Oh yeah? What's the typical male mentality?

We need a consensus on "options"

Not in my opinion and observations as I think most guys go for the most attractive gal they can get and consider settling to be getting a gal that is slightly above average.

Yes. I'm proof.

Seriously, though, yes. Looks aren't everything, and even if they were, believe it or not, many (if not most) men find it easier to approach women who are less than perfect.

So that would be your "options".....

To me, although I love a man in a suit, I'd much rather be with a blue collar man.
Something about a working man, wearing a flannel, sweating through his shift...
maybe w/ a bandana or a hardhat

Options, as far as I'm concerned are never ending; it's not the quantity of men-it's the quality of men.
So for every dozen guys who come up to me & strike a conversation, & then give me their number,
I'd say I'd give maybe 3 an actual chance, & possibly give them a call.
Not so much lately though....I'm backing off from the dating scene

Default yes

Yes, but I wouldn't necessarily say compete, just that she can still be in the same league as the other lady.

As a woman with an average face and a physically fit body, I can tell you that the answer is NO, not for the same men. Men put more of a premium on looks and as such the woman with the prettier face will be approached more. Now I am sure that people will say that personality trumps looks but that only counts for something in school, at work etc - meaning, a place in which you will continue to see each other day after day regardless of choices on makes. In random meetings the real world, however, once a guy chooses the prettier girl you will never see him again thus your winning personality is irrelevant.

What happens if white collar men don't want to date you?
