Unlike women, men are easy to figure out. Just walk into any boy’s room or work area, and you can discover a wealth of information about him. For example, the life-size poster of Jessica Alba on his door and the Playboy calendar on his desk indicate that, like most members of his species, he loves the idea of having a beautiful woman for a girlfriend or wife. The grim fact remains, however, that no matter how intense or passionate that yearning may be, a large percentage of average Joes end up with average Janes.
This unfortunate phenomenon is by no means an enigma, as the search for beautiful women has long been an ideal considered too lofty by most men; they reason that it took a real Greek to obtain a Helen of Troy, and they could never live up to such a standard. Here are some other reasons that men don’t seek out attractive women:
“I don’t want rejection.” Of course, the chances of being rejected by an attractive woman are higher than the average woman. Attractive women have the privilege of choosing the man they want from a wide variety of options; therefore, they could easily reject anyone who is not to their liking.
“She knows my movements.” Pretty women know every phrase, every look, and every body statement that men communicate because they are often confronted with it. Because she is on the plan, her success rate is close to zero.
“I have no guts.” Most men turn into shy creatures when in the company of women, even more so when the women in the group are incredibly pretty. When a man can’t move an inch, much less talk quietly in the presence of beautiful girls, how could he date one of them?
“I don’t deserve it.” Men’s low self-esteem leads them to think that since they are average, they simply deserve someone average, too. The perfect match is the average Jane, someone who understands that she can’t go the extra mile in terms of looks and wealth.
“I’ll try a move one of these days, when I have some influence.” Some guys reason that they have yet to master a seduction move or the best pickup line to get a date with the hottie. Sadly, that day never comes for most men because they put it off too often.
“What do I say?” Most men don’t have the soft-talking skills of Dr. Phil or David Letterman, which is why it’s such a Herculean task to just start a conversation with a pretty woman, especially since most of them seem to be sophisticated talkers.
“I don’t want to feel embarrassed.” Walking towards a pretty woman, especially when you are not alone most of the time, is risking embarrassment. Rejection and ridicule can follow after making a move, and for most men, it’s better to submit to a Fear Factor challenge than to stand in shame in front of a beautiful girl.
These are just seven of the millions of reasons why most men don’t go for beautiful girls, but simply look at them with their eyes and go home with someone less attractive. These reasons may be true in some way, but most of these beliefs are just fears.
