Bull, it's because women make themselves eye-catching by wearing make-up and the clothes they wear. Women are not 'naturally the most beautiful sex.'

Reality: It doesn't matter. Girl could be busted or overweight with nice boobs/legs/ass-men will look. Women dont even have to make themselves look nice. Put an average looking girl without makeup on in a low-cut shirt-doesn't matter what else is going on.

Because of this it's common for women as well as men to believe that women are the more objectively beautiful sex. Although I notice women way more than men, and am turned on by them, I can objectively say that neither gender is objectively anything. It's in the eye of the beholder who is in turn influenced by socio-cultural conditioning.

Women are not the more attractive sex. Men are the more sexually driven gender. That's the issue. Re-wire men to find things appealing about a women besides her physical features and everyone would be on an equal playing field.

I think women are naturally better looking. I don't think men should start wearing makeup, but it's true that clothes make a difference. When a man dresses nice, I notice. But guess what? Most don't!

Of course, its a small sample size. But IMO it applies alot in the general population.

Maybe these days they might appear superficially so, but when I look at old photos from like the 1880s of people the women look as plain and homely as the men. Indeed actually the men could look quite 'pretty.' A woman had to be a real stunner to stand out. Take away their makeup and fancy clothes, and a lot of these 'hotties' would be plain Janes. I can spot natural beauty fairly well, a lot of men are oblivious to it.

I don't really get out much, so it's not like I've been exposed to a ton of women. It's hard to gauge my perceived level of attractiveness (personally I think I'm not bad looking, perhaps average to slightly above average) to women in the situations where I go out, because I don't often chat up women and mostly just feel like I blend into the background. These disheartening experiences don't exactly enthuse me into going out much.
Again - what are you basing this on? It seems you have limited experience in this area so I'm not sure what you are expecting.

Like for example, I'm 25 years old.

In my opinion if I did an experiment and took an average 25 year old female and showed her a random sample of 50 guys In her general age range 21-27 she would find a much smaller amount of these men attractive then if I Took a 25 year old man and gave him a similar sample(but 21-27 year old Females)

Men are just easier to impress when It comes to physical appearance

I've said this a number of times and people either overlook it or ignore it.
