Answer 2

Most PEOPLE are intimidated by BEAUTIFUL SMART people! (And girls are by no stretch of the imagination immune to this!) Ever notice that hot models get the flack ALL THE TIME that they are stupid, while the smart people get the same sort of flack that they are socially inept or ugly, none of these things usually being the case. It's how people lacking these things can sleep at night. The presence of both in someone fries their envy circuits, especially since these two things are largely regarded as innate blessings. This is especially ironic since people possesing beauty and/or intelligence rarely consider these things to be a big deal.

Now onto your questions:

1) Men are intimidated by women of high social status. By and large, women have higher social status than men even factoring for physical attractiveness. Men have to work for their status. Men, even the most attractive ones, also have to work to attract girls.

2) Most men feel that the hottest girls are way out of their league. Society tells them day after day through mass media that these girls are superior and unobtainable. All of this is good news for those that can actually break past this and approach (evil grin). Then even if they are able to hook up you have the lingering jealousy issues, especially if the girl has a richer sexual history, fears of inadequacy in bed, fears of being left for a better guy knowing that for her it would be ZERO effort to find another quality guy, the pressure of maintaining the high social status that will keep her attracted, the fact that hot girls are usually much more used to a high-end lifestyle... the list just goes on and on. So if a man finds an average girl attractive that is in turn grateful to be with him and can avoid all these issues, why would he NOT take the easy route.

3) Where the hell did you get the idea that men find good girls boring? Must be reading dem woman's magazines too much. Men find sexually restrained girls boring (no, I don't mean bondage when I say this :-P). You can be good, nice, sweet AND incredibly sexy (a killer combo, IMO). Think of Alyson Hannigan (Willow) in Buffy and American Pie.

4) Men like one night stands, but would drop everything for a good relationship. But relationships are a serious thing. Most guys have MUCH higher standards for relationships than for one night stands. So if a woman "puts out" too early she runs the risk of (gasp!) being rejected. Then again, starving sexually men to the point at which they will enter ANY relationship just so they could have sex is probably also not the way to go. These "relationships-by-default" seldom end happily for either party.

Answer 3

Only those men lacking self-confidence will avoid a beautiful woman. On the average, a man usually wont approach anyone who he feels is "out of his league" just because he fears getting shot down. In actuality these women complain that they feel they are inapproachable in mens' eyes, and would love to have it happen! So, go for it. And as far as one nighters...yea, theres some guys who do only one nighters...but the self-respecting guy will at least give it a chance. One good thing however; is that both sexes usually know after just a few min of good conversation whether or not an attraction is there. Sometimes we agree to a date just to give it a chance that maybe we missed during the initial meeting, but generally, if the attraction isnt there from the very start, its not gonna go anywhere.

Answer 4

Men are reallly attracted to the looks and beauty of women. But they may define beauty in their own way. Just for the sake of making you understand, an average looking woman may have a more appealing look than a beautiful woman. You never know what can make a man hook to you. Even a slightest thing can make him attracted to a woman even if she does not appear too beautiful. Well, this is about body.

Coming to love and emotions, men may avoid beautiful woman thinking they would be approached by many people. Secondly, they won't expect so much love and care from a beautiful woman because that woman is aware of her looks and appeal so she may dump him anytime.

All that a man need is loving, caring, sincere and attractive woman. Remember, it's the other person's looks that make one beautiful.

Answer 5

Men tend to look at what type of guy a woman wants. If they see all these really good looking women with these really rich-well-dressed guys, they will assume that the woman doesn't want someone "normal."

Plus, with the way that women talk about men, they usually DON'T want someone ordinary..... at least in looks and income.

I guess it just all boils down to the woman being willing to approach the guy. Most men I know would be blown away if they were hit on by a "movie star" type.

Just being honest.

Answer 6

ok there are more than one question to answer

a. Yes some men are, but more often than not they will pursue, because these are the type of girls that will make them look the best around their peers and family.

b. I think this is too much of a generalization, I think it depends on the man and his confidence level.

c. Yes, good girls are often boring on the surface, but many are freak alone.

d. Again it depends on the man and his stage in life, but many prefer one night stands.

Answer 7

in my opinion men dont approach girls that they dont think that they have a chance with and good girls are far from boring they have love and compassion and all the rest to give just like any other as for guys being after a one nighter or not all depends some guys do some guys dont depends on maturity and personality i guess

Answer 8

I'm not a guy and I'm not sure but as far as I know, I don't think so, not all guys go for bad girls and vice versa and yes, guys are somehow intimidated by beautiful smart women because they do have this ego... but of course not all..but mostly, yes

Answer 9

Most of them feel that they should be the smarter more confident one. Good men like good girls, and would never choose any other type to marry. They will, however, sleep with them. Ther are plenty of men looking for relationships. You just have not met your match yet.
