This is getting so old.

If women seem to bother you so much....leave us alone and stop complaining.

Very simple.

Jeez, some of these men really are out there in their thinking about women.

And yet wonder why they can't get a date.
If you cannot get a date, take a very close look at yourself.
Do you need to lose weight?
Do you need to dress better?
Do you have good hygiene?
Do you even approach women?
Are you pursuing women who are out of your league?
Are you nice to women? If you're a misogynist, they will smell it from a mile away.

Not until you explain to me why attractive, fit, successful still-desirable women have to be cut out of "the game" just on account of their age. Forty-something age men, no spring chickens themselves seem to think that being involved with a mature woman, say..more mature than themselves (ten years older) would be so highly unpleasant. If the woman is healthy and has held onto her looks, she has a lot to offer emotionally and intellectually also.

The absolute and ugly truth is this. Men have their biases too. But they only seem to be aware of it or sensitive to it, when the bias is turned on them.

A naked man is very different than his overall look.
Until you understand the difference you will never understand.

So all guys currently in relationships are above-average looking?

It's more common to be about looks in the teens, and for some, into the college years, until women realize that doesn't work. They usually learn pretty quickly from experience that going for looks can lead them down the wrong path, if they don't already know that innately.

I think another problem with this is when online dating comes into it. If I'm meeting people in person, I can get a better feel for other aspects of the chemistry equation. If I'm browsing profiles on the internet, a pic that doesn't show me exactly what I want to see gets the "nope." Too young? Too old? Too normal? Too military? Too gangsta? Nope, nope, nope.

But then I just started looking at this stuff, and I'm not thirsty enough to really need it...just kind of bored. It's not even really relevant in my life yet at this point. The first guy to try to talk to me looks old enough to be my Grandfather. Nope.

Guys are probably on there like, "She's not a beast, I'd hit it." Girls are like, "He must be in my desired age range, and have this very particular list of traits, or I'm ignoring him utterly." Although I'm sure there are a heap of exceptions to that, I can see it being that way. I can also see my profile not existing for very long. Like I said I'm just messing around with it out of boredom at the moment...

Some women also hold out on the fact that the more we know a guy, the more handsome he becomes to us when we learn more about who he is, irregardless of his exterior.

That is why intimacy is unique.

If we truly all were a bunch of programmed stupid drones made to fall for every GQ looking guy, then we'd all might just as well live an artificial life.

For guys who solely focus on their looks to get by without much to offer, say a funny sense of humor and a kind heart, I'd rather buy a battery operated boyfriend to satisfy myself.

Thank you. It's like people create these threads thinking they are somehow going to change an entire gender to conform to what they think that gender should be--namely falling all over them--or else they will cut the entire gender down. This is what happens when people lack the skills in critical thinking necessary for taking people as individuals and not generalizing as though dealing with Borg.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Before I was married, I had dated men who I thought were attractive, but my friends thought they were not. My friends dated people who they found attractive and I did not find them attractive at all.

For example: A friend of mine married a woman who was way older than him and had 3 bratty kids. She was about 180 lbs. overweight, had a stomach that hung down to her knees, a face that could stop a clock, and she smelled. She dressed like she was 80 and had 2 outfits that she wore over and over again with rubber flip flops. (Even in winter) She was on welfare when he met her. To top it off, she did drugs and he knew it! He was young, and gorgeous with a good job and many female admirers. He could have had his pick of beautiful women and he chose her. Everyone was shocked. They had a child and were together quite a few years before her drug use eventually killed her.

And that's just one example. Like I said, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
