Are women generally more attractive than men?

[Anonymous]

I see hot men at my gym. The grocery store not so much.

Women don't see that many handsome men because 80% of women chase the top 15% of men.

Where most men would be happy to sleep with an average looking woman. Doesn't mean she is better looking, just he is less picky

The question wasn't even 'do you know any gorgeous men?'. It was just handsome men.

I'm a guy in my mid 40s and I see other men that I would think would qualify as handsome almost every day.

I'd be really curious to see what some of these women look like themselves, to think that they aren't any handsome men around.

But to answer your question, no, I think think most things end up pretty equal. Same amount of attractiveness across genders

Are you straight? Because the guys that my H thinks are handsome are not. For example, he was telling me he doesn't get why his friend is still single because he's handsome. He's a nice guy but handsome? Far far away from it. The opposite is true too. I personally think that Cara Delevingne is gorgeous in a very striking way and he doesn't think so.

Wow hard no.

YES

Yes if you have a thing for RBF

Bisexual here. There are more truly pretty women than truly handsome men.
I will accept follow up questions.

Women are valued for look men by money and power. Good looking men are usually gay

There are more truly pretty women than truly handsome men.

In other news, the world's top scientists have discovered that water has been found to feel wet.

Women are much more attractive than men. For thousands of years, humans have placed a premium on female attractiveness and we can see the result of this premium every day.

This discussion does not make much sense.

If you want to date men, you normally compare the man you are interested in to other men in terms of attractiveness, not to other women.

In this post and in others, a number of women have remarked that most (if not all) men over 50 using OLD (or dating in general) are fat and bald. Again, not big news. However, not one of the women has been honest about how much attention they receive from men. The answer is likely very little when attention means having a man contact them for something other than a NSA ONS. In other words, these women may be more attractive than men their age, but the women are not more attractive than other women their age.

Cara just needs a good spanking and tongue lashing.

I used to live in a community that had a high concentration of gay men (the short north in Columbus, OH), and most of the men there were attractive, worked out regularly, dressed well, etc.

By contrast, the women were nearly as conventionally attractive as straight women.

Trying visiting a few gay bars at night. You'll see plenty of fat guys, guys wearing baseball hats and football jerseys, old guys, guys who are bald, etc. Looks just like any other bar in the western world.

Well, this area is pretty close to a huge college campus, so the demographic is probably different, but this was not my experience.
I lived in an apartment building with a lot of gay men, and a disproportionate number were really good looking.

I have dated over 100 men but only 4-5 men in real life have literally turned my head. One I remember got on a Foggy Bottom years ago. Young military guy. Every other woman in that compartment stole a glance. The air seemed to crackle with sexual tension. I began to sweat. The craziest thing was that this man was normal. He was trim and toned but not especially tall. The symmetry of his features made him striking but in a subtle way. And yet he could have had any one of us. It was my Eyes Wide Shut moment.

This is part of it. Women on Online Dating are still inundated by men trying to sleep with them (although not willing to date them) which gives them an inflated sense of attractiveness. Men find the average woman desirable, the inverse isn't true.

Women are more attractive because the “baseline” for public appearance for women is much higher than it is for men. Also, women use sunblock/have a skincare routine, so a 45 year old woman looks 5-10 years younger than a man her own age. As others mentioned there’s also a more ubiquitous use of minor interventions like Botox.

Men being overweight is also taken much more kindly by society than women being overweight, see: “dad bod” is a thing but no one fetishizes “mom bod” rather women are assessed on how well they “bounce back” after kids.

It's hilarious when men pretend to be women lol. The things that go thru their brain trying to understand female sexuality. They think it's like installing a dishwasher. B happens because of A, however D is not important.

In general, gay men are so handsome. I wonder if anyone did studies of why this is the case.
