"In terms of looks, a woman can get any guy she wants as long as she's not fat or ugly, just average" true or false?

Question

MrOracle · Accepted Answer

"Get" as in, for casual sex? No, not quite any guy, but a big percentage, for sure.

"Get" as in a committed relationship? Not hardly. And the difference between a girl who is a 5/10 in looks vs. a girl who is a 9.5/10 in looks isn't huge either. Yes, there is SOME advantage for the really beautiful girl, but it's maybe a 10-15% difference, not 50 or 60%.

No question, that most younger women (late teens and 20s) can easily get attention from most men - a foot in the door if you like. But, initially, that attention is going to be almost 100% sexual attention, not romantic attention. Romantic attention is going to depend far more on personality, morals, values, and life goals. This is true for all but the most beautiful woman (the top 1-2%), who can - while she is young - get many men to overlook most character flaws.

Most women use their sexuallity to attract men, because it's easy and it works nearly all of the time, but it's a big mistake to believe that that's a good way to get a committed romantic relationship. It IS a good way to get a Friends With Benefits relationship, but not a romantic one. Men looking for a romantic relationship generally assume that the sex part will work itself out, so they are more focused on other areas of the relationship, and it's those other reasons that he's far more likely to use to disqualify a girl as a relationship partner.

To put it simply, when it comes to having sex, even the most attractive guys would not mind to have sex with an average girl and maybe a little bit below average if she isn't an annoying bitch.

However, things are much much different when it comes to commitment! Even I, as a average guy that has been rejected twice (well maybe more depending on your definition of "rejection"), I do have real standards when it comes to LTR and commitment so I would definitively not want to be with a HUGE percentage of girls. Now imagine an actual attractive guy that is desirable.

You can be neither of those and still not get one who cares about you, while someone who is one or both of those can have the happiest life out of all of us

WhitneySnow · Accepted Answer

Not true. A hot guy might have sex with an average girl but unless he really loves her personality he’s not gonna make her his girlfriend.

Avicenna · Answer

For a monogamous, exclusive relationship? Not just any guy. Lots of them, sure.  Essentislly, what @MrOracle said.

MementoMori_ · Answer

If get means sex than the answer is that most girls can find some guy to have sex with them any time they want. The only exception might be if she has some kind of serious body or appearance problem. Certainly any average looking girl can find A guy to have sex with any time she wants. Not true for guys because guys are hornier than girls. Girls are pickier about who they have sex with, but if a girl really wants to she can convince almost any guy to have sex with her.

Relationships (real ones anyway not fake ones just so the guy can get sex) are a whole different answer. They take time and effort and some people both attractive and unattractive just are not good enough at it to form real relationships.

NamerOfStars · Answer

False. Far closer to true than it would be if the sexes were reversed, but still false- higher selection pressure means that men aren't likely to turn down a chance at sex (since it may be the only one they ever get), and they're hornier and aroused much more often than women, but they can still think.

Plus, some men are in committed relationships and won't cheat, and some aren't attracted to women. That's going to make a dent in the numbers, even if morality doesn't.

Rockstarrrrr · Answer

Well, she'll definitely get guys... and if she's sassy enough she can get guys who are out of her league...

Depends who you ask. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. That being said. One mans ugly is another mans sexy. Me personally, if you showed me two women what were identical in every way except one was fat and one was skinny. Im choosing the fat one. Skinny just does nothing for me.

GreenLanternI0I · Answer

If you are talking about finding men for sex only, than yes, Very True. But, if you are talking about long term relationship/marriage Not True At All.

SlothySlob · Answer

"get any guy" but for what? For a relationship, she's still have a hard time. For sex, I'd say she'd have an easier time than fat and or ugly women.

watercolor_lions · Answer

This completely eliminates the guys' superficiality/depth, the woman's personality, and chemistry between the two people. Disagree

FilmGuy93 · Answer

That’s pretty true… as long as an average woman doesn’t have a dog shit personality, she will generally be able to hold the attention of most men.

AndrésC64 · Answer

Well, it depends on what you mean. The woman you described can walk into any bar anywhere and get laid anytime she wants. If you're talking about a serious long-term relationship, then it might be a little more difficult.

domenico07 · Answer

False. I’ve met women who were less than average looking, but they had other qualities that were great. Like being funny or being knowledgeable on a vast majority of topics. And those people are %100 dateable to me

Adaeva · Answer

Of course not. Even most very pretty girls can't get movie stars.

USLegionary · Answer

For sex generally. Provided he's not taken or their isn't hotter competition

CallmeTheKnight · Answer

You'll be surprised of the body count of ugly and fat women these days. If a man genuinely wants to be with you, he'll be with you.

Guardian45 · Answer

True, if she's looking for a date or hook-up.  False, if she's wants to marry. As for ME, her looks AIN'T gonna cut it, if everything else is WRONG!

Exterminatore · Answer

Definitely true if we’re talking strictly about sex.

Anonymous · Answer

Not any guy, I'm pretty and I can't get any guy I want.

joeldalton · Answer

Somewhat true. The real truth is “any woman can get laid any time she wants”

Jamie05rhs · Answer

No. Because some guys won't stoop for average women. They only go for 9s and 10s.
