Does "Legends of the Fall" represent how women are sexually attracted to good looking men that are wild risk takers, instead of smart successful men?

[Kelley1]

Good looking Tristan (Brad Pitt) was the outlaw type--wild and reckless, a risk taker. He fought a grizzly bear at age 12. He and Susannah became lovers and she always wanted him even though and after she married Alfred, Tristan's brother. Alfred was successful, a perfect husband and citizen but it was Tristan that she was sexually attracted to.

Never met a girl who actually wanted Alfred. They always seem to want the Tristan.

A lot of females’ get turned on by a guy that doesn’t mind getting his hands dirty that takes initiative without hesitation , so yes risk takers can automatically be a turn on to a girl because it’s something she is hesitant about so by him not being hesitant and by him taking lead , she is more than likely To get turned on. Guys’ that are not risk takers that are afraid to get their hands dirty , is usually a instant turn off to her because she doesn’t look up to him and thinks what the pointing being with a guy that is equivalent to her. What guys’ should understand is whether he can fix something or not just by him taking the interactive to do it , is going to more than likely turn her on , She isn’t expecting perfection she is expecting a guy that doesn’t hesitate and takes lead. A guy will have a better chance of getting laid if he takes the initiative instead of just pouting and saying he can’t do something , and just watches tv or plays video games instead.

Regardless, when you were in your twenties, you would fuck the guy on the left and reject the guy on the right.

The guy on the left would take the initiative and ask because you make it clear that you wanted him to approach. The guy on the right would not take the initiative because you would not indicate that you would welcome his approach, and your posture and attitude would let him know, don't even try.

Most males in their early 20’s think with their dicks over anything else , most females’ in their 20’s just want to be with a guy that she feels is attractive that is pretty popular , a guy that other girls’ find attractive as well. So she falls for that attractive guy that she feels is popular and has status , not realizing he mainly just wants her for sex , then he eventually breaks her heart when he hooks up with another girl , and she realizes he didn’t love her like she loved him. When he gets’ older he starts to realize how he treated girls’ didn’t Get him anywhere in relationships, so he matures and realizes he wants to fall in love and settle down finally , so he meets a girl close to his age and falls in love with her , but her on the other hand , has a hard time trusting a guy like him , because she has been burned by guys’ like him before , so the tables turn and she realizes she doesn’t want an asshole guy player anymore , she wants a guy that is opposite of him , like the guy on the right that is no longer shy or quiet , once that guy on the right lands a beautiful girl he doesn’t realize that beautiful girl is broken and damaged from the attractive asshole guys’ she use to choose prior to him , so she isn’t used to having a nice guy finally , so she ends up not trusting this nice guy and turns him into an asshole lol

[Finchie40]

Pretty much why a younger girl is better off going for an older guy and pretty much why an older guy should go for a younger girl , so they don’t experience the in between damage that more than likely will occur if they choose someone their own age

[Kelley1]

That is a bitter female version of men fuck down for sex, but they marry equals. Young women chase after the hottest guys that will fuck them, and reject guys within their league that will marry them.

For 10 to 12 years and after dozens of one-night stands and going nowhere relationships, and after they have lost their bloom, they finally realize they need to find a man that will marry, not just fuck them.

By then, their sexual market value had dropped by more than 50 percent, so the guys they rejected at ages 18 to 23 don't want them.

"If you reject guys in your prime, they don't want you in your decline."

At age 30, women settle for the boring and unattractive nice guy on the right because they can no longer have the hot, sexy, and exciting guy on the left.

[Finchie40]

That sounds pretty accurate especially from my own personal experiences and things I have witnessed thorough the years , why i primarily go is on younger girls’ that do not have that much damage or baggage , and some younger girls’ like guys’ my age , so my relationships with younger girls’ has been better than my relationships with girls’ my age , mainly for that reason. Age has never been a factor for me , as long as her and I have great chemistry and connection and we are both attracted to each other that’s all that matters. And of course she is legal age of consent.

Here's a thought. If a man is genetically programmed to be a risk taker then his chances of survival into adulthood are greatly diminished. We know from nature the first young animals to leave the safety of the nest or burrow virtually all get eaten, it's the cautious ones that survive. Walk around any graveyard and there's always high numbers of young risk takers.

I'd argue women don't prefer risk takers they prefer calculated risk takers who succeeded.

[Kelley1]

That sounds like a possibility. However, the cautious ones are not the ones the women fuck. The wild and sexy risk-takers may die at double or even triple the rate, but the few that survive fuck all the women while the cautious ones rarely fuck because the women don't want them.

[capriVib]

According to evolutionary psychology, it’s true that rebellious, risk taking men are often seen as more sexually attractive to women, but this feels outdated to me. Rationally, taking calculated risks at the right time and place makes sense. Most uncontrolled risk takers either end up dead or in prison, with only a tiny fraction succeeding. I think in today’s world, women in long term relationships look for a "versatile" man one who can be rebellious and dominant when needed but also supportive, loyal, and gentle when appropriate. This seems like a more sensible approach.

[Tempest_Flame]

it's not really fair since brad pitt i sso much better looking. but he's also more interesting than boring alfred

[Kelley1]

I agree that boring is not sexually exciting.

[blueonblack22]

Yes this is true. Yet women keep lying to everybody that they want Alfred and they don’t.
