base talk Do straight women care way less about their partners physique compared to gay people?

[Miracle]

I don't know if you've noticed this, but all my straight female friends have had a relationship or are still currently in one with a guy way less attractive than they are, at least to what would be considered canonically attractive in the gay community (athletic physique, basically). I've barely seen any cases of super muscled gays being with average / non-fit men but there's countless of examples I can think of when it comes to straight relationships near me: women with stunning canonical physiques are with canonically underweight, overweight, ugly guys. What could the explanation be? Is it gay's self hate that makes them only focus on looks cause that's their only way they have to feel good with themselves? Is it the almost parody-like toxic masculinity ingrained in a lot of gay men and reinforced by sexual stereotypes and datting apps? Or is it just that straight women, in general, focus less on looks and more about what the relationship itself could be?

 

 

If you don't agree with me, just tell me. Most incels are straight men who claim it's impossible for them to date any women while being average, but the reality is that, at least from what I've seen in my life, stunning women are, more often than not, average guys. So maybe it's just that they're losers incapable of making social contact, but it's also another point of view. Do you agree straight men have it harder to find a sexual/romantic relationship with women or is it that their standards are even crazier than those of gay guys?

This is a fanbase/music discussion?

[Jay07]

Yes, men in general are a lot more superficial and sex-driven than women who look for different things in relationships. 

[Miracle]

Oh I'm sorry can someone move this to the lounge lol

 

[favorite crime]

Yes.

[Thinking Of You]

Duh. Look around. 

[#Beautiful]

Straight men barely throw any water on their face in the morning and most dont even wipe their ass properly, straight women kind of have to settle for what they can get

[Erreur2 La Nature]

Of course. Look at some popgirls’ husbands 

[Bussea]

Because gay men are shallow as ****

Not all of them. But yeah, the ones that spend every day at the gym and evey night doing a 2 hour skincare routine are superficial and only care about looks. It's the same with some straight guys too, though.

[BOOMBAYAH]

Yes, it’s mostly biological/psychological. This video explains it very well: 

 

[Cheers]

Lol no str8 women can be just as picky. Why are gays always looking for womens approval

[BGXKB]

Straight men are actual incels I know from the hundreds of times I’ve been called a “blue haired feminist” online. 

[Rotunda]

I think the abundance of gay men dating ugly guys twice their age kinda balances things.

[bestfiction]

I've been thinking about this for a while. Like I'd probably have easier time getting into a relationship if I was straight

This.

 

From what I've seen and heard, women don't really care about dating someone who has a muscular/toned physique whereas that seems to be a common desire/obsession in the gay community.

[Delirious]

But then gay men don't care about height now do we?

[Last Boy on Earth]

It’s not the gays, it’s men. There’s a reason women have so much pressure to ‘look good’, men are just more shallow in general, both gay and straight. stop belittling your own community so much 

[katara]

Yes men in general care about the looks of their potential partners while women care more about the social status, power and wealth the potential partner has. 

[skwonderfactory]

I mean you can't generalize. Everyone is different and has different standards. For me personally, personality and compatibility matter much more than looks. Of course, good looks are nice but I consider it an added bonus that I will appreciate more and more over time.

[Redstreak]

I usually see the other way around. Straight guys with women way less attractive than them

[Kevin Parker]

As said above, man are more superficial.

 

I think gay men come off as extremely picky because, from what I can see, they tend to date exclusively the type of men they like. Women, in the other hand, give more chances to different types of men.

 

However, from experience, I can assure women have much more fantasies than gay men, and men in general. You'll see more women (with boyfriends) fantasizing about muscular or extremely handsome celebrities.

I personally believe that many beautiful women can't accept not being the "pretty one" in the relationship. Their ego wouldn't allow them to be with a man who would get the same amount of attention from other people because of  his looks, so they settle for average looking guys.

Same.
