Women reject good looking men because they're usually arrogant a**holes and say things like If a woman rejects a good looking man it's because she's jealous and doesn't like competition.

LOL, thanks OP, I just figured out why Brad Pitt is having so much trouble getting any. I can't believe this thread didn't get deleted but as long as it's here let me give you a few pointers.

First, looks are subjective, the implication that you're attractive to "all women" is kind of silly.

Second, if you took a little time to read the forums you would quickly figure out that shirtless pic's are a turn off to more than 90% of the women on the site. You have huge guns put on a button down, you will still look muscular and you would look a lot more attractive to a lot more women. One shirtless pic in your profile is kind of cheesy, a whole row of them makes you look like a tool (this is just my opinion but you can probably verify this with the women here).

Third, the act of starting a thread that makes it appear you think you're a hot guy is a turn off. Bragging rarely gets you positive attention.

Fourth, being whiny is not attractive.

Fifth, and this is just my opinion but your body isn't great. You've got huge arms and you look like a power lifter but last time I looked being ripped was what was considered hot not being huge. Even ripped body builders are considered unattractive to some women. Too much mass isn't a particularly good thing and when the mass is not cut, the reception goes down hill. Stop lifting and start cutting mass your stock will go up. Even when you get "buff" you still should pay attention to point 2, women mostly don't like shirtless pic's on profiles.

What I don't understand is why men are allowed to post pictures of themselves without a shirt on........suppose to be some kind of turn on to women but if women post a picture without their shirt on, it will automatically be deleted!?!

So, most women do not like pic's of shirtless men yet they are still allowed to post them and yet women can not post pic's of their chest!?

"Bragging rarely gets you positive attention." This quote should be paid attention to more........it is so true!!

Hold on, you can still get good looking men that have a brain, personality and is nice to other 'humans'. same goes for women also. It depends on the person at the end of the day.

Everyone has their own idea about what is good looking. And a lot of good looking men (and women) have rotten personalities, or think they are all that. So maybe that is off putting. There is a thin line between confidence and arrogance and many can't walk it.

A lot of people think Tom Cruise and George Clooney are good looking, but they do nothing for me. I prefer Brad and Johnny. And Lenny Kravitz is gorgeous but if he's still smoking weed, I wouldn't date him.

Uh, yeah...I can't figure out why guys think it's a good idea to have a bunch of testimonials on their profiles...I saw one today that said "I will see you soon!" at the end of it. Boom, in my book that dude is off the market. Or he's off my radar, anyway.

There's a certain amount of truth in this. I've turned down good-looking men because I've assumed they will not be looking for the same kind of relationship as me. I guess the train of thought has been that they are used to female attention and would only be interested in clocking up notches on the bedpost. Also, with all that female attention they'd quickly get bored with an average-looking woman. I wouldn't be worried about the competition as such, but yes I would be concerned about the man's motives. If I think about it rationally, I can understand that very attractive men need honest, loving relationships too, so I've probably been unfair.

I think men's egos put them up to delusional thought processes.

The one thing no one considered all the women replying are older no insult intended and mature enough to decide what is logically sound or typical bs so the responce you might find i beleive will be with the younger generation seeing how they would be more apt tp compete .

Ok, I'll throw a bone to the single Romeos here (even though this thread is from the basement).

At one point in my life, I lost 30 pounds. It was a good experience, I was dancing, so it was overall positive impact in my life. It happened slowly over two years.

While that happened, I "got prettier" which is harsh, I've always been chubby and beautiful, but, in all honesty, some days I would look into the mirror and scare myself with how beautiful I was (losing weight on your face can do wild things, nice cheekbones, I could wear different haircuts with ease).

One thing I did learn is that people are rude to pretty people. A lot of people are not nice, whereas, (pardon me again for slinging generalizations) people are nicer to chubby people. I got a lot more "cat-calls" on the street when I was chubby and cute, and even when I was pregnant (gross, right?). As a more typically model-style attractive young girl, looking my best, I either got less, or I got rude ones (guys think they can say crude things to hot women, especially stupid guys or guys in bars, or construction workers on the job site). In my experience as a chubby person, people were nicer to me. Just my own experience, everyone is free to disagree.

So, yes, to some extent I can see how people reject handsome or beautiful people. They feel like those people have it to easy, or have too many options, or can just take the rejection better.

But really, you have to get over it, and look for women who aren't that way. Or gain a bunch of weight (I personally am much happier now with my few extra pounds).

A person may be very good looking...but just to look at only! Once the mouth opens and a bunch of useless crap falls out of it....they are no longer good looking in my eyes!

You can look at my profile and see i'm a below average guy in the looks department.

I'm a pretty hefty guy too. Used to be 2x bigger than I am now (losing all the weight has been so good feeling!) But even at my biggest, women were attracted to me.

Why?

The nearest I can figure out is something one of my 5 ex's told me (i've dated 5 women, married one, got served divorce papers last month... yay for me ).

She said "Women see you and know you won't judge them based on what they look like. They know you are sick and tired of being put down for being ugly, or being fat, or whatever. They know you care more about what is in their hearts than is in their pants. That is what makes you so attractive and sexy. You love women for who they are, not for the sex they give you." (the sex part was a lie... sex was very rare for me... even in marriage... *sigh* )

Now that I'm losing weight, that doesn't hold so true. Yes, I'm still a hefty guy, but at half my original weight... women are starting to see me and see me as more of a threat to the safety of what's in their pants than as to being a guy who wants to be with them just because they are a good woman who has a lot of love in her heart.

I'm still the same guy I was last year before I started my weight loss. But that doesn't matter.

Looks count for more than what is in your heart. I've found that out the hard way. I keep hoping there are still women out there that are true to someone's heart... but they are so far and few between that it almost isn't worth trying anymore.

it happens all the time on here. its not always b/c of what he has written down on his profile either. i've seen it happen in the real world too many times. its b/c they don't want a man who is getting a lot of female attention. its too much competition and it pisses a lot of women off. they are high maintenance and can be damaging to a woman's self confidence b/c of all the attention. just my opinion. and also, a woman is always seeing if she's matching up to a man's attractiveness. if she feels that she falls short, another reason to reject.

jerseyguy?? THAT IS THE BIGGEST LOAD OF SUPERFICIAL TRIPE I HAVE SEEN ON THIS SITE IN A VERY LONG TIME. AND BELIEVE YOU ME, THERES A HECK OF A LOTTA SUPERFICIAL CRAP BEING POSTED IN THIS FORUM. a persons self esteem is rooted in their own personal dialogues, and certainly not in the appearance of another person. personally, i could give two ***** less about a mans looks, a pic is about familiarity to me. what i do find attractive and sexually arousing is his intellect. its hillariously amazing to me the level of ignorance ppl will tell themselves to justify their own shortcomings. did it ever in your biggest imaginations occur to you that its not your looks that is the turn off?, but rather your conciet?

might be why my ex-wife was so pissed at me talking to one of my friends from highschool (a female, of course). Everytime I'd talk to her (she was dating a friend of mine at the time), my ex would go postal on me.

I do not know about women not rejecting nice looking men, because I have learned that a woman does not go on just looks, she wants someone who is fun, but a guy goes more on looks, but still wants someone caring. I am a guy that will post a shirtless photo or a photo showing my workout results, but if they like is fine,if not is fine too, you will be dating a guy who likes to stay fit,just like a woman may post a pic in a bikini. Later!

Why does a woman have to have 'issues' if she's not interested in you?

Maybe she doesn't find you attractive, maybe you don't share any interests, maybe she thinks you're boring, maybe she thinks ...blah blah blah...could be anything.

I hate to say it, when I get messages from a hot looking guy, I wonder "what's his angle?" but that is because I still have to work on my self esteem issues, and from what I've seen on here (for my area), if you're not barbie, you're outta luck. But that's my *stuff* :)

Good luck!

So what do think is smoking hot? A average guy can be smoking hot to some woman.
