Based on what Ive seen average looking women are more valued to men than average looking men are valued to women.
Nah. Even the studies we love to quote around these parts say otherwise. Most indicate that men place a much higher value on the looks of a woman than women do in men because women take into account other factors in valuing men (finances, personality/sense of humor, same ethnicity), whereas men care primarily about looks.
But of course those studies only present a tiny fraction of the story. Ironically it can be said that a lot of men do the EXACT shyt they're complaining about women doing: in their youth they chase horrid women and only start thinking about average "nice" "wifey" chicks when they are ready to settle down, in many cases after they have wasted countless emotional and financial resources on "bad" women because we all know how good "crazy p*ssy" is and the like.
What's funny to me is how no one sees these parallels between men and women. Ya'll really think the majority of men are innocent nice snowflakes who are merely waiting on a chance to do right by an average female if only she would stop crawling through glass for monsters. It really is Bizzaro Land outchea. Lol!
Meanwhile, the reality is that a lot of men and women pursue or make themselves available to mates they deem the most attractive regardless of character until they deem they can't get away with that risky behavior any longer or until they become so burned by this that they no longer have any positive associations with the opposite sex period.
That's why u see so many average people getting caught up with a$$holes. Some escape unscathed but others end up bitter and scorned.
Most reasonable people avoid this by valuing more than merely looks in a mate or by taking responsibility for their poor decisions and moving forward.
