided.
When women feel like they're only validated for their looks, they may forget what they have to offer, and they often feel isolated.

+1 yBecause many guys are scared of approaching them thinking they must be taken since they are so pretty or that they don't stand a chance since they are so pretty and out of his league. Average and below-average girls get more attention from guys and that's what makes them think they are hot-shit even though they really aren't. guys simply approach them more often because they think they have a better chance at scoring!
10 Reply 14.3K opinions shared on Dating topic. One of 2 reasons
1. She may be pretty on the outside but she knows it and is very ugly on the inside. She has impossibly high standards
2. She wears a sign around her neck that says 'go away". Most guys don't approach women unless that women sends them a signal that they're open to be approached.

+1 yI think pretty girls love the attention on social media so they don't need 1 guy in her life. She can have fun and not attach herself to one person so she detaches herself from her followers for likes and compliments. But I have a feeling any girl who thinks this way or does this will suffer major/severe depression later on unfortunately because she enjoys the addiction of it.

While that's a fair point I think they're talking about women who don't get flirted with or asked out at all.

When people approach you, they see you, not your talents or intelligence. Those two come out during conversation or time.
As far as this intimidation by beauty amongst men, I for one don't believe in that. Beautiful women get approached a lot and they reject a lot as well. The men who are intimidated usually don't have the best conversation skills. - +1 y
Now that I think about it I have been told that while I am beautiful I'm incredibly intimidating. Which makes me laugh because I trip over my own two feet. However I'm 5'9 with an athletic build, cupids bow lips, long legs, pale skin, waist length chestnut-dark brown hair, freckles on my nose cheek bones and shoulders. I also have what I have been told are "very intense hazel eyes that stare into your soul" the eyes in particular freak people out because they are very green when I'm sad and if I get really mad they mostly turn this amber orange. So that might be the problem. and to top that off I have bad RBF if I'm not paying attention

@AgentRED I'm gonna just tell you that most girls do not get boyfriends from men approaching them. Its the least effective way to get anyone. Most girls get boyfriends from "friends of friends" or by going to parties or social gatherings. Approaching your future wife is kind of like your chances of playing the lottery. You completely do not know her, she can be the one but she can also be the furthest thing from what you way.
