There is a growing trend of objectively beautiful women complaining about the lack of male attention while enjoying a night out with their friends.
Never in history have I heard of women complaining that men weren’t paying enough attention to them. However, after several decades of demonizing men for their advances, it seems men have finally taken the hint and backed off.
There’s a social media trend right now of women posting videos frustrated that men aren’t approaching them romantically. Instead of exploring the reasons behind this shift with curiosity and compassion, many of these posts have a blaming tone “What’s WRONG with men?”
Maybe…

“It’s difficult being this hot,” a model from North Carolina told Jam Press, according to the New York Post. “Men think I’m too beautiful to date or worry that I’ll turn them down.” She claims men just don’t know how to approach beautiful women anymore.
While she is right about the feeling that men don’t know how to approach women like her anymore, her conclusion that it’s because they’ll face rejection is a crooked half-truth that doesn’t analyze the real fear men have when “hitting” on the opposite sex.
Rejection is likely the least of their fears. In fact, if you polled single men, they would probably take a polite rebuff over what’s actually at stake when they get the courage to talk to women.
Why are so few young men approaching girls now?
Massive shift underway where you have 8-9s yearning to be chatted up.

When men notice a pretty woman across the room, the old calculation was: Am I in her league? Can I come up with a creative enough opening line to get her attention? But now they have to worry about whether or not they’ll be labeled as creepy for even approaching, or worse, get labeled as a sex predator and be added to the #MeToo list for simply paying her a compliment.
Men are in a lose-lose situation. Our society demonizes their inherent masculinity as toxic the moment they enter this world. Their gaze is looked at as menacing. What used to be considered a sign of the relationship between men and women is now looked at as dangerous.
Our culture needs an overhaul that allows men the freedom to confidently approach a beautiful woman in the wild (not through their phone’s dating app). But maybe now that hot women are complaining about the lack of male attention, there will be a change.

Why can't beautiful women just look good without all the makeup? A “girl-next door” look is approachable and not the risk a maneater look is.
I would go up to women who weren't so done up, before I got married.
Young boys are always warned about those ‘painted wimmin’ by their fathers............ 😏
If it comes down to “Jennifer Anniston” or “Khloé Kardashian”......I’ll take Jennifer Anniston every time.............
I’m 70 and for the good of these young women I will take the risk.
Let’s seeeee...
Arthritis meds - check
BP meds - check
Viagra -check check
Old Spice - check
I’m ready to go!
“People are saying....”
There's a chance you'll get recorded and your video will be posted on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and X.
20 years ago, you can make your approach. She'll say "no". You move on to the next "target".
That's one of the most common lies smart women tell themselves about why guys don't seem as interested as the (self-described) smart women believe they should be.
Being "smart" is never the issue. Having a chip on your shoulder - constantly seeking to prove "I'm just as smart as you are" - and being argumentative is.
I've dated some very smart women, and the desirable ones are those who have everything else men find desirable and just happen to be smart as well. The problem ones are those who act as though being smart makes them extra-attractive, so they're constantly seeking to prove how smart they are.
It's exhausting.
““It’s difficult being this hot,” “
Most of the time it’s how a woman fixes herself up or conducts herself, not how she naturally is.
I have a tall handsome 15 year old son. His buddies are more or les in his league looks wise. They are tall, slim and athletic. When I am on longish drives with them, say to Yankee Stadium, their wisecracks and conversation and general back and fourth mirrors what I remember myself with one exception: Never a word about girls. No references to girls they know or might be seeing or like or even glimps on the sidewalk along the way. We’ll pass some solid ten along the way in the Bronx that would have elicited a low, quiet “ whoa check it out” from me or one of my buddies way back when. From them, nothing. Ever. It becomes very noticeable cruising at 15 mph thru teeming nyc streets. When me and my buddies were their age we all had girlfriends. It’s down right weird. Total silence.
This gets their attention................
They are conditioned to ignore else the powers that be come crashing down on their heads................
Me too! And the Mrs. got a haircut from a 30 something lady a couple weeks back that is a single mom with 2 kids trying to date. She filled my wife’s ears with stories of how terrible it is trying to find a normal, decent person. My wife came home happy and thankful.
I already have a 66 year old hottie at home, she can’t cook, hates house cleaning, doesn’t like shooting or my jokes, and knows everything, but at least she helps me wash my clothes.
Nailed it!
Here’s the issue today: A lot of Men are RELUCTANT TO COMMIT, especially those who have assets and means.
With the easy divorce culture we have, it won’t be hard to lose half of what you have a few years after marriage should a hot woman get tired of the relationship and want to be free once again.
So, these men prefer short term, no commitment relationships, and this is what I see more and more today.
“They are conditioned to ignore else the powers that be come crashing down on their heads….”
There has GOT to be something like that going on because the silence is absolute. Not once not ever have I heard any sort of reference good bad or indifferent to girls in general or a girl in particular. Nothing. It’s like a black hole. It cannot end well in my opinion…
Men are not as concerned about being turned down as they are are about being accused of something. That’s on you ladies.
