You're not a hot woman. How would you know?

Likely some have it easy and some do not. Just like everyone else.

I speak from experience.

It's long been an old saying that guys assume that hot women are busy or taken while they sometimes sit at home lonely because guy don't approach thinking they aren't available.

I don't know how much merit there is to it, but it's a saying I remember hearing way back when I was a kid..... fwiw.

Long story short, I've sat and listened to GORGEOUS WOMEN--the one I'm thinking of specifically was tall, Italian, hot accent and all, fresh from Rome, in NYC--complain how men will not approach her. She was actually irritated by it, as she was a friendly girl looking forward to experiencing America, specifically NYC.

I told her it was my opinion that she was simply too hot (I did not mention her height, which wasn't ridiculous, but she was a model-type) and that most guys would be too intimidated or assume she was already taken. I was dating her friend, having great fun showing her the city, and she wanted that same experience with an American guy.

So yeah, I can see some hot women just not being approached by the types of men they'd fancy, it makes sense. They DO get 'hollered at' all day, though. I work with some women who look like walking pieces of candy, and can't get home on the subway without their earbuds in.
Did the Italian woman say whether men were very different in Italy? Did she remark that she found it odd that no American men would approach her? Just wondering.

I just want to mention, how there have been a few topics I have seen recently, one in regards to those "not saying hi" when passing and do not want to be spoken to. Another regarding "Introverted types", where some apparently don't want to be looked at or bothered, even by another saying "excuse me", while in the market and can easily offend. There are those who are not open or reciprocal at all, not making eye-contact and resent those who are "invading their space", as they are "trying to be alone" (in public, no less). I read all kinds of odd remarks and wondered, how the heck they work or get by in life? Obviously, they are a particular type, but how are others supposed to be aware of what is going on with them?

This made me think maybe I should refrain from being openly friendly in public, yet this is my normal demeanor - smiling, conversing and find that most are the same as myself, though I have seen those who appear to be in their own world, not smiling. My point of this is, you may be running into a people like that and don't know it.

OH, yeah...bring it to me, Biebs... lol.

You appear to be one of the realistic ones.

When I referred to men seeking "bunnies", it just seems that this is what the standard for them appears to be, based upon being inundated by such from ads, etc. In other words, something unrealistic. I don't think most ever reference seeking "average looking" women. But the reality, as I have been saying, is that is what really exists, and people should look around to see regular-looking couples.

In earlier years, I was used to getting attention, which is odd as it ceases, especially since I have always been percieved as being years younger, at any age. But, we cannot change age and was suggested by one guy here, that "a woman in her 30's is already past her prime" - lol - (a.k.a., dead, in the eyes of males).

One thing I learned early on was, that I had more of an interest in guys whose inner qualities I appreciated, over those whose outer appearance was really all they had. I would find through getting to know a person, that they would become more appealing or less, depending upon their actions, not that there are not physical traits that appeal to each of us, myself liking nice lips. But beyond features, if he is well-groomed, dresses appropriately, walks with confidence, has a nice-sounding voice, in additon to possessing warmth, humor - I can find him VERY attractive. THIS has nothing to do with how much money one makes or status. I think I get a sense of a person, yet does not mean everyone is perfect, either. (Everyone is flawed inside in some way, not that we want it to be something severe). In that 1st post (rant) of mine, one guy referred to it as a "Disney-like story" - yet what I stated is more to do with reality, than men's apparent fantasies.

The thing I notice in message boards, is that men seem to invariably dwell on one aspect. I can't recall seeing any topic where women's inner qualities and abilities are discussed, mentioned... ever.

I've never seen a very attractive woman that was lonely.

Every attractive female I know that says they're "single" is sleeping with a dude on the side. Often times I've been that dude.

We never got into that, but there were a group of Italian guys with them (these were exchange students, basically). The Italian guys met me first, and were very friendly and open, inviting me to drink with them (which is how I got closer with the girls). I noticed that the girls had little interest in spending time with their male Italian friends and insisted on doing 'American'-type stuff, so that was a huge part of it. The guys were HUGELY popular with the American girls they met, and seemed to be, for lack of a better term, 'players'.

I think the girls just wanted to experience something different with guys native to this country. I've also had a drunk Russian woman ask me out on the subway as I was heading in for work one morning (dressed like I gave not a remote ****).

IMO, men are their worst enemy. They over think and make every excuse to not approach women....the funniest part, is that for every super hot female, who is b*****, there are 10 super hot females who are very self conscious, and who spend a lot of time with friends, and not in romantic relationships....Super hot women who question their beauty because they have low self esteem...super hot women have the same problems as average women...thinking otherwise is very ignorant.
