Ask any woman what her dream guy looks like and in many cases you will hear: tall, dark and handsome. The stereotype exists for a reason, because guys who are tall and dark (haired, skinned, etc.) are generally perceived as being more attractive.
If you think about the success of modern online dating, especially Tinder, where you are asked to match with someone based purely on looks (which is fair since most people on those sites barely fill out their profile anyway), society has really become superficial.
Just think of how many great guys you will never get to meet, because in order to actually have a conversation with someone, who might be funny, smart and totally charismatic, they first have to be at least a what, 7, maybe 8 for you to even click yes.
Beautiful people, in general, just have it easier, and your male counterparts are no different. Did you think only the tall, leggy blondes of the world have it easy? Wrong.
Ladies, just think for a minute about how many little (or big) things you let the attractive men in your life get away with. It might not be murder, but it’s certainly more than they deserve to get away with.
Not committing
It could be argued that too many women just let guys get away with this in general, but it’s much harder to say “no” or get confrontational with a beautiful, Greek God of a man. You bug him for a relationship and he shrugs and gives you a “maybe later” answer.
You deal with it, because he’s hot. Or maybe you start “seeing each other” and you really don’t know what that means, but you find out it means he’s hooking up with a few other girls too. But the discussion was never expressly had, so he didn’t do anything wrong, right? There are too many “don’t hate the player, hate the game” quotes out there; probably invented by attractive men.
Make up whatever excuses you like, especially when you stare into those baby blues, but the bottom line is: is him being beautiful really a good enough excuse for him to not be with you?
Being lazy (yet having an overt sense of self-worth)
Not only do some handsome men not have jobs, or income, or life aspirations, but they are also a whole other type of lazy. You have to bug them to do their laundry, their house is a mess, and instead of using their free time to clean it, they make up excuses why they are too busy doing “way more important” things than cleaning, and they will probably try to manipulate you into doing it for them.
These guys don’t want to work to make an income, they don’t want to clean, and they feel they are too important for both. They feel that their appearance puts them on a higher level than the rest of society, you included. And you let them get away with it because you’d love to be the girlfriend of a famous actor.
To top all of that off, you still haven’t figured out how they are paying rent and their cell phone bill…
Playing (or actually being) dumb
With this specific class of people, it’s not usually playing dumb. It’s just being plain dumb. And that’s not to say that you cannot be beautiful and intelligent, because that is certainly not the case. But these particular gorgeous guys are the type who don’t feel that they need to learn anything or increase their knowledge or education, because their good looks will take them anywhere they want to go in life.
It’s so lovely to just stare shamelessly into their eyes and trace their chiseled face with your fingertips, until they finally open their mouth and you aren’t even sure what just came out. They get away with this because they justify how their appearance is going to have them set for life, and they are so beautiful, that they convince you, even though you really wish they would stop speaking and just make mad, sweet love to you.
When you really think about it, your brain can be just as sexy as your bod, and it usually makes you way more money in the long run.
Being bad in bed
There is probably a long list of women that would like to sleep with a “10”. Women are easily turned on by fantasy and at the center of every straight gal’s fantasy is a studly, muscly, big, round-eyed, chiseled man who will ravish them. Where are these men? Can someone put out a classified ad?
The problem with this idea is that men who are attractive, seem to have a false sense that women will just magically have the best sexual experience ever, with orgasms and screaming for hours and hours, all because of the sheer power of how attractive they think they are. And many women will tolerate bad sex from someone because they are flattered that an amazingly attractive man is sleeping with them.
Bragging rights might be worth it short-term, but eventually a sexually selfish man is going to get worse and you won’t even remember what the word orgasmmeans anymore. A guy isn’t going to get better in bed, or better at putting your needs first, if you let him slack just to get the chance to sleep with a hottie.
Relying heavily on the beauty-status exchange
This is most frequently noticed when an older, or strange-looking dude is spotted sporting a supermodel on his arm. The automatic assumption is that he’s rich, right? Because why else would someone beautiful be with someone not beautiful? The thing is, there’s research to back this up and although it’s more often than not an attractive woman with an unattractive, rich man, it can go the other way too.
The “beauty-status exchange” states that when “an attractive person pairs with a wealthy or powerful person, and [they] both win.” Other research exists to both affirm and deny these claims but handsome men are great believers in it and will willingly “date down” if the girl is intelligent, with money, and power.
Because they are taught that is what you do when you are beautiful. You date someone rich or someone beautiful. And until someone tells them no, they will continue to harness these beliefs.
Flirting with other women
It’s pretty pointless to say that he’s probably gorgeous; otherwise, you may not have been attracted to him to begin with. The only problem with dating someone attractive, and not just someone you find attractive, but someone that is considered universally beautiful, is that other people find them beautiful. And that means that other over-confident women are going to throw themselves at him as often as possible.
And you let him take the attention and have his little flirt fest because you’d be flattered and love the attention too, right? But it’s not like that. And rather than saying: “Thank you, but I’m here with my girlfriend” he takes their advances and makes it into a sort of game.
You let handsome guys get away with acting like their not spoken for, because they’re handsome, and that doesn’t make a whole lot of sense when you think about it.
