Necromancer Posted September 3, 2012 Posted September 3, 2012 I was hanging out with friends at school today and i got a bit pissed. It seems that gals are all going after the same pretty boy guys. They are dying over my guy friend that they have not even once spoken to. Face= your success with women. So when do they stop being so shallow?. All they want is the guy to have as good face as he possible can and rest doesn't matter.
Titanwolf Posted September 3, 2012 Posted September 3, 2012 At that age, "pretty boys" equate to social status. At that age, everyone seems to have a merged mentality, where one notion defines all. That notion being, acquire the most aesthetically pleasing partner possible and then become popular. Even if that's not the case, girls that age need external validation. If they attain these "pretty boys" then they have essentially, validated their own appearance through their partner. 1
carhill Posted September 3, 2012 Posted September 3, 2012 IME, in my age group, appearance is still important to a large subset of women I've interacted with since splitting up with my exW, based upon their comments about men's appearance and anecdotal dating and real life encounters. My demographic is 50's-60's, rural to suburban and predominantly lower to middle class with a few relatively wealthy examples thrown in. I must say, in defense of equal opportunity, my exW's BFF, who comes from a wealthy family, hooked up with a relatively average 'normal guy', compared to her H whom I've known for years, after splitting with her H, and is still with him a year later. My exW's BF of two years is a good deal smaller than myself (height and weight) but appears, to me, more 'masculine' than I do. So, somewhat competing datapoints, with ages in the range mentioned prior. YMMV>
kaylan Posted September 4, 2012 Posted September 4, 2012 Quit whining about looks OP. Make due with what you have and stay well groomed and well dressed. Women who upkeep their appearance will tend to care about having a good looking man no matter what their age. Why should they?
ascendotum Posted September 4, 2012 Posted September 4, 2012 (edited) When you are talking teens and early 20s, the pretty boys will do well. From late 20s on the masculinity in a man starts to appeal to the desires of women more. Less empahasis on the model facial look, and more emphasis on broad shoulders, height, deep voice, solid build, dominant personality, etc. (just another facet of 'looks') When women start to lose their looks, they place less emphasis on men's looks, imo. The flip side of this though is...at what age do guys stop caring so much about looks....never, imo. Its not like pretty boy can have a harem. I can understand you being jealous, but there should still be plenty of girls available that match up with you. Work on what you can influence about yourself in the meantime.
