you feel threatened because you think she will eventually find someone else.. or she will be hit on and eventually go with someone else.

It's hard to say... usually, people attracts people in their 'league'... it's rare to see a beautiful woman with an ugly man..unless he's got ton of money... and usually if he has, that means he's extremely smart...

but for 'ordinary people' they usually stay within their 'league'..

I think I'm below average in looks but I have ONLY dated quite attractive ladies...and sometimes had to fight them off.

The secret has always been that I don't slobber all over them and I treat them with respect. I can't believe the idiotic ways men come on to beautiful women and the ladies seriously get tired of it. I treat them like anybody else and they go for that in a big way. Also, I usually don't ask them out until I've known them for a while. Just because a woman is drop dead gorgeous doesn't mean she would make a good date....or even a good friend.

I'm afraid that we're in an age group where looks play an important role.

Not that I am special (I would like to think that I have inner beauty - because that's whats important), but the other day a man came up to me and started talking to me (in a retail store).... within 3 minutes he said "I am very well endowed." WTF? Why do people think they can be disrespectful? What a wanker!

Not talking about society in general. I'm just saying that in our age group (I'm 20, you're 19 if remember what you said in another thread correctly), looks will play a very important role. Guys want to be with that hot girl, girls want to be with that hot guy. I've only ever seen a handful of dudes my age with a girl whose looks are in the average/below average range.

Geeez--
Most men are NOt threatened by beautiful woman at all. We stay away or are turned off by their belief in their bloated social value. Their massive egos and their superficiality is enough for me to go talk to someone else.

If I sense the "princess" mentality in the initial convo, I just cut her off and walk away.

Most beautiful women are not nice people, and they do not have to be nice because so many chumps out there fawn at them at first sight. Because beautiful women can treat people badly and still get what they want from dumb guys, they have little incentive to be kind, humble, or even nice. For me, I try to avoid beautiful women and I do not give them an inch if they try to pull any BS with me.

Although a beautiful woman may have power during her youth, age is the great equalizer. It's hilarious to see how many single women there are in their 30's and 40's because they always felt they could better--now they're alone!

Also, beautiful women in Europe, Asia, and South America tend to be more nice and kind than their counterparts in the U.S.

it took my current bf 3 months to ask me out on a date because in his words
"i didnt think i had a chance with u, you're out of my league" ive never understood that way of thinking, why not take a risk and ask the person out you never know what may happen. im glad he took that risk.
