Easier how? The beautiful, rich and famous can get replacements easily. But none of the above make an actual, successful, happy relationship easy. That is hard work for everyone.

Attractive women have it easier but only if they are smart about it. Attractive women are more likely to be used so they need to make sure the guy is after them for the right reasons. Plenty of guys will act like they want a relationship but they really don't they just want to score a pretty girl.

Relationships have always been difficult for me. Mostly because of the men I've seemed to attract.

It's probably because of the men YOU CHOSE. If I attract a girl I feel nothing for, it's on me to chose to be with her or not.

I read that and thought ..sure buddy..before or AFTER you sleep with her. Then I thought ..I was never turned down by any man that I set my cap for...BUT my best relationship was with a man that chose me.

This is called not accepting responsibility for your own actions. It doesn't matter who pursues you...you ultimately have the choice in who you go out with. Until women do most of the pursuing that's just how it is...men are the hunters, and women are the gatherers.

It's not quite like that. We "inspire" the hunters.

Finally, good looks do not equal confidence. I think that any woman, attractive or unattractive, who is confident and interesting can attract men and get into good relationships. A woman who is insecure, whether attractive or not, will more easily find herself in a bad relationship.
Yes to both points: I know a "ten" who is finally in a relationship, who has ADHD, a family who didn't help her with this growing up, had no friends in HS, used to have a kind of low-self-opinion of her worth in the dating pool - - - and my gf and I asked her how the dating scene was going (this was before she met her current bf) and she said: "What dating scene?; men don't ask me out, in fact, men hardly speak to me at all, except at work".

Right. Not only terrified of rejection, but add to that being flirted with by a "ten" and then have her abruptly c*cktease you and put you down in front of others. Over and done, don't even look at them anymore. Not worth it.
