Do people usually date the same level of attractiveness?

MATTDAYYYYMON · 2022-09-27T19:24:04+00:00

Yes, but not everyone is totally aware of their level of attractiveness

Contango6969 · 2022-09-27T15:38:30+00:00

More or less yeah

zapadz · 2022-09-27T17:36:28+00:00

Yes, because most people don’t have game or try enough

Easy-Ad3900 · 2022-09-27T18:29:52+00:00

Usually, attractive people gravitate towards one another but there’s always exceptions. Attractiveness is sometimes subjective and status and wealth can increase someone’s attractiveness.

python834 · 2022-09-27T16:07:05+00:00

Most people are average, so average people tend to date average people.

However, if you have a lot to offer, you can date hotties without having the chad looks.

Competitive-Link-912 · 2022-09-27T18:06:55+00:00

Not uncommon at all. Have you ever walked down a busy street in your life.

theKnightWatchman44 · 2022-09-27T16:12:37+00:00

Yes, apart from on OLD but we don't need that shit.

I have seen some ugly dudes with some pretty girls, so not all girls are into looks..

MuchFunSuchWow · 2022-09-27T21:42:08+00:00

Woman tend to date up on the social dominance hierarchy while men tend to date on their level and down

girlpearl · 2022-09-27T16:56:30+00:00

I would say it’s usually either two partners who are pretty close in attractiveness or the woman is more attractive but the man has a lot of money lol

RProgrammerMan · 2022-09-27T21:27:44+00:00

A lot of the really attractive couples I see look a lot alike almost as if they were siblings.

Archyblackcat · 2022-09-27T21:03:46+00:00

For the most part , but sometimes their charm wins .. my girl is good looking but I’ve dated hotter .. however , she’s so sweet and caring and down to earth that I prefer her over better looking, more shallow girls that I could be with

edadou · 2022-09-27T20:45:59+00:00

They do and they generally should. There are studies that show that most gaps in couples are pretty toxic. Inequalities are usually fixed by compensation. Compensation is usually a setup for disaster. I think attractiveness is not an as crucial attribute to close the gap on as say, intelligence, values and communication but it can be the source of insecurity and lack of trust - and that is toxic as Fuck. I suppose if both parties are emotionally intelligent, confident and have a mature perspective on attractiveness then it probably isn’t a big deal at all. But most people aren’t what I just described.

revente · 2022-09-27T16:25:57+00:00

Usually.

TinyBrownTriceps · 2022-09-27T20:25:40+00:00

Yeah, when I approach girls on my level of attractiveness (6-7.5), I feel it’s way easier and they’re less critical of me so I enjoy it more like I can be myself without worrying about them telling me to fuck off.

Also with the roles reversed, when I talk to a 5 or below I tend to be a bit more harsh on their flaws when they talk / etc. Even if in reality they have the same amount of flaws with a 7 I’m talking to which is exactly how it’s like when I talk to 8s and 9s as mentioned above

cryptosis420 · 2022-09-27T20:38:54+00:00

I disagree iv seen old ugly guys who pick up sexy babes. Its the way they behave around women.

cormacru999 · 2022-09-28T01:33:39+00:00

Despite the answers other people are giving, in general, sure, but its not a hard rule. And there are factors that can alter that in either direction. You could be a handsome man who doesn't take good care of your teeth, & women will refuse to date it for that. You could be an attractive woman with hair loss issues who has to wear a wig, & plenty of men might like her out & about but can't handle that she's bald at home. You can be old, & gross, but with enough $ & power, you can take advantage of young women who are either trapped in sex work or willing to make that trade. None of us have to feel trapped though, you can be a plain looking guy who's intelligent & creative & that works for you. There are women who love skinny dudes & I don't get it but its a reality. There are women who love men with dad bods, I know women who wish they weren't so attracted to the most grungy looking street kids.

Assess yourself honestly without being harsh to yourself, lean into your positives, work out how to change your negatives, & just see what life has to offer. One way that many men make themselves unhappy & angry is always hoping for or shooting for the most attractive women they see, & sure, when you're with a partner that just knocks you out that way, its a pretty exciting experience, but you could be missing some amazing, attentive, generous, sweet, kind partners because you think too big is not good, or too short, or not big enough boobs. You'll live a happier life being open to what comes instead of trying to force something or cram yourself into the right shape.

2022-09-27T17:29:28+00:00

Yes majority

2022-09-27T19:28:59+00:00

No there’s a hot one and a rich one one

Rich can be substituted with funny due to lack of supply

AO_I_V · 2022-09-27T20:51:00+00:00

I've always thought so, makes you wonder your rating from what you attract 👀

AnimalEater65 · 2022-09-27T22:55:18+00:00

I’ve felt like I was fighting way above my weight class.

Throwaway-bastard · 2022-09-27T17:15:46+00:00

Never seen a legit hot girl date an average much less unattractive guy. Most of the time these "hotties" are usually 6ish’s lmfao.

Fun3Mo · 2022-09-27T19:19:10+00:00

Not me, I usually date under me because im afraid to ask girls at my level out

SupremeElect · 2022-09-27T23:53:08+00:00

I like my guys medium-ugly. Ugly enough where I don’t have to worry about him being more social or more attractive than me, but good-looking enough where I know he’s not a complete weirdo who can’t get along with my friends and family. 😭💕

MATTDAYYYYMON · 2022-09-27T21:55:29+00:00

Usually, yes. That said the current girl I’ve been talking to is easily 10x more attractive than me. I’ve found your ace in the hole is confidence and having a sense of humor and some personality. Most women who are attractive turn 99% of dudes down because they get so flustered hitting above their weight class that they either focus on just getting tail which most definitely won’t work on 10’s or they don’t even get that far and forget how to talk to people all together.

Point is, if you want someone that’s super attractive, at least in my experience being confident and being funny gets you really far.

georgeofthejungle71 · 2022-09-27T20:16:05+00:00

More or less yes. But things can sway that. Money. Brains. Being great in bed.

(the last two definitely helped me hit above my weight for a while within a couple of circles... Once one woman talked about it...)

laugh0utlau · 2022-09-27T22:46:15+00:00

Yes but attractiveness is subjective and people have different criteria for what they find "attractive"

SeaPen333 · 2022-09-27T22:50:10+00:00

From the movie high fidelity- a great great movie “you gotta punch your weight. There’s heavyweights, middleweights and lightweights”.

JXMMY11 · 2022-09-27T23:20:05+00:00

I believe women date a little less attractive or at most same level all the time

LLORD_FARQUAD · 2022-09-27T23:30:07+00:00

Yes & no. But, I feel the person you are supposed to be with will match you. You guys will look good together. Compliment one another One won’t be uglier or prettier than the other.

Think_History_5682 · 2022-09-28T00:50:47+00:00

Not online men have to lower thier standards

hondajacka · 2022-09-28T01:04:20+00:00

Unless you have money and/or social validation.

nordik1 · 2022-09-28T01:20:49+00:00

Only if they make up for it in another way, ie: a less attractive man has an interesting lifestyle that she can gain access to, money etc.

or a less attractive girl with a guy and she has a great personality / is. very helpful / good mother to his kids etc

Artist-in-Residence- · 2022-09-28T02:49:48+00:00

Peacocks are not usually attracted to other peacocks, that's all I can say lol

In an ideal relationship without any power struggles, usually one is the gazed upon, and the other prefers being behind the camera and setting the scene.

Granny_Killa · 2022-09-28T03:10:18+00:00

Women try to date upwards, men date what they can get, as a general rule. I think a lot of relationships only happen when either party misconstrues their own or the other person's value.

littleHunter_ftw · 2022-09-28T03:55:28+00:00

I still remember seeing from high school and even outside people dating less attractive others than themselves. I reckon that alot of these relationships might have started form a yound age and eventually fell in love with eachothers traits and personality

mxlch999 · 2022-09-28T04:08:02+00:00

Witjout physical attraction there wont hve much ...including bed would be mehhh/boring its never what it matters the most but it does matter.

Woujo · 2022-09-28T04:16:16+00:00

No. Women are interested in a lot of things other than looks. Lots of hot women end up with average-looking guys because those guys are smart, confident, athletic, well-dressed, funny, successful, etc.

What's the point of this question?

Leading_Insect9172 · 2022-09-28T05:10:49+00:00

I seem to always date lower lol (23f)

Curious-Activity7904 · 2022-09-28T05:49:50+00:00

Definitely not. When I was low in my life for couple months I really looked like a piece of shit. But meet up some girls who was above my level. Tried to had all the other stuff up and it made my game. Clean/chill and give her a good game

herendzer · 2022-09-28T05:55:28+00:00

Unfortunately you can not measure attractiveness. It get more than jaw lines , teeth alignment, facial symmetry etc…. Attractiveness is more than what the eye can see. I don’t know what it is but I know for a fact that it’s more than what I described earlier- more than physical. And what makes it more interesting is different people have different level of attraction to the same subject. And to top it off attractiveness wears off for the observer. You might thing a lady is super hottie once you have her , the hotness will eventually die out within few months. And she is just a neutral to you. While some dude who just saw her may be head over hills on her

crash1082 · 2022-09-28T06:39:36+00:00

Yea unless you’re rich then you get a lot of extra pts
