I'm a man but I'd imagine this question goes both ways. I tend to get hit on by unattractive women quite often. I wouldn't say it never happens but I rarely have nice looking women approaching or being flirty with me. To some extent its not the norm for good looking women to approch men and I understand that.

The flip side of this is that its common for less desirable women (for whatever reason there may be) to complain about only being approached by guys they don't want. The consensus I've heard is that's all they're going to get until something changes and they need to readjust their standards. I'm wondering what people think of this and if you think it's the same for men.

To be honest the women I've dated in the past weren't really that great and I just kind of went with it because they were really into me and it just kind of became a thing. I've been pretty lazy in the dating game and I'm questioning how "appealing" I am before I really start trying.

Appealing is in the eye of the beholder, so not really sure how we can help you with what women, you've yet to meet, will think of you.

Girls that are 2 points and below you on a 10 point scale are the ones that will approach you.

Girls that are at the same point out of 10 as you and above will almost NEVER approach you. They will only go on a date with a guy that is equal to or below their league if the guy expresses a lot of confidence in himself and asks her out. But even then they may say no.

OP - That happens to me all the time. 90% of the guys who approach me, are either wayyyy to young, or 30 years older or extremely unattractive. I guess that's just how it is.

Yes, I agree.

The exceptions are if a man is a 9 or 10. Then, EVERY woman will approach.

Or if a guy is below average, then NO woman will approach. A woman who is a 2 does not want a man who is a 4 because nobody wants a 4, they all think they can do better.

But if a guy is a 7, then 4s and 5s will approach.

Well that makes me feel good about myself then. That would make me like a "7" or something.

By unattractive I don't mean ugly by the way, I'm just simply not attracted to them any more than anyone else. Just thought I should clear that up so I don't sound full of myself or that I'm calling people ugly.

Are you sure you're not looking for reasons to not be attracted to these folks? We often play games with ourselves when in the dating world. I did years ago by really only falling for ladies I was sure I had no shot with. It made things easier, in a really odd way. And when I got approached by a lady, I would often find something -- anything -- wrong with her. In a way, it felt comfortable to be stuck in the "I Can't Find Anyone To Date" mode. Easier, too.

Are you sure it's not a case of Groucho Marx? As in, you wouldn't belong to any club that would have you as a member?

You can approach 7s, but there is enormous competition for 7s.

Women who are true 7s are known as 'real cute' and will be approached by men who are anywhere from 4 to 10. EVERY man wants to have sex with 7s. And not too many men are intimidated by 7s.

That's the problem. Might as well hit on 9s. You have just as good of a chance.

If you are in doubt of the number of any particular woman - just check behind her ear. That's where we all have our numbers tattooed on us. That way - we never forget our ranking and men can check on it to make sure they know how hot we are.
