Although it's hard for them both, I feel that hot guys have more of a chance than women when it comes to relationships. I'd say attractive women have it harder. As I've seen over and over again, is that they have a hard time holding down a relationship. Although they get all of the attention, and have most things handed to them, they miss out on love because people focus on their looks rather than what is inside of them. People are only friends with them, because of their looks. Guys only approach them because they want to have sex with them. I find these people actually, very lonely, insecure, and indecisive. Take Kim Kardashian for example...
The issue with both is not that other people ONLY look for their looks, rather that they only have that to offer most of the time. The reason why men leave hot women is simply because their body is all they had going for them. I guarantee you if they were more than just a pretty face, they would stay.
its because most men are intimidated by really attractive women...and other women are intimidated by them. I have this very same problem even though I am nice and considerate...
women because an ugly man men will speak to, women will date based on personality. Women even ugly men will chat to the pretty lady over the ugly one, and women even like speaking to pretty women. No matter what a woman accomplishes she will always be judged on her sexual appeal. 'oh she's hot and successful mustav slept her way up' ' she's one hell of a leader but boy is she an ugly mofo'
i believe that women allow themselves to be coerced into certain behaviours and the whole image concious lifestyle the media impresses upon them...they then channel that down into other females, thus completing the cycle...women are statistically more concerned with how other females view them than guys...this is why we call you all crazy lol
its not this its natural, if a man sees a gross looking women they eww with their friends just as girls do, ts because they are the fairer sex so evoke a natural response of rupulsion if they are not, guys can't get over when they objectify women, only if they step out and realize their actions. As for girls- just like a guy might want to hang out with the 'cool guy' (inc work), girls sometimes naturally chat with prettier girls more easily, unless a shalow girl, this is usually ovrcome 1 min in
Really attractive women, she's likely to have endless amounts of guys coming over to her, and most of them will be there for her looks, she'd also most likely get abused or even raped. Sounds drastic, but I've known it to happen purely because of how she looks. They even had stalkers. Personally I'd say it'd be confusing.

bla, bla, you're saying attractive women dump men because the man doesn't like the women's personality after... no, he just wanted to get some p**** and when the women opened her mouth to talk to the man (because well if they are in a relationship that's what happens) the man couldn't handle it, because all he really wanted was some pussy. This is so bad, but I'm pretty sure some men go for the less attractive females for long-term partners and attractive ones for short-term. Women do that too actually.
Being attractive only helps when you want to have sex, I guess get a job, and other stuff. But, in order to sustain a long-term relationship, both parties have to bring something to the table. They can't just be attractive, because looks don't keep love going at the end of the day/night period and that goes for both sexes.
Definitely the guy, because no matter how handsome you are, it will always boil down to what your annual income is.
Hey, don't look at me like that... I was watching Science of Sex yesterday and they did an experiment where a male model was put up against a chubby unattractive guy. All they did was tell random women on the side walk that the chubby guy made 3 figures and that the model made 2... let's just say the unattractive guy suddenly became THAT much more attractive.
Absolutly not true. Women adore Real good looking men... have you ever seen how women look when a very hot Man is around? Its just really good looking men are not very commen and very often assholes but women are extremly atracted to them. We can't help it. Its in our biology. We want the best genes. Even if he sells watermelons on the highway.
What does it matter? by the time women hit 40 their looks are long gone, or on the last of their proverbial legs. The attractive men can squeeze out another 10-15 years at best.
After that, our faces all resemble a wrinkled scrotum or a satsuma that's been left out in the sun.
What about girls/guys who were ugly ducklings as kids and than just transformed into the most attractive people? Sometimes, they've been an ugly duckling so long and are deeply hurt, that they don't realize people find them attractive and their confidence is low about their looks, but not about who they are.
both, just in different ways; guys can't just be good looking, they have to also be a MAN, a real man, not an adult boy.
but a woman has more pressure on her to keep her looks. or else the guy, if he's not a good guy, might reject her eventually. and some women stress about this a lot.

it is a lot harder to be taken seriously in the work place as an attractive women people assume you are an air head and that there is nothing else about you apart from your looks, you have to work twice as hard to prove that you have a brain as well as a pretty face
you must be joking ! every other situation in the world?! I don't think so, that is utter crap, and men don't approach hot girls either they assume that you are going to think you are better than them, or they assume you are high maintenance, the only ones that do approach hot women are the players, so you have to do the approaching, also a lot of women will be wary of you thinking your out to steal there man, or jealous and bitchy
thats right, men don't approach hot girls, you are right about that. But its not always the players out there that approach hot girls. Of course the hot women are going to think that. Because they label them that way. "oh he must be a player because he has the balls to talk to me." when really he's dying inside.
And sometimes the guy that is dying inside talking to her, she eventually can tell (after a while) and then labels him as a tool and not a player.
no I didn't label them I kept hoping they would prove me wrong, eventually I started approaching the ones who I liked and I thought wanted to talk to me but daren't and eventually I found someone who I married, I have more female friends now I am married because I am not seen as the threat any more, but I have not had an easy ride far from it, I have to work twice as hard as everyone at work to prove myself university degrees mean nothing if you don't look like you have a brain, I once purposely
gained weight in an effort to fit in better, your opinion is based on sweeping statements and observations without any real knowledge of what it is like, also I feel you are slighty biased and your summary at the end of your question is a load of rubbish, not all women want to get by on looks alone, an attractive women doesn't necessarily have a bad view of men and I didn't marry a loser I married the man I love, look at the answer above and the ridicule that is given to her answer then imagine
you are that women being followed and phoned and sometimes even threatened, I have been there and he wasn't just someone who liked me he was scary , the police eventually sorted it but in most cases men are bigger and stronger than women and knowing some nutter is following you around is not very bloody nice, don't dismiss it as someone trying to hook up with me, a normal man after a hook up does not go to those lengths, of course it is my fault for looking after myself and not playing my looks
down, I mean what else should I expect, and of course the natural assumption is I am loose and fair prey despite making sure I never wear anything in the slightest bit revealing, ahhh f*** it rant over
You know, I could bring up tons of news stories that didn't make the main headlines in major news (because of feminist groups) about how there are women serial killers, and the like. But you know what? most women and most people are not crazy killers. And because there are so many men who follow women around who do it because they like the girl, 9 times out of 10 its not a crazy murderer.
"not all women want to get by on looks alone, an attractive women doesn't necessarily have a bad view of men"
Thats right, they don't necessarily have a good view of men either. And I didn't say all women, or all hot women, most attractive women.
"I kept hoping they would prove me wrong" that statement suggests that you already have a preconceived notion that they are a particular way, aka (guilty until proven innocent) otherwise there wouldn't be any requirement of proof on their part.
I can tell you the man following me around was crazy, and is now nice and securely locked up, I am not saying there are more crazy men than women I am saying as women it is scary when a man twice your size threatens you. I have a good view of men for the record and maybe I worded that badly but what I meant was I never labelled anyone they all proved in the long run that they were players, not saying all men are bad, you are full of assumptions and it is you with the preconceived ideas
"I kept hoping they would prove me wrong" yeah that's completely worded wrong/badly you're right. maybe its a Freudian slip.
most people size others up pretty quickly based on appearance alone. Its not necessarily a bad thing. But if you say that you don't do that, most people aren't going to believe that you don't. Simply because most people do.
The both get equally harrased. Its not true women won't approach hot guys. They do it all the time. It only takes one really hot guy to make women go shameless if you know what i mean. And money and status has nothing to do with it. Just raw looks. I went once with a very good looking male friend of mine to a danceclub... Man i never saw something similar. Litteraly gorgeous girls huging him and trying to catch his atention and some of these girls were really hot. It was amazing. He was beeing so harrassed lol. The other guys in our group were very jelous but well they were used to it and still friends with him haha.
It really depends on the type of people involved. For myself , I have always been the better looking one and I don't want to sound snobby or superior, but all the guys I've dated seem to have some ugly gene or just not all attractive but there were other traits I liked.
Great argument by the way, I have experienced those principles. I think the reserved, attractive men have the most trouble. We are supposed to be "cookie cutter" personalities and drives. And it is usually, all about them. Men get categorized as "good looking or rich." Kind of limiting and simple if you ask me. Plus you can't comb your hair or the metro-male persona's will seek you out. Scary huh?
i believe that women allow themselves to be coerced into certain behaviours and the whole image concious lifestyle the media impresses upon them...they then channel that down into other females, thus completing the cycle...women are statistically more concerned with how other females view them than guys...this is why we call you all crazy lol
And for that fact alone, I'd say a pretty girl has it harder.
It's sort of funny, attractive guys can attract positive attention from even heterosexual men: they generally see the more attractive guy as a natural leader. Attractive guys can enhance natural charisma by being... Well attractive. Not to say that he's a hoe in for getting the job over another guy equal in charisma, but otherwise nothing special, but it's an advantage.
Yes there is some effect of tall poppy syndrome... But I don't see why he should be labelled as a player right off the bat.

All being good looking got me was raped by a gay man when I was 17 and most men and women assuming I'm a manwhore. I flirt with a lot of women because I want my female friends to feel better about themselves and its easier for people to have fun and be happy if things aren't all stuffy and serious.
But really I'm a virgin other than that, but most of my nerd friends would say I'm a jerk because lots of women are friends with me. Sometimes I want to scar my face, but really it makes me sad sometimes if I think too seriously about how shallow young women and men are.

I think unattractive women have it the worst. Attractive people will end up with someone. It may be a sh*tastic relationship but at least they won't be alone. I always seem to see unattractive men with women so they come in second. But unattractive women... ALONE. Just saying.
Ya I always think hot guys are players caz I bet girls be all over him then later I find out it wasn't the case and I feel bad caz I missed my chance once again..!from those experiences I learned to just give the guy a chance 1st and I'm talking to a guy like that and its actually going ok...except I'm still in shock he'd wana still talk to me
Actually attractive women have this problem when they too are shy and want the attention of an attractive guy who is also shy. I find that growing up being considered attractive, regardless of your gender, you get used to relying on your looks. You often forget or never learn how to be the first to make a move and so your doomed to be stuck with whoever had the balls to make the first move, rather then being with the person you're truly attracted to.
Good looking women. Why? Because they get overlooked. People don't think beauty and brains can mix. They expect attractive women to be models, marry a rich man, and have attractive children but that is not the case. (I live in an area that has many different extremes of people so I kinda see it all...)

All they did was tell random women on the side walk that the chubby guy made 3 figures and that the model made 2... let's just say the unattractive guy suddenly became THAT much more attractive.
the problem with that study is its only based on trivial things. Of course they are going to pick money second.
Women pick behavior first, then money second.
Since they don't know the guys, they are going to pick money. Obviously.
really? i'd always pick the better looking guy over the ugly one. I don't care how rich a guy is. if i am physically repulsed by him I won't do it.
Absolutly not true. Women adore Real good looking men... have you ever seen how women look when a very hot Man is around? Its just really good looking men are not very commen and very often assholes but women are extremly atracted to them. We can't help it. Its in our biology. We want the best genes.

attractive men can squeeze out as many years as they want.
Exhibit A: Hue Hefner.
I think that's more to do with money as you mentioned earlier
right, but what is the value of looks if you can attract the opposite sex without them anyways?
Besides women don't value looks in men like men value looks in women.
What about girls/guys who were ugly ducklings as kids and than just transformed into the most attractive people? Sometimes, they've been an ugly duckling so long and are deeply hurt, that they don't realize people find them attractive and their confidence is low about their looks, but not about who they are.

This usually evens out though. Notice in every single other situation in the world, except the workplace, womens opinion matters more than mens.

Ill give you one example. If a girl tells you that a man is good in bed, are you going to believe her?
Now, if a man tells you that some guy is good in bed, are you going to believe him over her?
thats right, men don't approach hot girls, you are right about that. But its not always the players out there that approach hot girls. Of course the hot women are going to think that.

2. That doesn't negate the good that he's done in his life, and if what I've heard is true that was pretty normal, anyway.
I agree with this answer
I read through all of this and most of the answer threads, and the only thing I feel compelled to say after all of that is "Shut up."

not true...if you are a big boobed blond bimbo, then maybe your brains will be overlooked, but not for moderately attractive women...
@jkjk123 and you assume she is a "bimbo" because she is blonde and has big breasts? how judgmental and only proves Fiction's comment
