Girls, Are us girls hurting our chances with our double standard?

Ok hear me out. We see a guy who's 6'6" buff, aggressive, and well dressed, and our minds instantly say, "I'd let HIM take me". The thought of the raucous sex and fun party time put him in the "fun, but not for relationships" mode, granting him instant access to the candy, though we're 100% certain he's a total dick.

We see a guy with glasses, reading, not particularly muscled, and 5'8". He is sensible, stable, and he's gonna be a wealthy winner down the line. We put him in the "potential partner" box and he's not getting our candy for a long time.

So we do the bad boys into our 30's, and when we have a high body count, and maybe 6 kids and sagging too much for the hot guys, THEN we want the good guy to take care of us.

But he's not interested in a sagging slut. We have squandered our candy on bad men.

First of all, that way if thinking is not universal.


Second of all, did you know a woman’s preferences for a sexual partner change based on whether or not she’s ovulating? This is a documented phenomena where women tend to prefer more masculine partners while ovulating and more feminine partners outside of that one part of their cycles. This has to do with the parts of our brains that are still monkeys, following the instinct to reproduce with a partner based on certain attributes. Feminine men are more likely to be better fathers and romantic partners, which is why they’re preferred a majority of the time and masculine men can be good for sex and continuing the line of masculine attributes, but that’s about it.

This sounds EXTREMELY subjective. You can't speak for all women nor is this across the board. Try again.
