Maybe you should choose to live elsewhere since you find the women in Seattle so unattractive.

I completely agree!!! I am female and from California (southern california). My husband and I moved here about a year ago and we have kinda brought it up in passing as well. People here un very unattractive for some reason. He is from the east coast and we can't figure it out. I have seen so many overweight women that don't even try. Most of the women I meet wear no makeup. I've actually asked my husband "have you even seen an attractive girl here? " So listen, it may not be worth conversation, but it is TRUE. It is what it is...

So you answered your question yourself then: Seattle girls look "unattractive" to you because they don't look like prostitutes with thick layer of makeup like SoCal girls do. Remove makeup from SoCal girls and they gonna be as "unattractive" to you as Seattle ones.

I respect Seattle women for not wearing makeup - don't like it - f.. off, they are not gonna paint themselves into something they are not like California women do.

Guys, think of it this way, too: If you're having trouble finding an acceptable mate, maybe the problem isn't them....maybe the problem is you. Maybe the local women find you equally unattractive. Any relationship based solely on the basis of "looks" isn't going to last. Even if you marry a woman who looks like a superstar, after she has a couple of kids and ages 20 years, is going to look just as saggy and old as everyone else. True love and partnership comes from sharing mutual goals and interests, not from looking "good enough" for someone to express an interest in you. I think some men have unrealistic notions that women should look like supermodels or porn stars. It takes a lot of time and money (plastic surgery!) to maintain those standards. I would rather have an average looking wife who is committed and loving, than a wife who is going to burn up all my money at the salon being plucked/waxed/trimmed/dyed/painted, etc, to maintain some ridiculous standard of "beauty". I think fake looking women are extremely homely-looking, I guess beauty really is in the eye of the beholder.

I don't think we are talking about marriage material though, it was really just looks. I am a designer and before I moved here I had to try and find 3 models for a photo shoot-only THREE! There were pages upon pages of good looking men in wonderful shape and I could only find one female that was acceptable by model standard. I ended up bringing them in from BC and they were still out of the mold. Couldn't get one over 5'7.

Maybe guys complain about the women in Seattle, because there is something to complain about? Why does it always have to be the guys fault he doesn't care for the women in Seattle. As if Seattle women are infallible, and any guy who doesn't like the must have serious issues. Get off of it, that's just deflection. Seattle women wouldn't make top 10 most desirable women in this country list, no matter how far you try to stretch your imagination. A big part of it's looks, but the added part is attitude. If you don't look that hot, and you have a crappy attitude, don't expect guys to fall all over you. Sometimes a good attitude can compensate for bland or below average looks, but I haven't met too many Seattle women with award winning personalities. I've been to a few major cities, and the attitude of Seattle women ranks as the worse. I currently am living in the Bay Area, and women are friendlier, nicer, and just in general are more pleasant to be around. I'm not saying a woman has to be a ho and go to bed with me the first night. But at least give me some sort of conversation. Women in Seattle don't smile, except for the fake smile. They don't try to look nice, they don't try to have fun, they are offstandish even if a guy says "hi" to them, etc. Now a lot of this has to do with mannerism, and maybe if a guy took more initiative he could bag it. But I be damned if I'm going to continue to talk to anyone with a crappy attitude. Life is too short to try to decrypt what a woman DOES versus what she means. And in general, not worth anyone's time. Yeah, you can keep saying it's the guy and NEVER the woman. In reality it's probably a little of both. Any guy who has had success in other cities, but all of a sudden strikes out in Seattle, well that isolates where the problem lies. And as for the weather, Seattle's weather never made me depressed. So apparently women in Seattle are weak willed if they're going to let a little clouds and rain create a bad mood.

Exactly what I was thinking. It's one thing to say " blah blah group isn't attractive "; but to say Seattle women aren't attractive because they don't wear makeup is another thing. I don't wear makeup because I have facial features that actually look above average with just a little lip gloss and, literally, nothing else. I'm 29 and still get carded at bars (lahv eht!), while my girlfriends get the wave to come in immediately. Wearing makeup (more than a moderate amount) tend to be for women with average looks who can't get away with a little lipstick and/or eyeliner. And there's nothing wrong with being in the middle of the bell curve, but it's definitely not the sign of a naturally attractive woman.

I'm in agreement with you there. I'm from California, and I see nothing wrong with Seattle women physically. The difference here is that it's socially acceptable to wear casual or outdoorsy clothes and wear little to no makeup. I'm a married mother of two. I finished my graduate studies at UW recently, and I thought that many of the young women on campus were stunning. Their faces were fresh-scrubbed, with hair pulled back mostly, but they were fit and self-possessed and full of personality. Some were very blonde and very tall, some were delicate and Asian, but regardless of the different ethnicities on campus I would see many very pretty young women every day. I never met a female professor at UW who wore make-up. My eyes have adjusted to Seattle norms, and I think that the fully "done" look would look desperate and garish to me now. I feel sorry now for women who feel pressured to gild the lily with hair dye, fake nails, tanning booths, and a full painted mask to face the world. Just looking at the girls coming out of the high school when I pick up my sons tells me that Seattle stock is fine. Many of them are extremely pretty, even without a speck of makeup and clomping along the sidewalk in their ubiquitous leggings and cozy boots. Most wear their hair long and straight, just as it was when they left the shower that morning.

If any single females thinking of moving to Seattle are reading this, let me put it like this: men in Seattle overall make interesting platonic friends. They are the kind of men who are good for sharing music. They are good for holding your purse for you while you change a flat tire on your car by yourself. They are good for cooking organic, soy-free, meat-free, lactose-free, sugar-free, non-processed meals with and sharing recipes. But not the kind of men that you'd really care to date, and certainly not the kind who will do much for your libido. And from the posts here, it looks like the men are perceiving the same about the women here.
You nailed it, spot on.
