Okay this question is for the women out there. Why do women prefer brawn,wealth and looks over brains?

Question

I've been considered a brilliant minds in my group of friends.
Quiet, thinking, a great cook, singer, bodyguard..
And as I watch the world turn day by day, I have seen it time and time again, so I gotta ask,

"Why do women prefer good looks, muscle, and wealth in a guy rather than how smart he is?"

And if someone is wondering, I am proud to be the remaining bachelor, because so far, I haven't met a girl that can outwit and outmuscle me haha...I play hard to get..

Answer 1

You're wrong. Women do not prefer brawn/wealth/looks over brains. What women prefer is a man who fall heads-over-heals for her. A man who is willing to go the extra length to get her. And usually that means, the man had to go work out to look good, dress nice and make lots of money so that he can impress this woman. The problem with you is not because you're too smart that women don't like you, but because you are playing hard-to-get. Women are not competitive creatures. We do not like a guy where we have to work hard to get. Woman already suffer alot of pain (menstrual, childbirth, keeping up our own looks compared to other prettier younger women, having low self-esteem) that we have no energy to fight for a guy, rather we prefer a man who fights for us. A man is naturally built with strength, intelligence, and energy that is more than enough to woo a woman. It is more appropriate for the women to be the ones to play hard-to-get because she has to protect her self-worth and her fragile body and eventually her children. If a man can win her over, then that man would be the luckiest man in the world, because us women are built to care and love like no other. So yeah, you got it wrong. Serves you right for being a bachelor. You just aren't there yet in understanding women. And thus you'll never find a woman to outwit you, etc... because there is no such thing.

Answer 2

This is crap. My IQ registers well into the genius level, I have two master's degrees and I have basically no money whatsoever, but I've never had any issues picking up women.

Alot of smart guys don't get how condescending they get when they talk about their intelligence. And they choose to wonder why women don't like brainy men rather than work on the parts of their lives that could get more women attracted to them. There's such a thing as being too clever. Just as some women are turned off by a guy whose too conceded about his good looks, the same number of women are turned off by a guy who always wants to prove how smart he is.

Answer 3

Oh, I don't know. I think first impressions are half of it. If a guy's not the best looking, or whatever, but has a good sense of humor (but isn't too in your face, with it) and is friendly and pleasant, and can make intellegent conversation, then that's won me over, before.
Looks and money aren't everything.
I'd rather marry a poor odd looking fellow, with a nice personality, who I get a long with really well, than someone who's nice to look at and spends lots of money on me, but is an idiot and can't hold a conversation.

Answer 4

You answered your own question...it has nothing to do with women prefering "good looks, muscle, and wealth in a guy" but because you "play hard to get"

Games are for kiddies or board game night with friends...they are a total turn-off when it comes to relationship prospects.

If you want women to be attracted to you, then stop pretending you aren't attracted to them. I won't waste my time on a guy who doesn't appear interested in me...why should I? There are over 3 billion males on this planet, I'm not gonna go after one who has no interest (or is pretending not to). There are too many others that will be honest about their interest so we don't waste each other's time. ☺

Answer 5

That is not true of all women.
Though we may enjoy the eye candy that strong, professional men bring to the table- that's not what it is all about with all women.
I would enjoy a night of laughs and conversation with a man vs. going out with some tool who looks in the mirror more than I do.
I found out from dating men who think they are on top of the world and God's gift to women who cheated on me and treated me as though I was so easily disposable to a respecting, honest man who makes me laugh and loves to show and teach me new things that I wasn't attracted to physically, but was so intrigued by how much more interesting he seemed compared to the "average" men that I had experienced before.
The size of his wallet doesn't matter to me either, I would rather be able to support myself and buy myself the things that make me happy without having to depend on someone else to do it.
All I am trying to say is that there are good, respectable WOMEN out there so please don't judge us by the superficial types that think it is very important that the world can see how good the man standing next to them is.

Answer 6

LOL, not all women do. What sold me on my husband was the fact that he is smart and very witty.

Women that prefer good looks, wealth and muscle over brains are looking to be Trophy Wives that men will just take care of and show off...marriages of convenience...

Good for you waiting for the right one! She's out there, don't worry. :)

Answer 7

Not all women prefer good looks, muscle, and wealth in a guy. Maybe some, but you men should shouldnt stereotype us that way. There are still some good girls left out there. :)

Answer 8

first of all playing hard to get is the worst thing you can do to a girl lol. when i meet a guy i am usually drawn in by his looks first, then if he's a sweetheart and can make me laugh then i'm hooked. but if he's good looking and an asshole.. then forget it. i don't care about wealth and muscles.. or brains really. as long as you can make me laugh & love me unconditionally then that's all i need. some girls are shallow hal's and do want good looks & money though.. just got to find a good catch that doesn't need those things!

Answer 9

Some women prefer good looks, muscle, and wealth. I suspect you are attracted to these kinds of women...those who like to play games.

Other women look for things like caring, honesty, trustworthiness, humor, and brains.

Brains alone means you can be quite full of yourself and still unworthy of a good woman.

No offense.

Answer 10

I don't. I prefer someone who is smart, and whom I can carry on a conversation with. Someone whom I am attracted to (looks do matter for sexual attraction reasons, but you don't need to be Brad Pitt). Wealth is not something that I have to have, however a job to pay the bills is necessary.
