I see SO MANY couples where the woman is extremely attractive and the guy is average or even below average in terms of looks. I often look the guys up and it isn’t that the guys are rich or even funny. Just regular, plain guys. Women, can you please help me understand what’s going on?

Maybe they are just good partners? Reliable, devoted, kind, stable men?

No way it’s that! It’s a secret conspiracy!

I’m a tall, thin pretty blonde woman and my husband is also tall and quite cute, but he’s not the hottest guy I’ve ever been with.

However, he is an exceptional partner. He puts in effort, is caring, committed, interesting to talk to, and so much more.

When I was dating around- I was looking for someone to be my future husband and father of my kids.

It’s not a big secret. You should probably just reevaluate how you treat women if you’re feeling salty about this

I look around at all these incredible single moms in my area and I honestly don't get how they're being overlooked. As a man, I’ll tell you: if polygyny were legal, I’d be the most motivated guy on the block trying to marry them all! There’s something so attractive about a woman who’s already a mother—the 'biological clock' pressure is gone, the maturity is there, and you can just focus on the romance and building a great life. It really is the perfect stage of life.

You looked up the "average guys" (in your judgment) who get with a woman who you label as "extremely attractive"? That's weird stalker behavior. Are you mad at his success? What are these guys doing right? My guess is they are avoiding "the manosphere" because they are real men, put down the bible because they are good people who have accountability, responsibility, and believe in reality, and treat women good.

A comment I saw recently, men who focus on looks do it for other men. They (men) are doing what they (men) think is attractive, not what women find attractive.

It might be gold, nasdaq 1, but don't turn it around on a woman to entrap or use her. Take this knowledge to heart to better yourselves for life, not just six months. It's only gold if the effort you put in results in a relationship you both can be proud to call each other.your equal.

Does your firm’s value proposition not center on the delivery of ruthlessly efficient, if morally ambiguous, roadmaps designed to bypass traditional effort-barriers and secure objectives via the path of least resistance.

Yet you have to ask here why good looking women aren't attracted to you but are to people you think have less value than yourself/how you perceived you to be...

Average and below average guys overcome good looks with personality. Don't be fooled - many have $$ and once women find that out, they are drawn to them. I am well above average in looks but am shy and have social anxiety. And I am not rich. Women can sense it.

Im not going to lie and say I dont know that Ive been incredibly blessed as a female. Looking a lot like Marilyn has meant a life filled with perks and only minimal negative impacts. My dream guy, well I have two. One is Albert Einstein, Im sapiosexual and a man's mind or how he uses it, is incredibly appealing to me. Two is Napoleon Bonaparte. A genius strategist, commanding vast armies and the romantic loveletters he wrote to his amour Josephine places him at the mantle of my idealized visions of masculine attraction....yes, I know both are dead but I like what I like. At least neither would run away very far haha

Yeah I noticed this aswell and often the women are also highfliers and achievers whilst their men are average. I think they're settling as these men are probably the only ones interested in having a serious relationship. A lot of good looking men are only interested in casual relationships

From what I’ve seen they are usually very type A and date type B. Likely because they are attracted to their “fun” and/or relaxing personality style. It’s hard to both be strong type A types.

You probably are just attracted to women and not men.

Additional Posts in Relationships

A long post: seeking some perspective. My husband of 2 years that I’ve been in a relationship with for more than 8 years just woke up one day and told me that he’s unhappy in our relationship. I’m devastated because he’s never expressed anything like this in the 8 years. He’s been super supportive and loving, even when we were in a long distance relationship. He supported my career and dreams and this just doesn’t make sense. We have gotten a counselor but things aren’t getting better. Comment>

So I have been seeing a guy for 4 months. We have a pay disparity.. he earns less than I do (by quite a bit). He has mentioned a few times that he’s worried I’ll get bored of him when I know he can’t afford the same things I can. I think we are beginning to move past this, but now he’s starting to mention things like ‘I am really broke this month’, and last weekend he told me his mum has lost her job and he’ll have to probably pay her rent. I have a lot of sympathy for his situation … tbc
