They either find some tall dude that looks like Ted McGinley from 'Revenge of the Nerds' or they end up dating a new guy every three weeks in search of Prince Charming.

I have a co-worker that's quite attractive, intelligent and sweet. She's probably the best looking girl in our department and yet she's the only single woman.
Thank you! That's my point. Attractive women have more options but quantity does not=quality. I believe average looking women probably get less dates but more quality men.

To your point, I'd probably be more inclined to pursue the average girl assuming there'd be less drama with her. I'm sure I'm probably overgeneralizing though.

How so? Why would an average looking woman get more quality men than an attractive woman?

Some, guys are here have stated they will sleep with ugly or average women, but only because they like sex, and average-looking is bound to have less options, thus more chances for her not saying "no", as far as some guys feel.

Pretty women have issues. But so do average women. Different issues, but issues nonetheless. You see average people who have been single all their life, and pretty people who always get attention from higher tier men. Then you also have the reverse.

SO, as Dew said, it boils down to how you carry yourself, and how well you weed out the low-lives.

Because average women aren't approached as often based solely on their looks alone. Most of my friends who would probably be considered average met through being set up by friends, work (i.e. getting to know someone over time), a club of some sort where they shared some sort of mutual interests (i.e. sports league, ski club, cooking class). Not that attractive women don't meet men the same way, but they may also get approached more often by men who know absolutely nothing about them but are interested in getting to know her because he is attracted to her...therefore there may be a greater quantity of men approaching these women but they are not necessarily the RIGHT type of men for her or what she's looking for (i.e. the random cashier at the store, the teller at the bank, the bus driver who know absolutely nothing about her, etc...).

Exactly, but attractive women are going to have more low lives to weed out.

I get approached by that. I consider myself average. I am popular with old men, always was. I have been approached by a bum on a bike who randomly asked for my number. I doubt he even had a phone. I was at the doctor just yesterday, and an old man with a cane certainly found me interesting-to the point of changing seats to stare at me. When I was in HS a guy who was like 20, and still in HS approached, trying to flirt. I never had to "weed." The guys who approach me are no good just from looking, and their creepy actions.

Average or hot has nothing to do with random men you don't like approaching. It's just some men will approach anything for a shot, either for a relationship, or sex. Average women get used as much as hot women in regards to sex.

And you could say average women will have it harder because the guys who approach will be the bad boys and losers, who think because she's eh in looks, she'll take anything that approaches. But you can't argue who has it easier indefinitely, because it's an individual issue.

Attraction is in the eyes of the beholder, but here goes my liking. I have lots of attraction towards tall & well built women with gente facial features & sexy arms.

But more than looks, I expect them to have a good personality and respect my policy of remaining a vegetarian teetotaler due to religious reasons. They can drink and eat meat, but shouldnt pressure me to breach the bounds.

You still haven't given me any reason to think that attractive women would have fewer quality men interested in them than average women.
