I don’t think that is necessarily true. Men (with good intentions at least) will go for who they find attractive, but at the same time many are too afraid to approach women they find very pretty cause they don’t believe they stand a chanx

Yes, maybe, and yes

Lmao at the idea that less attractive women are low maintenance. Ah to be that naive again But to answer your questions directly: 1 yes, 2 no, and 3 maybe (if he’s a dumbass and until he learns otherwise)

The high maintenance thing is the only one that might be remotely true but not all pretty girls are high maintenance. But also, what most guys think is pretty is not the same as what girls think is pretty

Depends. Even with “average”/ “below average” women.

I go for average women because that's the best I can do with what I got

Also girls who are attractive, were generally attractive while growing up and got a lot more attention. That doesn’t always tend to create the best people. Not saying all attractive people, but definitely a correlation

By the way, why do you ask? Are you pretty trying to figure out why we aren’t all shooting our shot/are self-sabotaging? Or do you think you’re mid and trying to figure out if you have a chance with someone? Something else? Just curious

i’ve heard some people say they “less attractive” women are lower maintenance because they don’t get their hair and nails done, don’t wear makeup, don’t dress up, which makes them look more “basic”. also, i didn’t really ask for myself i just saw a video of a man talking about why he chose his wife and i thought it was crazy. i would consider myself attractive but the attention i get comes from old men lol

you don’t think there’s men that settle on looks with the woman they’re dating because they don’t think they could do better?

Hm. Was the video on TikTok, by any chance?

yes lol. it was a woman saying her husband told her she was simple and that’s why he chose her, even though he’s been with the more attractive women in the past

Oh, wait, I thought you said the vid was of the man saying it? If we only have it secondhand from her that’s very different lol bc tiktok is like the misinformation capital of the internet when it comes to relationships And in any case you gotta realize anyone posting about their marriage on tiktok almost by definition does NOT have the most normal marriage. Or the most normal spouse
