Any guys who whine (I'm not saying you're necessarily one of them RI--I have no idea) about chicks not being interested in them have to look at who they chase. If these same guys, the whiny ones who complain about women not dating them because they aren't "classically handsome,"--if they whine because they only go after the beautiful people and constantly get dissed, they get NO SYMPATHY WHATSOEVER from me.
Double-standards shit me like nothing else. Don't expect people to look past your looks to your personality, brain, and sense of humour if you're only going to the gorgeous chicks. So women are expected to look for inner beauty and men are allowed to remain superficial pigs? I think not.
Except that is the a lie. In my experience, the
majority of women don't get into a relationship with any speed faster than continental drift without being physically attracted to the guy and I can site the countless times I've seen women (and not airheads either) go for the handsome dumbass rather than the all-around-decent-guy-who-isn't-cute. The case that spells this out comes to mind is a pair I know who are best friend and are practically joined at the hip personality wise, but she
won't have anything to do with him in a relationship (which drives him nuts and causes him to bitch no end). Why? She may appreciate his humor, personality, and intelligence, but
she isn't attracted to him and will go straight for a cute chucklehead rather than him, even though he'd be a vastly more attentive boyfriend IMHO. Yeah, they will get into relationships who are less attractive, but only after knowing them a good time, and moving at speeds that are dusted by your average tortoise.
Really, the majority of women around my age with a bit of tolerance don't want an intelligent witty funnyman. Those are bonuses, but rarely a requirement. On the contrary, they seem to want a confidant and handsome fellow much more, and will tend to chose them over the guys who would be likely much better for them, even when said handsome confidant guy is an utter asshole. Maybe in the few years, but not now. Likewise, guys my age do have a legitimate complaint, given the attitude of your average gal.
