I don't claim that men don't care about looks at all, only that it's at LEAST equal on both sides of the fence, if not worse for the men. I have years of empirical evidence from my own life showing that women care immensely about looks.
Also, as another example, you can look through any magazine's personal ads section and see plenty of ads from men seeking "big beautiful women," but zero such ads from women seeking such men.
Sounds to me, dear, as though you could use some dating lessons, though. : - )
I'm not sure if this is supposed to be a joke or an insult. But what good are "lessons" (do they even exist?) when the women won't talk to you in the first place?
No, I was perfectly serious. You sound bitter, cynical, and in great need of " dating lessons " . You also sound as though you don't know how to chat up a girl ; let alone date one. You need help.
I know a great many women who find their husband or boyfriend " handsome " , when that isn't really the case. What makes a man " handsome " , in their eyes ? The man's intelligence and how he treats them ! Few men would EVER claim that a woman is beautiful, when she is plain.
You need to first know what it is you most want in a date / mate and be realistic . Then, you need to cultivate your best qualities , learn some social graces, and go to places that the type of woman you'd like to date will probably be. If you are having problems getting women to even talk to you, your approach must stink , you don't know how to dress. and / or you are going after the wrong type of girl.
