Open to both sexes: Are girls less superficial than guys?

Question

I see alot of pretty girls going out with (excuse the word) "ugly" guys but I hardly see goodlooking guys with "ugly" girls. is this because girls are less superficial than guys? why is that? or do you think it's because guys have more confidence to ask out or approach a girl no matter how they look like? or do you think there are other reasons? (except guys wanting to get into hot girls pants lol)

sorry i ddnt really mean to say ugly. i dont think anyone is ugly. i just couldnt think of a word when i typed the question. sorry i ddnt mean to offend or put down anyone. im not gorgeous myself lol. and i ddnt post this question because i'm jealous or anything, just wanted to know what you people think hehe. oh,and yep shallow might be a more appropriate word hehe thanks

Answer 1

stop bashing men and get a job. To answer your question I have to say they're both superficial not just men, I see alot of pretty girls who won't go out on with a guy just because he is ugly or he has an ugly car or he is not rich so I have to say NO!!!!!!

Answer 2

It depends on the kind of person they are. Its not called being superficial. Its being shallow. Yes, few good looking guys go out w/ (lets not say ugly) plain girls. Its because guys need to feed their egos and to do that, they need a girl they can show off to their friends. Guys who don't care about the outside and look on the inside, those are the guys worth going out with. Girls have to learn to look on the inside because sometimes, good looking guys tend to be jerks so they often turn to guys who aren't as good looking, but they treat them like a princess. So yea, guys are more superficial because of their egos and sexual behavior. Girls look for someone who treats them right and cuddles with them. That's basically the truth.

Answer 3

Not that I'm tarring all women with the same brush but in my experience (and judging by some of the responses on here), it's women that are more superficial and materialistic.

Women tend to enquire more about the materialistic things when they first meet a guy (money, car, job etc)

Answer 4

I think it has to do with what people are REALLY looking for. I use these examples in the most general sense, as they won't apply to everyone.

If you go to buy a truck for work, what are you looking for? You want it to be strong and not break down when you need it. It might not look the best, but a beatup pickup is your best friend in hauling stuff and staying with you during rough times.

If you go to buy a sports car for speed/fun, what are you looking for? You want it to be fast and cool looking. Your not as concerned with its complete lack of cargo room or the fact it has no back seat. your looking for thrills and frills.

Women want men to be strong, so looks aren't AS important. But, how does she find out if he's strong? The way he talks? The way he acts? The way he doesn't NEED her? An ugly man can do this, but choosing a guy just for this makes a woman JUST AS SUPERFICIAL. Its a quality that says nothing for "who he is" but more of "what he is".

Men want women to be sexy/pretty, so strengths aren't as important. But how does he pick who is sexy or pretty? The way she dresses? The way she acts? The way she takes care of her body? A beautiful woman need not be a person of "substance" to attract a man, although she needs it to keep him/make him happy in the long run. Men are undeniably superficial when using this to choose women for dating.

Truth be told, neither men nor women are truly righteous in how they see the opposite sex and how they choose their companions. Both rely on easy to find details that really don't show "who" a person is as much as what that person can do for them. Its the people looking for substance that can look past what is immediately attractive in a person and after learning who they really are, find them attractive for the person inside.

Answer 5

Confidence

Answer 6

well first of all, before you say ugly guys are going out with pretty girls, take a look at yourself in da mirror.
do you look as good as beyonce or alicia keys?
if not, dont judge anyone. you sound a bit jealous.
dont worry about their lives.
and women can be superficial but it all boils down on the person, not the gender.

Answer 7

Generally, men tend to be more physical, and women tend to be more emotional. I've gone out with lots of less than attractive men, because they were nice and treated me with respect. In turn, a lot of good looking men have turned me down, some very rudely, because I am average looking.

Answer 8

Yes, that is what your seeing at your age, but take a Good look at the "good looking dad's" of your "friends" and I bet that wasn't what they "married"! Big difference in men and women, during your mating years, be careful, matches made on looks alone, never last.

Answer 9

I in no way exchange into in that subject ... i in no way discovered the lady that i glance after now ... yet i'd say that in the event that they began to work out the ladies character(s) then they extra then in all hazard would have felt undesirable ... yet whilst that they had no intrest in the 1st place different than intercourse ... then i'd say that their hormones exchange into in total administration.

Answer 10

girls see more of money and those things ... it is more like being on sale for girls ... guys have real intentions for love and affection .. this should never matter how rich girl is

but girls have all things in this world for loving a rich guy ... i have never found a girl who is sincere with her love ... she will defintely judge a person by how rich he will become and how she can be happy
