Why are there so few attractive men?

[Anonymous]

I live in Los Angeles and although I occasionally come across a good-looking group of girls, people here are in general not attractive and I rarely, if ever see attractive men.

It's because what you consider to be "attractive" is likely to be what most in society see as a 9 or a 10/10. A number of recent studies show that, especially due to media (movies, TV shows, magazines, celebrity culture, etc.), the average women considers men of 8/10 looks to be "average" or below average - when they're well ABOVE average.

Especially in LA, where there are a lot of above-average-looking guys, women's perceptions of male physical beauty is very skewed.

Physical attractiveness tends to be a standard distribution, with the vast majority of people being very close to average, and the pool of people getting exponentially smaller as you get further from the middle. This means that the number of 9/10 guys is super tiny (about 0.15% of all men in a given age range), and the number of 10/10 guys is about 0.0001%. That makes these men incredibly rare, and also in incredible demand, and as we all know about supply and demand, when supply is low and demand is high, the person with the supply can command a VERY high "price" - meaning that such good-looking, universally attractive men will attract tons of women, and while they may have casual sex with 7s and 8s, they'd only consider dating a 10 - if they accept a relationship at all. And when we think about a woman who is a 10, that generally means an all-natural, feminine 23-year-old with a hot body and a pretty face - regardless of how old the guy is.

Average Social Market Value (SMV) by age and sex.

Assuming your age listed here is correct, and you're in your early 30s, you need to realize that YOUR attractiveness number has fallen significantly over the last 5 years. If you were an 8 when you were 25, you are likely a 5 today - assuming you are in good shape and have no kids. I know that's harsh, but that's the reality. Women in their 20s have massive amounts of Social Market Value, and can demand and get very high value from men - but that SMV plummets rapidly as you get into your 30s, because you are nearing the end of your ideal fertility window, and there are younger women available to replace you who are still early in their fertility window.

Few women are taught when they are young that their SMV is so front-loaded - feminism has done everything possible to bury this information and deny it's existence, and to blame and shame men for it, but it's the truth, just as it's true that younger men with no status and resources have very to attract younger women with for long-term relationships or marriage - and that's just as harsh for men, especially when are sexual peak years look a lot more like the pink curve than the blue one.

Watch this video by a former match-maker who had to stop match-making for women, because their standards were so unrealistic. You might relate to some of what she's saying...

Any time you go to a big city like LA, you'll see all sorts of people. But to answer your question; a lot of it is because women are pickier than men. Studies show that the average woman finds the majority of men she sees on the street unappealing. Men and women are also found attractive for different reasons, and the reasons men are attractive are generally not things you can rub a little makeup on.

I see attractive guys everyday i leave my house. At the grocery store? Yup. Walking their dogs? Yup. At the dentist? Hell yea. THE dentist? Hehehehe oh yeah. Forreal tho maybe you don't have an eye for them but they're everywhere.

Generally speaking men don't tend to care about their own appearance and maybe they were not encouraged to groom themselves and get some good looking clothes, shoes, a good haircut and all that. Some of them said so themselves.

Yeah... go to the... richer or nicer parts of LA or OC. plus not sure what you think is attractive so... that could be the issue too. if you went to LA thinking everyone looks like people from Hollywood well... That's on you. My assumption for where all of the "attractive" or fit people are at the Gym, Rock Climbing, Swimming, or doing some kind of sport. Or a Gay bar or strip club.

so there you have it. go forth and... conquer?

Your standards on what an attractive man is is too high. For women in general, it's too high. Women judge men more harshly and have a higher standard than men do. One of the reasons it's harder for a man to get a date than a woman.

You're definitely too picky that's why because LA has a population of nearly 4 mil. Also LA isn't the whole world so don't generalize your question.

[simonqq]

That seems impossible but I wouldn't know never been there.

[boggboss]

Could be your standards or what your percive as attractive

[cloud9vortex1234]

I think you're really picky. LA has a lot of people.

[pizzalovershouse]

Beauty is diffrent in every bodies mind so maybe other girls night think different

[johnsmall23]

Maybe you're just picky and they have to be 10/10 for you to consider them attractive?

[In_Trance]

Because you keep looking in the same places for the same thing. Change your game up

[Marilynjuana]

When I was in LA I saw attractive men everywhere ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[Dragonstarterplus]

Because I don't live in Los Angeles

[mich15smith]

I don't know maybe you aren't into men

[Giggltr0n]

[GreenGold1992]
