I hate to laugh at that, but i did. :laugh:

My original comment in this thread is still my opinion on the matter though.

We men also are under pressure to look good. So are lions/birds/insects. It's nothing to do with our society and looking good is part of the very root of natural selection.
Usually one finds someone 'on par' with oneself in terms of personality/looks. Thankfully, I'm pretty damned hot so I have no worries (pics and t-shits with my face printed on them available at reasonable prices).

Maybe because you look like you've been gang-beaten by ugly-stick weilding mentalists, you feel that all the women you are attracted to are far beyond your grasp, and instead of admitting the glaring truth you put the blame on society that these people are too concerned about appearance and hence not interested in you?
Just an idea...

Everyone should take responsibility for their own insecurites and quit blaming others.

It goes both ways. Guys get pressure to be tough, make gobs of money, be tall, drive a nice car, have a large penis, be sensitive on command but not sensitive at all other times, etc.

Both sexes have their complaints and their nice attributes.

Whats up with people here and beating women and wanting to go back to the 50s. Females are human too just like us and should be treated equally.

I know way too many really beautiful girls who think they don't look good... It hurts... because it's our fault, guys I mean. We make girls feel like they have to be perfect. You know what I mean, flat stomach, huge boobs, round booty, long legs, big lips, and on top of all that, they have to dress like a whore, and be one as well... nobody can measure up to that... and its not fair... because nobody should have to. The little imperfections are what make people special. If everyone was perfect the world would be so boring, variety is what makes life interesting. So guys, stop making girls have to live up to your, I'm sorry, our... deluded fantasy visions of perfection. Stop acting like boys and start being men... realize that women don't exist to fufill our sexual desires. Stop talking to them solely to get with them, be nice to them because you want to be their friend, not because you want to hook up with them. Say nice things about them not to flatter them in hopes that you'll get some, but because you know they like to hear them. In short... we need to grow up and stop acting like freakin retarded little boys

so in otherwords your g/f is bleh?

Yeah OP, we'll all do that once women stop expecting washboard abs, solid pectorals, massive bicepts, multiple orgasms, being ok with just cuddling when they're not in the mood, and enough wealth so they can sit stay home and raise the kids (which of course you'll be completely responsible for once your 9-5 shift is over with) in their 500K mansion housing their 50K SUV.

We'll also stop expecting so much once they stop expecting 1/2 of our worldly possessions + alimony + child support after they fvck the pool boy.

As much as the OP is wrong, so are you.

Please tell me with a straight face that I just didn't describe the good majority of American womens' dream husbands. The sad fact is the better looking a man is, the more wealth he has, and the better the father he is; the more desirable of a mate he becomes. If he has a good personality and is smart, then that's just icing on the cake.

I'm not asking for an airbrushed look when she's just gotten out of bed. I only wish for her to *try* to look good and to *want* to try to look good, just as I do for her. I'm not looking for perfect, I'm looking for healthy and in relatively good shape with personal value in not looking like a fat slob.

It's NOT too much to ask.

In a roundabout way, that would probably solve all the problems we have in America, so obviously it wont happen.

WE dont.
Women do it to themselves and then other people for it.

I know it sounds harsh but theres quite a few feminists in America who agree with me.
Women need to stop worrying about what this so-called "society" thinks of them and start worrying about how they see themselves.

We have a handful of tough, intelligent girls here in Anandtech that might agree with me too.

I agree to a certain extent. I think that most of the time women do it to themselves, especially the women who by society's standards already look good.

Most of the time I feel pretty positive about myself and don't worry about what other people think, but it's hard when people who aren't just random people off of the street share their opinions or make comments.

Men do seem to me to be pretty shallow in general, though-- especially on AT. You guys love to point out physical flaws in every woman whose picture shows up on here. Should it matter what a bunch of random guys think? No, but if people openly critiqued your physical appearance, you'd probably be insulted by it as well.

Not to sound like a hero or anything but I dont do that.
I am usually one of the guys who asks to see a posters girlfriend after he craps on some random girl.
And I would not be personally insulted. I accepted a long time ago that I am a short, hairy, chubby, crazy little man.
And I dont care. I actually kind of revel in it. Strangers opinions mean nothing to me and I even enjoy it a little when they criticize me because I know they are just searching for an outwardly hostile method to solidify their own existence. (Is solidify the right word? Maybe justify or rationalize.)

And my friends and family are allowed a little latitude in personal attacks because they are friends and family. I know we can always sit down and talk about it if needed. Heck, the only one giving me problems is my mom and its only about my weight. She likes the idea of me being short and hairy, she says it makes me distinguished.

Meh what people say they do on AT, is probably not close to what they'd do in real life. Last time I checked most woman weren't big-boobed, perfect and slim (and/or blond). It's fun to talk about stuff like that on AT, but it's not what people would do when they'd be in the same situation in real life(at least, most of the posters)
