Why do many women care more about a guy's image or status than his character?

[Staximus]

Is it just immaturity?

Or they feel like they need to improve their own public image?

In short: compensating. And it's all less deliberate than it seems.

Same reason some men seek extremely humble doormats when they lack their own humility. Your update is correct. ㅤ

Because image and status is something they can easily share with other women and increase their own status in that way. In particular, it is important for a woman's image that the man she is with be very good-looking, be tall, and at least appear to be rich. None of those things really have anything to do with character, which is more amorphous and cannot be displayed easily, if at all.

It's like they say "give me that cool piece of shit guy"

Why do men care more about her appearance and what she's willing to do. People are immature

[egan3141]

I assume you meant to imply sexually, but "what she's willing to do"... isn't that a huge part of character?

[Staximus]

Don't change the subject, just answer the question.

[egan3141]

Staximus... She did answer the question. "People are immature"

[DishLady]

What do you mean "image"? His reputation?

[Staximus]

Like how "cool" he appears to other people

[DishLady]

I hear you. No, his character hands down.

Evolutionary biology; as a species we simply are not as “evolved” as we think we are. Mental illness notwithstanding, human behavior can be fairly accurately predicted based on what we know about our ancient ancestors. This is why the haves find it so easy to manipulate and control the have-nots. You don’t even need a degree in anthropology to know that we’re all just dumb animals when you boil us down to our most intrinsic traits.

[egan3141]

Because in the modern world, most interactions are short term, and character only matters for the long term

[DryGermanGuy]

Can't confirm, if anything, that must be an American trend/thing.

[OlderAndWiser]

Perhaps many women confuse image and status with a guy's ability to provide and take care of her.

[NathanDavis]

I've never been with a woman like that

[Kenkebuttery]

I don't know.
