Is it easier for women to be attractive or men?

Question

I believe its easier for women to be attractive. If a guy has a hairline that goes bad and he shaves it, most women dont like bald men. If he doesn't have facial hair, a lot of women dont like that. His wardrobe, facial hair, facial structure and height need to be specific to whatever liking the woman has. With women it's simple because its less specific and more universal. Put on makeup, brush or comb hair (they dont have to worry about bald), dont be obese (even BBW and thick are desired), dont smell and you're in... wardrobe dont even matter as far as style as long as you're half way decent. Feel like men have to put in more work (gym, facial exercises, calories burned, haircut, grooming, etc.).

Women definitely. Men don't care for makeup, and generally the more makeup a girl uses, the less attractive she actually is. Women could wake up, brush their teeth, comb their hair (not even straighten it... just give it natural vibes) and men would be attracted to them. The bar is much lower for women than it is for men.

However, if they choose to live a life of sloth and abundance, not working out and eating for craving rather than when they need to, then they can easily become obese and unattractive, which seems to be the case for most women in the west these days. It's to the point where obesity rates have tripled since 1975.

Women were far more attractive back then due to the lifestyles they lived, their physical shape, and the fact they were more feminine.

I went on a tangent there, but females have it easier than men to be attractive. They always receive more attention than men.

I'd say it's a stalemate. Because men having higher expectations than women physically. But women have the advantage that they are women.

I mean an avg. woman finds about 10% of men attractive. While an avg. guy finds about 40% to 60% of women attractive. So that's why it's always a numbers game for guys. A woman walks into a room and half the guys are going to be attracted to her on the avg. And she knows it. This is why women are so nonchalant about attraction. Unless she's got some kind of narcissisistic complex. Because those type of women it's not about being attractive. It's about having the attention of EVERY guy.

It really varies by individuals.

for me it’s easier for a man to be attractive, and it’s just based on day to day things I see in the town I live in. It’s very hard as a woman to be seen as attractive let alone date as a poc.

I've gotten rejected for my skin color, the fact that I have a small gap in my teeth, because I’m tall. The list goes on, these guys have really nitpicked at me, which that’s okay there’s not much I can do about it. Yet I’ve seen guys I consider unattractive in relationships…. So it’s definitely easier for men in my town, i can’t really say much about the women here as I don’t view many of them as pretty.

Attractiveness isn’t about gender, it’s about energy.

A woman can turn heads, but a man can command a room, both without saying a word when they carry self awareness instead of insecurity.

Physical beauty fades, presence doesn’t.

It’s easier for anyone to be attractive when they’ve mastered authenticity.

Because real allure isn’t in the face or the body it’s in how you make people feel your confidence without needing their approval.

Looks catch attention.
Energy keeps it.

Attractiveness can be subjective and varies from person to person. Society often places different expectations on men and women when it comes to beauty. Women may feel pressured to maintain certain beauty standards, including makeup and hair, while men might focus more on fitness or grooming. However, what one person finds attractive can greatly differ from another's perspective. Ultimately, confidence and self-expression can play significant roles in how attractiveness is perceived for both genders. 😊

I think the scales are different, I think it is easy for a guy to look fine or normal, and, I think that is all that is actually necessary. Exercise a little, do 5 minutes of daily grooming, dress normal. That is enough nearly all the time.

But, I think standards can be higher or tougher for women, if we just did what I just said, we would be considered plain or frumpy, so I think we try harder on average, so I think we look better on average, but we don’t get much credit for it unless we look good compared w other girls. I mean honestly I silently judge how other girls dress and stuff like that way more than I judge how guys look, I don’t mean to, but it happens anyway. JMO!

It is easier for women because most of what makes them attractive is them not purposely making themselves ugly. For example, tattoos, obesity, nose rings, unnaturally colored short hair, etc. are all things women purposely do to themselves and can EASILY be avoided. Most men are okay with a woman being a 5 or better in looks, but so many women these days are actually ugly and they did it to themselves.

Men on the other hand need to be tall (have no influence over that), need to be physically fit (not the same thing as just being slim), and need to have a strong jawline. Being physically fit is MUCH more difficult and requires frequent, never ending work, where as staying slim is much easier.

The majority of women have unrealistic standards because they only think of what they want, not what they qualify for. People can want whatever they want, but when they are VERY low quality in comparison, they should expect to be repeatedly disappointed.

While I agree, men have to put more effort, I hardly ever see a woman dating a man who is more attractive than her. But I see plenty of examples, of women who date men below their league.

I think men put a lot more value into their partner's appearance. Yes, the bar isn't high, but the bar is more important. Perhaps it's just me, but I have often gone from finding a man ugly, to absolutely feral for him when I get to know him or build some kind of fantasy in my head.

There are only a few select men who has me looking at them twice, because they are just that good looking. Most of my crushes haven't had me look twice, until I grew fond of them. Then they suddenly became the hottest.

And a bald men can be very hot! Shaved heads are super hot

Hard to say it truly depends on the individual.

The one thing I can say though is that men age far more gracefully, for example as a man gets older so long as he takes care of himself he just looks more sophisticated. Unfortunately it doesn't happen like that for women even if we take good care of ourselves.

It’s not easy for anyone

Men and women need to put in effort to be attractive

It’s easy to think someone does it effortlessly

But underneath they always put in a lot a of work

Skin care, hair care, fitness, grooming, diet, style, hygiene and smell

Both men and women need to improve on those to be attractive

Anonymous · Answer

I think women have it difficult in some conditions.
They have beauty standards which are difficult to fit in.
Match the colour with skin so that there skin is complimented with the dress.
Taking care of food, going to the gym (that is something everyone should if they have good limes) skin care.
Shaving, being feminine but strong enough to defend themselves, being always on guard.

Then worst of all, ignoring the whole world who wants to be with them forever but selecting who is cheating, or some other shit.

Its definitely easier for women.. Even other women sometimes find each other attractive as opposed to men.. TBF a lot of guys don't put a whole lot of effort into their appearance.. But I think men's worship of women through hypersexuality has inflated women's status quite a bit as well..

zagor · Answer

Depends entirely on what they have to start with. I've known girls for whom there was no effort at all involved in looking beautiful. And guys the same way; obviously basic hygiene is required for both.

Other people, again of both sexes, seem to be impossible to makeover.

DishLady · Answer

I don't know. Tbh there is a lot of pressure for women today to look and be a certain way; the measure for what guys find attractive nowadays is generally unrealistic.

msc545 · Answer

It is much easier for women. They have far more options with hair color and hairstyle and clothing, type and colors and choose of various heights and all sorts of other beauty enhancing and interested accessories. Men really have no such things to speak of or if they do it is considered unmanly to use them. I think women definitely have the advantage in this area.

On average women but for a guy its easier to compensate for childhood mistakes apart from lack of height due to poor sleep or bad diet.

Most ugly women had a bad diet in their childhood which has affected things like their facial features.

This can be compensated but only so much.

AviatorTom · Answer

Must be easier for men. A woman has to spend hours getting her hair and nails done, then another 30-60 minutes putting her makeup on, in order for her to feel attractive.

A man just throws on a clean shirt

Unap0logetic_ · Answer

I feel like it’s easier for men.. a haircut is a man’s makeup. But for women, it’s weight, skin tone, makeup style, body type, hair lengths, breast sizes, personality, etc… way too much pressure..

So you know most women? That must keep you busy. You are so unfamiliar with reality, it is embarrassing.

bunnyboo24 · Answer

Easier yes because its more about beauty for women and we can always get plastic surgery/fillers For men its more about looking masculine. Not really pretty.

It’s easier for a woman because all a woman has to do is look pretty, have an attractive body and wear an attractive outfit. A guy not only has to be good looking but confident and meet uncountable variables to win over a woman besides just being “Good Looking”.

Well I don't know. I was out in the city today and there was plenty of hotties (women) with average or ugly motherfuckers.

Probably easier for women at first glance, but men can level up big time with confidence, humor, and purpose. Real attraction isn’t just looks. it’s presence.
