Men and women are different. And one of the most relevant of those differences for dating is the fact that men and women prioritize different things in sexual selection. One of the fallacies that I see both sexes operating under in the modern dating scene is assuming that what one is attracted to is also what will attract the opposite sex. This causes both men and women to signal the "wrong things" in the sexual marketplace. I'll discuss further in this episode.

Then there's the story of the girl who saw just a photo of Chris Hemsworth, knew nothing of his career, and exclaimed "He can do anything he wants to me". I think the notion that women don't care about the appearance of the man is not important comes to a large extent by the difference in average response. Most men are not physically attractive to women, while most women (in the right age range) are attractive to men. But some men are very attractive to women.

@@ShonnMorris I don't see this as an exception so much as a part of the curve. The average man finds the average woman attractive, but vice versa is not true. This makes men appear to be "visual" creatures. But if a young women encounters a guy at the upper end of the attractiveness curve her response will be as strong as a man's to an attractive woman, and she will not have much experience controlling herself because it is rare.

@@mr.soundguy968 Agreed. The problem in what he states at 2:55 is that, it _WAS_ essentially true throughout history because society practiced enforced monogamy - not saying that's a good thing, just how it was. But in this day and age where women make their own money, can pick and choose via these online apps exactly what they physically want (though perhaps not secure long term) in a partner with the swipe of a finger: build, height, face etc - then your looks as a man now matter more than ever. I see so many young guys today behind the curve walking around overweight, not really thinking about their hair, their clothes, almost certainly with this outdated mindset that only men really care about looks whilst women care about status and resources. No. The truth is just about EVERYONE cares about looks first and foremost, with everything else way back in 2nd place. That's just the biological reality of a species with limited time on the planet to acquire and pass on good genes.

I’ve been in a sexless marriage for years now, some narcissists withhold intimacy as a form of perpetual punishment. I am physically attractive, kind, hard working. But for financial reasons and trauma bonding I have stayed longer than what my nervous system can tolerate. So, I guess I am the first female to tell you that despite doing everything right, I am punished in many ways but the one that hurts the most is being deprived of the most basic life source in a relationship, intimacy.

He was my dark horse, extremely smart but not on his feet yet because he was an immigrant. We met at university, it was my fault though. His student visa was expiring and I told him I would help him out and so we got married. My life has been completely taken from me, he also later developed an autoimmune condition and you would think that because he depends on me entirely in order to live a normal life and work, that he would treat me with respect at the bare minimum. Wrong! I have CPTSD because I grew up with a covert Narcissist mother so you can say walking on eggshells and being verbally abused was normal for me. So you can imagine that for me strength means how much bullshit I can tolerate, all under the banner of loyalty. It’s taken me the realization that I may not be able to have children because my fertility window is closing, I need to run. I need to get OUT NOW before he really ruins my life. At this point, all I can say is I’ll take with me what I learned because I am not the same person going into the marriage than who is coming out. I grew a pair of balls, thank god for that. I can read people’s intentions a mile away, and I’m not scared of being a bitch anymore, years of abuse will make you grow teeth. (Maybe it was the biggest life lesson, I needed to slay the dragon of authority) I will enjoy seeing him crash and burn once I leave, his family dynamic is disgusting and they will be the ones taking care of him, he’ll also need to move back to Italy, no more American dollars 🥲 his free ride on my back is OVER.

I feel for you. 😢 The key is to heal your trauma? My situation is in one aspect similar - what I wanted in a man was not everything that comes with Ken, I wanted emotional intimacy, I was looking for a peer with whom I coud build everything, I wanted a soulmate... And I kind of ended up being used, my needs neglected. I see now that it is my fault, because I believed that love means prioritizing your partner and his needs and I believed he will do the same for me. But guess what happened - I teached him, that his needs are the priority. I let that happen and the question is, if I can change it somehow in me 😢

Thanks for the Video!, but I think there is a big difference between Attraction and Arousal in females. Question is: With Whom...do women seem to have a headache when is time for intimacy? Countless experiences (including mine) can give testimony about how diferently women respond to men with good body fitness/frames compared to those who don't work out. The biological Imperative in Males to is Provide AND PROTECT, therefore good fitness/physical frame or presence is an evolutionary indicator of Health and Strength, which were absolutely necessary to protect females and the offspring throughout history. Although this may not be an indication of Long Term interest, it is definately a factor when it comes to female arousal. Women DO care about the Ken Doll as well. If He´s only hot, they will feel aroused by him but Not attracted to him for Long Term, if He's Only Wealthy and does Not have good body/genetics, They will Marry Him...if He´s BOTH... ...Bingo! Females Feel Aroused by Good Genetics and Indicators of Strenght and Health...and They Fell Attracted to Indicators of Wealth and Provisioning. NOTE: Females can also be aroused by seductive and Romantic behavior, inspite of you indicating in one of your videos that this behavior was created by men to compete with other men, and I agree, but regardless of how it came to appear in the scene, it still Works, trust me .. I´ve been Singing and playing guitar for 26 years, I don't call it a "Guitar" anymore...I call it The " Acoustic Panty-Dropper " .

I used to be an actor myself. So I can confirm that performing on stage is hugely attractive to women. And I think this is because of the social confirmation it confers. When hundreds of people are looking at you and calling your name, it dramatically increases your attractiveness (see: "People want what other people want"). This has nothing to do with romance. You could play a power ballad or a punk rock anthem, the effect would be the same.

it does happen. I worked with a girl that had an amazing personality. she was not very good looking at all though. she worked, her boyfriend stayed home (he got in a car accident at some point and supposedly had a mild stroke that kept him from working. funny he could climb ladders, use a chain saw and lawn mower, and cook. I will say that he was good about keeping the house straight). she complained often that he would only have sex with her about once a month and she had to beg him for that. blamed it on the stroke. she met a dude in a bar one night that offered her a 'bump,' told her she was pretty and took her home that night. she left her boyfriend the next day. unfortunately the dude was a crackhead and got her hooked on crack. so they would sit around and smoke crack all day, and she would go to work and pass out and sleep all night (we worked together as nurses in a heart hospital). so basically she was in a similar relationship to the one she left except she was getting laid and felt special because of it. things finally caught up with her though. she had bounced checks all over town, and she finally got caught sleeping and left work and didn't go back so she didn't get fired. she was able to get another night shift position on a locked psych ward in another hospital. her boyfriend went and picked her up from work one morning, fell asleep at the wheel and crossed the center line and crashed into oncoming traffic. both of them were killed as well as the man they hit. all of this happened within 6 mos. all because some dude told her she was hot and made her feel special. forgot to mention she had three kids, a 20, 19, and 15yo that she pretty much abandoned for the crack.

There are some great PUAs who completely got it, but the focus of the space and most people in it is (in my opinion) using "tricks" to impersonate someone who they never will be if they don´t work on that.

My experience and the experience of my closest female friends is the opposite. I was the breadwinner in my marriage and left him because he would rather watch David Letterman than have sex. My best friend is also the breadwinner in her relationship. However, she doesn't want sex because she's lost respect for him as he earns a small fraction compared to her but more importantly he doesn't help in raising their child. She literally does everything and he wonders why they don't have sex lol In my current relationship, I want sex far more frequently than him. As far as money is concerned, we split the expenses equally and we don't live together. He shows his love through time, service and affection. I don't receive any financial support from him. He accuses me of just wanting him for his male appendage lol All joking aside, this is probably the healthiest relationship I've had thus far. We can do everything or nothing together and have a great time. We both are kind and gentle to each other as well. We both are understanding and give each other the benefit of the doubt. I adore this man and I feel loved, protected and cherished by him and yet we don't fit the gold digger or Barbie doll stereotype dynamic.

Obviously having children us and investment and the main care giver may not do the hours of work they used to while the kids are too young to look after themselves for a couple of hrs. Pregnancy dose cause significant changes and can take a while to recover from in some cases so yes the nonpregnant partner might have to be more of a support at that time including the one with the fuller bank account.

And it’s because I see them act like the energy or you can say trait that they want therefore repelling that trait. A woman would be very masculine and if she list of her attributes, which are most likely masculine, and then talk about how come she is single? Well men are not attracted to the accolades that she listed off. like her degree and how much money she makes and where she lives. Those things are what women find attractive in men but for some reason she thinks that’s how she gets the man. I see my brothers do the same thing. They act very feminine and nice to women because that’s what they want the woman to do them and then wonder why women talk to the bad boys. I tell them not because they’re bad it’s because they’re acting more masculine.

The problem for the man is if he baits the trap for the prey he’s after and his bait is not who he is there are soon to be two totally disappointed people at some point in the near future. I was naive. I thought my wife liked me. Turns out what she liked is what she thought I represented. My question was where did you get that idea? I was playing a part to fit into a career I was quite successful at but was never happy doing. When I finally cut and ran her dreams were shattered and I discovered she didn’t really like me. Well she did but at the end of the day that wasn’t what tripped her trigger.

I don’t think these ideas reflect actual individuals and they reinforce negative stereotypes like this. Just look at your comments. Reinforcing those ideas can be problematic for women who encounter men who truly believe that woman only care about money etc. It’s hard to overcome attitudes like that with actual reality. I don’t know a single woman who is a gold digger. Far from it. I know a lot of men who don’t want a Barbie type. They love down to earth, athletic women. Women who love nature & have cool hobbies, etc. Obviously there will always be some individuals like this study describes out there, but I don’t this it’s the norm. When it comes down to it, character and values matter to everyone. Actually look at individuals and don’t believe the hype or stereotypes

He doesn't fully understand attraction. He mentioned how a woman pretends to have a "headache", but never stated the reason why, which means he doesn't know. You are no less valuable of a person at 40, and the man that truly likes you will notice you, because he will see you as different from other women. Initial superficial attraction is based on looks, but LIKING someone with romantic attraction is based on getting to know them, even for a man, whether they know it or not. This is not to say we shouldn't take care of our bodies, because we absolutely need to for ourselves. Its just that there is more to attraction than age and looks. Just like a woman can be attracted to a broke dude due to non-superficial reasons. Until he factually understands why this can happen, you cannot take his opinions as wisdom. He is too focused on superficiality. The truth would never be so superficial. So take heart, because you are more free than you think. You are 40, not 90. Get yourself together, be your authentic self, seek truth, be humble, strive for healthy perspectives, and keep your chin up. Don't give up, even when you feel down. It's going to be ok.
@Leoo117
@Leoo117 Год назад
@Quincy Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. This means that, where you cannot see her value, someone else absolutely will. Her age doesn't matter to someone that meets her and likes her. If your only focus for romance is on the superficial things and youth, you'll always go for the younger one and look past her, but not everyone has those same values. Those with different values will notice her. I got nothing against looksmaxx. Sounds like an awesome way to live to me. I strive to do those things, and when I meet a woman that has the same mindset, it definitely intrigues me. It'll definitely help, and she'll likely attract someone with a similar lifestyle if she does that, but there is still more to a person than that, and a man that likes her will notice that. It's possible. You say she can't have "the one", but that's really another way of saying that she must be with someone she has no romantic interest in. She'd be better off staying single if that's the case, because that defeats the whole purpose of a romantic relationship. It's also really messed up and basically an offense to the partner who is being settled for. It would be wrong. No one has to settle for what they don't want. That's a limiting belief. Although, she should never try to rush into anything, because that creates unnecessary problems. You mention the word bargain as if she'll have to bargain for what she wants like she is a business trying to profit. This is the wrong way to look at things, because relationships are not transactions. The purpose of a relationship is to give FREELY, because you want to do that out of loving or caring for someone. This might sound like a fairy tale to you, but it's actually how healthy relationships work. There is no bargain or transactions involved in genuine relationships. Granted, it's hard to find genuine people who are not trying to "profit" in a sense, so I can see why you'd feel like it's a fairy tale, but genuine people are out there. If you look at relationships as if it's a bargain, you'll likely attract someone who views relationships in the same way, and while you may get your desired bargain, you'll miss out on a true connection that way. A fairy tale would be something like the popular romantic movies of today, where the woman rejects the man, and he does something nice or brings her flowers, and suddenly she realizes she loves him. This doesn't happen in reality. Actually, that sounds like a transaction, too. THATS the true fairy tale, because life doesn't work that way. Movies and TV shows like that mislead us since childhood, and it teaches us things that don't work that we need to unlearn.

Please tell African American women this! I think the information you gave applies best to people in the prime of their lives when sex hormones are high. But after the prime, it seems to flip-flop, in my opinion. Women, after they've fulfilled their biological imperatives and are already earning, etc, look for the body and for sexual fulfillment. Men, as their testosterone comes down, they look for a woman that has more depth to her than just her physical.

I also made her a top 10% shottist in combat rifle and pistol matches and she can handle any wilderness situation with aplomb. She thinks that I walk on water, cause I pulled her out of a third-world gutter. She's very smart, hard-working, and sexy. Guys are looking in the wrong place for women, that's all.

I'm glad you made this video and it took me a long time to realize this. While women do like attractive men, looks in general aren't as important to them as it is to men. If a woman is generally unattractive, that's a wrap for her. Her success and accolades will do nothing to attract men. However, if a man is unattractive, as mentioned, he can make up for it in other ways, usually financially. The unfortunate consequence of this is that women can and often are used for sex. A man cannot be used for sex, that's simply giving him sex because most of the time, he's not going to turn it down.

Men are used for money and resources. For example, let's say, she needs a ride. She will call a guy she knows likes her, so she can get free rides. Free dinners and free gifts are another way women will use men who they know like them but they themselves are not sexually interested.

I dont agree with you. Even though you made some good points, but according to my personal experience, finding a mate is a package for both sex. Right, men are mostly attracted to appearance at first, but it is not all about it. If she is not smart, she has attitude or she has no career or life skills, so no man would date such a girl. In contrary, I have seen a lot that women do care so much about men's appearance, specially about height. So I deeply believe that you are very wrong in this video.

If I don't find the man or women attractive or they have bad hygine, I won't even flirst with them. I don't care how much money they have. With men I find that I'm submissive in the bedroom.

True, women want the security from a partner, but the sex isn’t good because she isn’t that into it. Women want it all, literally. They want everything, Ken and his stuff. His kids too. If the guy wants sex still, he better keep in shape and help his wife feel like a woman and not a mom. Girls are very into looks, and in the right context they are more open about it than guys are. I remember them going nuts during a viewing of the Volleyball scene in Top Gun. Another girl nearly moaned when she saw one of the Twilight guys shirtless. To be fair, you do bring this up in another video.
