Why do some men ask "why is a pretty woman like you still single" ?

Because being attractive is a help when your focus is to find a mate. Once again things have changed. Casual sex was not a female focus for many years. In the past, finding a mate was the primary objective and pretty women got snatched up quickly

My thoughts exactly that looking good isn't good enough. That's why I was confused about his comment. it's a plus but men need more

Early in a relationship a man might think that looks are the most important ting but that is all superficial and just a way to get him around you because then he will be close enough to see YOU. He will see how you treat others, Your responses to stressful situations. See if you are a mature individual. Give it some time. You got this.

Consider fishing lures. They are brightly colored and have spinners to create flash, some rattle. Back in the 70's there was a lure called the Hawaiian Wiggler which had a ":grass skirt".

They're trying to give you a compliment and don't know much about you beyond what you look like. And they may not be all that skilled at or comfortable with complimenting a woman. Just accept the superficial compliment as part of small talk.

Or you could have fun with it and tell them it's because you're a psychopath with violent fantasies and you've killed your last three partners. Then ask them for their number.

Said another way, they are oblivious to the fact that may be a hot button issue for a 33 year old woman if she's the last one in her friend group to find someone or maybe she's just gone through a breakup, or maybe she's prioritizing a career. No harm intended. They're just not the brightest candles on the birthday cake.

Cause some think all a woman needs is looks to get a man. Just like some women think all a man needs is money to get a woman. It's shallow and sad.

They mean it as a compliment but there is a better way to say it

Because it’s a safe way to compliment.
