| | | Do prettier girls have it harder? My cousin once told me that he really believes that prettier women have a harder time in relationships than other women.
I don't know whether i necessarily believe that, but I just wanted to know what you guys think about that statement and why you would agree or disagree. | | Loveforum Breaktime | | |  | Loveforum also recommend - Green tea - Help in weight loss and decrease rate of getting cancer.

| | | I disagree. It would be really helpful if he gave reasons why attractive women have a harder time in relationships than other women. Beautiful women can get away with a lot more sh*t, hold the upper hand in a relationship b/c they can easily find a replacement, and are less likely to be cheated on. | |

| | | I don't really think attractive women have a harder time in relationships. They can become spoiled though, so I don't know, maybe it's themselves that make it harder. | |

| | Maybe the hard part is making choices like "Should I stay in the relationship or dump him and go out with one of the many other guys waiting in line for me"

| | | I dont think so. If anything, in my opinion, I would think that girls that see themselves as unattractive would have a harder time in a relationship. | |

| | | Neo: I think attractive women are more likely to marry attractive men and therefore would have no "advantage" over him.
People cheat for any number of reasons, and I know lots of very attractive women whose husbands were cheating plenty, and plenty of average-looking women whose husbands are decent, kind men who don't run around.
That being said, I do think that women who are exceptionally beautiful (or exceptionally intelligent) are at a slight disadvantage in the dating world, since men often don't enjoy feeling like they are "inferior" to women. I have found that these women often have to wait around until they can find someone who isn't intimidated by them.
I think very intelligent women (on the whole) have it harder than the very beautiful ones, though.

| | | vashti, you can apply the same logic to unattractive women. So your argument gets us nowhere. The fact remains there are more beautiful women with less attractive men than vice versa. | |

| | | By the way, I don't think men are intimidated by intelligent women. I find that most smart women are stuck up. Men don't approach these type of women just like they don't approach ice queens who think they are the sh*t. | |

How often do you see a breathtakingly beautiful man with an unattractive woman? Never. They limit their own dating circles by insisting they can only date equally beautiful women, so they are, in fact, at a numerical disadvantage.
My single, brilliant friends would disagree about men not being intimidated by them, and judging from what I can see, I would have to agree.

| | | ha ha ha, you crack me up sometimes. I suppose women aren't shallow for dating guys with money, status, or looks? I'm surprised for someone I consider wise you would make such a comment. | |

However, one could argue women who marry for money are not being shallow, but practical.
