Who has it harder in dating and life: unattractive men or women?

[MissSunshine2]

I vote that ugly women have it tougher, because in my personal opinion, looks are more important to men than they are to women, even to ugly men.

[whosnumber_1]

There are certain traits in a man's appearance that women will hard pass on.

Baldness
Short
Too skinny
Gut
Hairy back - or too hairy

I think some guys can struggle to date even if they are somewhat attractive.

If you aren't that attractive as a female and aren't too over weight you should be able to hook a man if you don't have a dud of a personality.

But if you are a marginal dude and are short and bald your probably gonna struggle even more.

Here we are again Miss Sunshine!

[MissSunshine2]

Hi :) I admit that this question and answer site is a welcome break from my assignments. Also, it teaches me things about other people that I don't instinctively know :)

[whosnumber_1]

I'm doing a work assignment as well... I'm right there with ya on the welcome break!

[whosnumber_1]

Is the end in sight for you?

[MissSunshine2]

In mid September or late October. As much as I'm loving this course and as passionate as I feel about putting my education and a potential job first, I admit I'll be glad when I finish and i can finally apply for a job and start working.

[whosnumber_1]

Name one thing you would rather be doing...

[MissSunshine2]

If I had a choice, right now, I'm too busy to have a boyfriend, but I'd like to have one, but I won't risk my course for that. I think I'd like to be going out for a nice lunch, with my parents, to our favourite Italian restaurant. Where the portions are smaller and we could have a three course meal and coffee.

[MissSunshine2]

how about you?

[whosnumber_1]

Mmmm. Love Italian.

[whosnumber_1]

I have a favorite Italian restaurant as well

[whosnumber_1]

I always get a cappuccino after the big pig out!

[whosnumber_1]

That and tiramisu

[MissSunshine2]

Me too :) This particular cook makes the best lasagna and he makes a delightful caramel chew (I think it's a caramel souffle).

[whosnumber_1]

Mmmm... Fine dining?

[MissSunshine2]

sort of, in a smart casual, cozy environment.

[whosnumber_1]

I can picture it. There are two outstanding Italian restaurants where I live. One has been around for like 30 years and the other maybe longer. Both are very cozy. One is more upscale than the other with amazing Carne options and wood fired pizza. They have their own bakery and the baker has been there since the place opened.

[MissSunshine2]

that sounds great. I have one close to my home, too.

[whosnumber_1]

R u in the states?

[MissSunshine2]

Australia

[whosnumber_1]

Nice! That's a place I haven't yet visited but would love to one day. It must be late for you? I'm from Canada

[MissSunshine2]

It's pretty early here. 11:11am. I've just passed an online exam :)

[whosnumber_1]

Yes! Good for you!

[whosnumber_1]

I am honored to be a part of that with you from the other side of the world

[MissSunshine2]

thanks :) I have about 7 assignments left to do and they're all due by the end of term, so I'm working my guts out. This site really helps with providing some light.

[whosnumber_1]

Dinner time here. Make sure you fill in a little exercise or walk to the store or some fresh air!

[MissSunshine2]

Nah, I don't have time to do that. I learn and work too slowly. I need music and movie clips. Okay, enjoy dinner :)

[whosnumber_1]

Ha! I'm on my own. Chicken potatoes and carrots. Lol

[MissSunshine2]

Yum. I am living with my parents, but single too. Indeed, I haven't had time to have a boyfriend and I won't until I finish this course.

[eagle1951]

both

[MissSunshine2]

How do both have it equally hard?

[Chazmatazz269]

Men have it harder in dating in every conceivable way. Physical attraction is equally important to both males and females. This is a fact of evolutionary biology true of nearly every sexually reproductive species on the planet. Furthermore, females are the gatekeepers to sex. Men have always had to prove themselves to gain access to sex. Not the other way around. The vagina alone attracts men. With limited exceptions, women never experience the kind of loneliness the average man experiences, and couldn’t last a day in the life of an ugly man. Most people would rather shoot an ugly dude dead in the face than tell him the time of day.

[sawno]

I think the level of attractiveness a guy has to hit is way higher than with girls but its balanced with girls more often wanting personality. So i'd say that gives men the advantage because for girls there is more competition on looks alone, and less men willing to date someone who isn't pretty.

[MissSunshine2]

that is exactly what I think.

[Kassandra1994]

Maybe if you guys didn't put your mom first before your girlfriend you would not have these problems!

[HelpfulWoman_]

Women have it harder because we actually have to survive the biological horror show of carrying your genetic baggage while you float through life on your own virile charm. Unattractive men just complain; we literally bleed for every second of existence.

[Kassandra1994]

Well it does not matter first I must see if we connect. In the past when I was young I try to forced a relationship with a guy and cast a love spell on him well it backfire me.

[exitseven]

unattractive women. Guys can be rich or could be great athletes or musicians and they can find women.

[_Jenny_]

@MissSunshine2 probably men

[NathanDavis]

insecure and inadequate people

[Mike_Hum]

You couldn’t be more wrong, lol.

[In_Trance]

Ugly men have a tougher and it's by a wide margin

[KostasKouvalis]

Ugly men for sure
