I am interested on other peoples views on this subject. I find that when i see a really beautiful woman i feel a sense of frustration and sadness and i think it is because i know i could never attract her BUT when i go into the thought i realise that i dont actually seek any type of relationship with the woman because i dont know her as a person and also i have no impulse to have sex with the women so my question to myself and other men...what do we want from them?Why do we feel a sense of sadness?
I don't like not being given a chance. Many of these girls don't want to bother pursuing me, because I don't dance in clubs and 'score' women this way- I end up faring less than I should do. I like to impress with the fine art of conversation, and it makes me sad because I think maybe my values are just old fashioned. I can't complain too much though, because pretty girls are interested in me in the first place, and I have had some wonderful experiences with some of them.
I prefare women who are a little chubby. But I want a drop dead beautiful gorgeous skinny girl to carry around like a trophy so I can impress everybody. I know, it's pretty conceded.
I prefer curves. And anyways, I personally feel paranoid when i'm with an attractive girl. An ex of my from a few years ago was probably one of the best looking girls i've ever seen, let alone be in a relationship with point is- I wasn't comfortable with such a popular and fancied girlfriend. Every night I was out, some guy or even a girl was trying to buy her a drink or invite her back to their place. I cut it off and people thought I was nuts, but I found a more normal relationship after and I was much more stable. Beautiful women are not always the answer.
There are many very beautiful shapes and sizes of women out there. Beauty is not only appearance, but also lies in spirit and how content one is with themselves. Society's idea of beauty is skewed. Some may have those feelings because they feel inadequate compared to those women. Why? Because the media says that those women are great because they look a certain way, and so some become sad because it makes them feel less than. You decide what is beautiful and what is attractive. Most of what many people are attracted to is not beauty but vanity. They're only attracted to it because the media has told them that is what's best, that's what is the most desirable. They don't listen to themselves or decide for themselves what is desirable. Then you have "beautiful" women getting treated like shit, dumped by men after a fuck because the men no longer have any use for them. Why? Because; 1) Once sex is over those men realise that they're not really that deeply attracted to the girl, 2) The girl has nothing to offer besides her "beautiful" appearance. Nobody wants to be with a one dimensional person. Decide for yourself what is beautiful. Real beauty shouldn't make you sad, it should make you happy.
What do I want from a beautiful woman? Stay beautiful; in other words, stay natural-don't screw up your appearance by trying to look like someone else, and above all, stay natural! And keep that hair nice and long :sunny:
Ok lets face it, one of the main values in humanity is aesthetics. We try to push the fact away, but it is. I often feel the same way or the exact opposite. It depends on what you call beautiful. Girls around my age range (17-21) who are tall, athletic, skinny, and looking older than they are in development (about 23-25) I know I don't stand much of a chance. So I do have a little bit of that insecurity but normally I just feel that we wouldn't click. On the other hand, sometimes the girls who are attractive loners or outsiders I am more confident around. I personally do not want sexual relationships. I want to feel there is a maybe (if that makes any psychological sense), but sexuality isn't required. We do seek some acceptance is what it is. We seek acceptance from that little miss queen humor of theirs if they have an attitude. It's not about the physicality but rather an ego fueled system.
i agree with all comments but i just want to get to the bottom of why this feeling rises up even though i know looks isnt everything and also i have a girlfriend who i love but i will still feel a sense of sadness when i see a beautiful woman even though i have no desire whats so ever to be with her....its bizarre!!
I'm not a man, so I can't relate. But being the over-thinker that I am, I'll try to see if I can answer your question. I think a lot of people feel the way you do because they are insecure. You want to be able to go up to a beautiful woman and woo her, but you lack the confidence in yourself to do so. Whether we like it or not, people are attracted to beauty and we rate people based on it. Until one gets past the physical appearance, and no longer desire what we can't have, you'll always feel that way. I feel sadness too when I see a beautiful woman, but perhaps for a different reason. For instance, I can convince myself that I'm a kind and giving person. I can try to be all that I can be and be confident, but when it comes down to it: if a pretty woman has all those qualities as well, people are going to favor her for her looks. People like being around beauty, that's a truth. Even with the comment before mine where he insisted on women being natural: that's great, but you just have to look down at his sig pic and see a beautiful woman in great shape. I could have the same personality as her, but I couldn't compete physically. That's not her fault, in fact I can applaud her for being fit and happy, but some people don't have that chance, depending on how they're raised, treated, and what physical features they are given at birth. This is what makes me sad
I know this feeling - you are up against 2 forces: one is the force of nature, the other is the force of society. The nature force is a holdover from raw survival of the species and programs males to seek out and impregnate as many females as possible, solely for the purpose of increasing the odds of the survival of the species by raw numbers. You will find many examples of this in the animal kingdom. Other species do not have medical science and commercialized agriculture to extend the lives of their members, they depend only on producing enough offspring to continue the race. Nature is also partly responsible for what you consider to be attractive in a female - it dictates what characteristics make for the potential of the most healthy offspring. But here society enters in as a strong force in telling us what is an "acceptable mate" - and this has nothing to do with natural law and is not even logical. The media, advertising, movies and books all tell us men what kind of girl we should have by our side, and tell the girls how they should look in order to be at the front of the pack for selection by men - and it has nothing to do with the future of the race, only the bottom line. Realize every time someone shells out cash for fashionable clothes, the latest weight-loss product that doesn't work, etc - SOMEONE is making a profit. OK, a lot more could be said - IM me if you want to know more.
Personally from a physical point of view i like curvey women big bum,big hips etc so i dont like the typical skinny girl,when i say beautiful i mean facially very stunning but usually there is on top of the sadness an actual dislike of that person,its awful to pre judge but really good looking women all look conceited whever they are or not
so are you sad because beautiful women are that way? Because I have met beautiful women (inside and out). I think that if you have that pre-judgment, then the way you think is more you: not everyone else. Maybe that's why no one is giving a proper answer. If this is the case, maybe it's time to change the way you look at people. I can understand why you would wonder why you feel this way, I have some judgments of my own that I'd like to overcome. The only thing you can do is realize you have these judgments and work on changing them. And you mentioned facial attraction: I can agree with this, but if you're born with an unattractive face? This is more what I was getting at with my previous post: physical attraction, whether you like chubby or not, is still there and needs to be satisfied.
I just feel it's disappointing when a woman is physically beautiful but rotten on the inside, honestly I feel that beauty is more inner based
