There are certainly women like that out there, some have spoken about their experience on national TV. There are also hot-looking women who only get approached by sleazy guys who assume that because they have a naturally hot look, they're into casual sex. "Hot" and "beautiful" aren't necessarily the same thing, they can appeal to different types of guys. If you have a look that appeals to shy guys, you're pretty much out of luck.

This is one of the dumbest cliches ever written. No, hot women are not lonely and majority of guys are not too afraid to talk to this. People say this to make geeks feel better about being too afraid to just talk to a girl.

The only lonely women are the ones who are not nice to other people.

Many women who are pretty and well established are overlooked. Some men prefer lower income than theirs. Or not as high education. Many ladies give off the high maintenance b*tch vibe.

This is a myth. The types of women you describe OP (hot/beautiful women) are generally not lonely because they likely have an enormous amount of options.

As someone mentioned earlier, if they're alone it's probably because they choose to be, because she has plenty of cards to choose from.

Loneliness is an emotional state. Correlating the number of guys who hit on a woman with her emotional outlook is not very prudent.

No, it's a myth that just because they're attractive, that they have a ton of options. Or any at all.

Maybe my gender (male) is clouding my thinking but how could an attractive woman have no options at all?

I saw some movie called Elegy, and one male character tells another (played by Ben Kingsley) that beautiful women are invisible. And the Kingsley character protests. Everyone notices & admires beautiful women! Then the other guys says these women are invisible because they are never seen for who they are as people. Everyone is so mesmerized by their looks, that they never make it past the outer shell.

I imagine this would leave them lonely also....

Already explained earlier in the thread. Men are too shy to approach, or assume she's already taken (I was stunned to see how many men here on C-D make that assumption and said categorically that they don't approach attractive women, period, for that reason), or assume that if she's attractive, she must be b***y, or whatever.

I could see this paradigm to a certain extent for younger women/teen girls who are still developing their personalities and simply react to all the attention their "outer shells" get but a serious relationship or two plus a little life experience should allow nearly all women regardless of looks the opportunity to pick among a few suitors.
