A woman? Why yes, but more specifically, a “beautiful” one. Obviously this is purely subjective, but most of us are hardwired to agree on what is considered attractive. With that being said, more than one man at any given time may find one woman to be attractive, which will create competition. Will a man that does little to develop his character, physique, and prowess stand a chance?

I would say yes. Much like how a woman ‘earns’ a man.
So not in earn the same sense that you earn material goods, but earn nonetheless.[/quote]
I don’t know about this considering the amount of psychos and bottom feeders who have women. [/quote]
It works both ways. There are a lot of guys with crazy attractive but otherwise crazy materialistic or total numbskull women who can’t hold a conversations outside the subject of the Kardashians and whatever else is on E!.
There are women who look at people like us meatheads, those of us who do nothing but lift you know? Know all about the best, supplements, and Jay Cutler. We may be dull as spoon to them, but plenty attractive… How many times have you just wanted an attractive lady? Can we really fault women when both sexes do it? We see Sterlings with Stiviano, and J-Lo with her dancer boy.
I know it’s celebs as example, but really they set the example in our society unfortunately. And while we think we have an intuitive idea about what is attractive, it’s also attached to culture. I mean men are attracted to ornaments on women/ where they carry their fat, hip to waist ratio likely for anthropological reasons, which probably explains why the female ideal/ the baddest bitch back in the day, like old sculptures of say Aphrodite during the Helenistic era would be considered kinda chunky by today’s standards.
From the time we are kids we are have our biological inclinations steered in specific ways by how society defines what is attractive. It seems to steer us towards objectifying women, notice how you say crazy guys got women? Notice how we talk about earning women? It’s because they are a prize in our culture, and unfortunately the way we all conduct ourselves we seem to perpetuate it, and few of us are willing to admit that we hook up before we get to know one another.

If all you seek is to get laid then looks matter a whole lot. If, on the other hand you want something long term and fulfilling, then you will be your happiest when you find someone you are completely compatible with. If she happens to be a hotty then thats a huge bonus, but it’s not the be all and end all, at least in my opinion.
I’ve gone out with all sorts of women from plain janes to stunners who everyone checks out when we’re walking in public. I can honestly tell you that there is no correlation between a persons looks and whether they will make you happy in the long term. At least in any deep and meaningful sense.
Too many men I know focus on the superficial rather than looking a bit deeper, and i truly believe that they are all the more unhappy for it.[/quote]
Well said buddy, I would echo these sentiments. Bonus points for the beast POC avatar.
