Do you think women have higher physical standards than men do?

Question

MCheetah · Accepted Answer

Of course they do. Women have higher standards overall. Because they can. You can't exactly grow taller, no matter how much you may want to.

Most men generally just don't want a girl who is fat (and even MANY men, like myself, are fine with BBW's). This is known as hypergamy, only going after men socially higher than you, and women "getting with Chads" is the norm. It SUCKS that it's the norm, but you're insane to deny it is.

The only misconception is that men may care about a prettier face and body more, but women have higher PVERALL expectations; including height, style, hair, facial hair, as well as the same things men look for, a good-looking face and body, AS WELL needing things men don't care about in personality, such as ego, a sense of humor, etc.

Nah that's a stereotype brought on by all the men who failed with women and blamed it on standards. Women have done the same too but in reality when it comes to physical appearance there's awlays a sweetspot you can have that makes you physically appealing enough for your looks not to matter.

Of course if you're morbidly obese or can't walk with your back straight or have the skin of a zombie your chances are very low but all these things you can control.

You may not control your height and any woman who finds height to be a deal-breaker isn't worth your time. But if you are short you need to compensate: be it with style, fitness, hair, facials, anything but nothing is beyond fixing

Most people end up with someone on a similar attractiveness level. While men are mainly visual women are more emotional. So in my case and for a lot of other women, that emotional and mental attraction is so much more important than just physical attraction. in the end I would say that women hold higher standards for other women then they do men when it comes to physical appearance, and since men are very visually stimulated they hold a higher standard for what is considered sexually appealing.

DellBell · Accepted Answer

God no women are more about the emotional side of things now don't get me wrong physical appearance is important but I think it's way more important for men than it is for women. Men tend to want the most attractive woman around. It's probably just in their nature I suppose or maybe I'm wrong please don't jump down my neck if I am.

TruthBringer · Answer

Yes they do. According to OKCupid statswomen have unreaslistic standards when it comes to physical attributes of men. Men on the other hand are more mild and are much more willing to get with an average woman (something women don't want). Also, women have unrealistic standards in terms of things that men cannot have control over such as height or as many men would also add, penis size. While men on the other hand want a woman who is at least not overweight and not be promiscuous (when it comes to commitment). The standards that women complain about that men "have" are often self-induced because of social media.

wtf636 · Answer

Lol, no way.

I see hot women with ugly dudes all the time. Maybe for a one night stand they are more picky than men, but for relationships they will date an ugly dude if he has more going on. Men will sleep with someone they aren't that attracted to just to get laid, but they won't seriously date them. So it's a yin and yang type of thing lol.

I'm an average looking guy, balding (shave my head), glasses, nerdy, I am kind of tall 6'0, but I am charming, confident, and I have a good career. So I routinely get women way out of my league hotter than me. Took me a while to be able to do that, but you learn as you go.

Anonymous · Answer

All this talk about physical vs emotional. Emotions are chemical reactions to a situation, including physical attraction. I've never seen a woman become emotionally attracted to an ugly man, no matter how great his personality. I've seen women fall head over heels instantly for attractive men, no matter how big of a douchebag he is.

Yes, women react more to their emotions. But those emotions are every bit as visually generated as men's reactions to women. The biggest difference is that men are more honest about it, where women can't even be honest with themselves

ThatNoUVAtYourEyes · Answer

Not physique/appearance standards, that part largely depends on what they are actually looking for - which is to be fed and pay no rent.
It is super easy to get together with a woman if you are average looking or better - the bit that is always problematic is they'll get angry very quickly (and some severely) at any remote thought you won't feed and house them... hardly any can afford to be playful - the agenda is always about her taking full (or at least partial but long term) control over a man's resources (money, basically, but favours, time and mental/emotional energy too)

DeltaCharlieEcho · Answer

Women's standards are... different. It's not about appearances of muscle unless they're only looking for sex; it has a lot more to do with what kind of lifestyle you can give her right now. The issue is that most people are being priced out of every market in the US and women are being paid by the government the same way that men would have been able to support women in the past. Where men qualify women on her fertility and attractiveness; women qualify men's attractiveness on their ability to provide and elevate her status socially.

Instead of facilitating an economy that can provide the necessary requirements for a man to be a good man, we've taken those opportunities and convinced women to work on their own. While that did level the playing field for finances and independent opportunity, it destroyed the opportunity for families to form based on the need to.

SynthKobra · Answer

Yea. Today women get way more options than an attractive man ever could. It’s basically a skewed market. This is especially true on dating apps. Thus, woman can afford to have higher physical standards because why wouldn’t they? Obviously I speak generally but women 100 percent have more standards than guys due to the amount of male attention thrown their way on a daily basis while an average guy never gets complimented or any of the reverse.

Anonymous · Answer

No. Mostly because I actually get out into the world and observe what's actually happening out there. Turns out, that's a pretty good way of figuring things out.

Also, who fucking cares? What problem would this solve that actually matters? If I want to get with women I find attractive, I'll get a lot farther figuring out actual things I can do in the world to make that more likely. So yeah--I'll spend my time and energy sorting THAT out instead of wasting it on bullshit theoretical arguments that don't advance a goddamned thing.

hahahmm · Answer

Usually no. A guy could be butt ugly & fat but if he has the right charisma/personality he can still get almost any woman on earth. A butt ugly & fat woman can't get almost any guy on earth... regardless of her personality.

Guys shouldn't really worry about their looks. But it's best to be in good shape for health reasons.

isabellahudson08 · Answer

Depends on what they look like lol because people tend to gravitate towards people who are similar to them in appearance, but in women, some things compensate for looks, such as status and power, I just learned that in our social psychology class haha.

Novacane · Answer

Yes and no. I would say women's standards are more defined as in if you don't have it then there is no way you can get it, for example, 6'ft, you can't do anything to grow. As for men they place more physical standards but they are standards that are fluid and can be obtained, for example skinny.

HawkPerception · Answer

Men generally have higher standards when it comes to physical attraction. We are more visual, whereas females are more emotional. Most men do not care about your income/job. Females on the other hand, are more likely to be more interested in what a man can provide rather than his looks.

jshm2 · Answer

No. Quite the opposite, women are actually ready to drop knickers and everything if you push the right buttons - quicker than any horny male, or whippet in heat.

The reason most men "get none" is not the fault of the women, but their own miseducation about women.

MannMitAntworten · Answer

Judging from the men women date and ultimately marry, absolutely not. I live in a tourist town and am always struck by the sorts of men the women will attach themselves too. …and I am not talking about merely average looking women. These are pretty damn good looking women attached to some of the frumpiest guys out there … and from what I can tell, these men certainly are not ‘rich’ which would even dispel that common myth.

AdithyaR · Answer

From experience definitely not.
I've seen guys having way more higher standards, she'd not pretty enough, she's too pretty, she wears too much makeup, she doesn't wear enough, she's too tall, she's fat, she's too skinny and the list goes on.

Provided I've also seen women do the same, I've seen far less women be that critical of men's looks.
This is just my personal experience so others might have different outlooks.

backblueblack22 · Answer

Men are much more visually oriented than women so this is no surprise. This is one thing I fault about guys (and I’m guilty of it) is that we are much more superficial.

But it doesn’t help that we keeping judging each other on “what we can pull”. Also women are much more likely to chase a guy who is already with an attractive woman. The exact same guy is less attractive to them if he’s single.

SupremeWarlord · Answer

No, if you mean the ideal perfect, I believe it's about the same.

But I think they are more tolerant when it comes to physically unattractive guys, I see some men dumping their girlfriends over 10lbs of weight gain, look, I believe physical attraction is important, and so is staying fit for your partner, but 10lbs is a bit too much in my opinion.

This is just my perception, I might be wrong.

Biancam13 · Answer

Some girls go for looks and some don’t. It depends. Usually, girls who take a lot of care about their physical appearance and spend a lot of time grooming etc like men who are on their “level” looks wise. But not all.

Ninjazzed · Answer

Well, yes and no. If a woman is born ugly and can't afford to have plastic surgery then she's fucked. Any woman who has any slight facial imperfection is fucked.

A man can be ugly but still attract women with his wealth.

Xoxocutekitty · Answer

Depends on the women. Some yes. Some definitely not.  Boils down to personal preference and lifestyle choice. Typically women that work out also want a man who works out.

DWornock · Answer

No because generally men have one primary standard. That is looks which includes physical. Women have have several primary standards. Looks, money, and power. Power, includes people such as governors and senators even it they don't have a lot of money.

Women have a laundry list of expectations for men and if a male doesn’t fit even one of those boxes, he isn’t good enough. Men just want a girl to not be fat.

Women aren't visually attracted to men. They are emotionally attracted to men. Except for gay women of course.
However women are visually attracted to other women. That's why straight women like having sex with other women.
