Anyone noticed this? 9 times out of 10 men pursue women that are more typically attractive than them. If you're "on their level" they can be dismissive or take you for granted. Average men chase good looking women and good looking men chase supermodels or women with the plastic insta look/women with high social media presence.
There are exceptions but this is something that seems consistent for a lot of men. This fits in with what some studies have shown, that men overrate their looks and women sell themselves short.
Don’t be fooled, there are chewbaca-looking MOFOs going after supermodels too!
Men hate being reminded of where they come from. They do not like to be reminded of their humble beginnings, or a traumatic past, or how unremarkable they truly are outside of their online bubble.
That's why their dream woman has to make up for their own flaws and crapshoot starting in life and other shortcomings, usually to the extreme. If they can bag her and show her off in public, other people (mainly men let's bffr lmao) can then overestimate his other traits: his intelligence, where he stands in the social ladder, being able to be promoted to higher paying jobs, etc.
Why should a so called 7 out of 10 male go out with a 7 out of 10 (or worse, a 6-/10) woman who truly cares for him, when he can get with a 9+/10 woman who can take him or leave him easily but can boost his social ranking just by being around her? Men do not want love or want to be loved. They think they do, but really, they're looking for perks, benefits, and sex that comes with a long term relationship.
Men always want a woman who's better looking than him. I've never had one man who was as good looking as me pursue me. It is what it is. That's how they are, and they expect their money and to make up for their physical shortcomings.
I've noticed this too, but I also don't think the correlation is that tight, to the extent that I think there are also a lot of guys who are grossly below a woman's league but still won't pursue her (usually because they're either avoidant, racist, or addicted to porn or alcohol).
I do think some well matched men pursue women, but it's never just out of the blue or on the basis of brief small-talk. Usually in those cases they've known each other platonically via work or something and so the basis of his pursuit is her personality/intelligence/skills etc.
Hot take: women are always out of men's league
...therefore men always must pursue, and any of them who think otherwise are ✨delusional✨
More serious answer: what I believe you are witnessing is men chasing a "trophy" to show off to other men, but they don't actually care about or love the woman in question. She's just checking particular aesthetic/wealth/prestige boxes for them and their social status. It's the clout they want, not necessarily the relationship.
It's disgusting but it's true. The only times I've ever been pursued, the guy was laughably ugly and a lot less educated than I am. I felt insulted and I didn't want any of them.
For instance, I put a lot of effort into staying healthy, in good shape and active. Then some obese or severely underweight scrote really thinks he can talk to me? I have an undergraduate degree and a masters degree but I'm being pursued by men who didn't even pass their GCSEs and can't spell. It's demoralising.
I've literally only ever been attracted to men around the same level that I'm at. But it seems like men don't have that decency. Things like this fill me with more repulsion towards men and a stronger urge to just be happy on my own.
one thing i still struggle with is letting go of really attractive LVM because although they are no different than any other LVM, i feel like i can’t do better than them which i know is an insecurity i need to address. it’s so easy for me to block and dismiss unattractive or average LVM because it doesn’t feel like a loss; when it comes to men who i view as more attractive than me, i admittedly love the surge of validation i get when they show interest in me. i wish i wasn’t so vain but as a 21 year old surrounded by hideous scrotes who refuse to wash their bed sheets and have slept with 100+ women, a really attractive man who shows interest in me feels like a win :/
Of course they do. They want everything they don’t deserve.
