CMV: women are only attracted to one type of man, just of different flavors. Men, on the other hand, are attracted to a wide variety of traits

ProbablyBelievesIt · 2016-04-21T04:35:55+00:00

How do we disprove an opinion that's essentially based on celebrating every single form of attraction any individual man may experience, while ignoring every woman's opinion that's not echoing anger phase posting?

Is this a troll post?

Seriously, you can't think of a single woman who was ever attracted to skinny men? Did you just learn everything about sex from old comic books?

I can't find them at the moment, but I recall people have posted several studies showing that women have a greater variety of tastes than men do.

every Friday night with your geek buddies

This is extra hilarious to me considering my SO hosts weekly D&D at our house on Friday nights. I know you RPers tell me I'm not really attracted to a nerd, but damn if all the great sex just doesn't make it fall right out of my pretty little head.

Shy and awkward is cute if she's adorkable or good looking. Not so much if she's an obese "legbeard" who think she's an otherkin and looks at tentacle porn all day.

I have more to say, but I'm on my phone in bed right now. I'm wondering how you decide what is just a "different flavor" versus what is a true difference. A business man versus a rock star is just a different flavor, but different hair colors are true variations that men can like? Maybe ion jumping to conclusions but it seems like you are downplaying the variability in female tastes while playing up the variability in male tastes. Tell me, do you think they're is any trait in women universally liked by men? Such as femininity, however you wish to define it. What do you think about the notion that all men like feminine women, they just like different flavors of femininity?

Sorry, gotta disagree. The physical characteristics of women that men find attractive are damn near mathematical. Waist:Hip ratio, signs of affluence (can very amongst cultures, but whatever is indicative of affluence is attractive), etc. Men are equally as generic in their arousal cues as women.

Nope, your concept of what all women like is wrong, as well as your belief that women don't have varied preferences.

Some women prefer dominant men, some women prefer submissive men, and some women prefer men who are dominant at some times and submissive at others. (Source.)
Matching in looks and socioeconomic status can be more important than bagging a man with money. (Source.) So, it's reasonable to hypothesise that different kinds of women like different kinds of men.
Celebrities voted as sexy by women have a wide variety of body types. (Source.)
This is a really interesting one. Women who are more bothered by potential pathogens prefer masculine men. (Source.) Once again, different kinds of woman seem to like different kinds of men.

They find dating harder because women would rather share and compete for a Chad than settle for an incel. That is the whole point of hypergamy. Even if you aren't an incel, dating will still be difficult because you still do not measure up to a 8+ male model. Dating is a game to women; they beat stage 7 and they move on to the next level.

My boyfriend makes far less than me and he's open about his feelings (while being alpha). I find him hot. I don't care that I make more and I like that he is open and not stuffy and stoic.

Also, I don't care about preselection at all. I like what I like, others be damned. Needing preselection is a sign of insecurity.

CMV - there is literally no evidence you will accept regarding this.

DaphneDK · 2016-04-21T09:13:58+00:00

Men on the other hand are attracted to a wide variety of things.

Men on the other hand are attracted to a wide variety of young things. Meanwhile older men have an easier time than older women.

fit, in good shape, muscular (as in not skinny nor overweight) Nope, I don't like muscular men, never have

handsome face Define "handsome" because that can mean a lot of things

tall Well, tall is good, but it doesn't take much to be taller than me (1,64m) and even if the guy is smaller, so what if he has a great personality?

broad shoulders I'm still not obsessed with looks, if the shoulders fit with the rest of your body, it's fine.

has high social status Again, no. I'd take an employee of an animal shelter over an CEO anytime. But more importantly, it's what you do with your job that counts. If you want to make a difference with the job you're doing, you instantly gain plus points with me. If you just want to make a bunch of money, go home, greedy ass.

money Have enough of my own, thank you very much.

is confident, courageous, strong If you mean the classic "hero" type from books and movies, it's fiction for a reason.

is dominant Holy hell, one of my turn-offs, actually. Why has there alway to be one dominant and one submissive part in any relationship? Why can't both be equal? Never understood that.

isn't weak, never cries in front of her, never opens up emotionally and just gets shit done If I would ever meet this kind of man, I would suggest him to see a therapist. Seriously, how does a relationship makes any sense if one part doesn't show emotions? And why shouldn't men cry?

desired by other women, has options What do you want to say with that? That this man constantly reminds me that he'll fuck other women if I don't keep in line? Well, if he wants to fuck other women he can do so, but without me at his side.

alpha, not beta or omega If your criteria are the essence of an alpha man, he can go to hell all I care. I prefer smart, warm-hearted, sensible guys over stoic muscled cheaters.

I agree. I don't really have anything to add. I do think men have a universal preference though. Men generally prefer young women with symmetrical faces, good skin, good teeth, who are shorter than them, who are agreeable and easy to get along with, who have hourglass bodies.

However I don't think men care about that as much as women care about the universal traits they prefer. I guess part of it is that it is a sellers market (women being sellers) and beggars can't be choosers.
