Is it normal most men are unattractive to me?

My friend agrees with me on this. The average male seems to be ugly to me and I need attraction to even want to try to date. I've dated 15 people and not one of them was even average to me. I think I occasionally see a guy who is slightly above average maybe once every few months but he's obviously taken. Where are the attractive men on this planet? Even when I traveled a few hours from my home, they were just as ugly to me. My friend is the same way and has dated about 9 or 10 men and all were only average to her. My friend is really pretty btw and lots of guys flirt with her but she hates how no men seem to ever be "attractive"

Are there really no men out there? I also notice that men don't really care what they look like so they dress dorky or weird and most have shaved heads that make them look like weirdos.

  • "The average male seems to be ugly to me."

    The average guy and female aren't much to look, and the reason why the average girl seem to look better to someone is primarily due to the fact they have make up.

    I'm sort of on the same page as you, though. I find the average female not all that appealing. We just have our preferences.

    I know what you mean, guys do put a lot less effort into their appearance on average.

    I mean, c'mon, not all makeup can be used on girls only without looking like a drag queen. Concealer, foundation... Heck, even if you don't use makeup, there's plenty of skincare stuff which would help! (Moisturising cream, washing regularly, etc.) My problem is so many guys have such rough/oily skin on their face, which is a big turn off imho.

    Again, not that any guy has to or even should do this, but it probably would make them look a lot more attractive. Male celebrities, for one, definitely use this kind of stuff.

  • I agree. Then again, I am not attracted to men; in fact, I am unable to grasp how anyone could be - whether it be physically OR emotionally.

    So....perhaps you're just not attracted to men to begin with?

    You're right. The problem is I have a specific type and I am not open minded to dating men that don't meet that criteria.

    Well, as your average, most likely unattractive, twenty-six year-old, straight male, I must say.. You cannot find single attractive male because they're all taken by other attractive males. That is, they're gay. But have no fear, because females are afar more attractive species anyway.
    Girls don't need boys, there are tons of toys for that. And you can even find them all in one place, in assorted colours, arranged from big to small, thin and fat.
    In my most humble opinion, girls should all be lesbians. But I'm very terribly glad that they're not.
    So, nope. Your feelings are pretty normal. Us guys are USUALLY ugly as duck or gay. Just a fact of life.

    i know that when i was younger i wasnt as attracted to guys as i am now, maybe when you hit a certain age, guys your own age will be becoming more masculin and therefore more attractive

    or maybe you need to be more turned on then you can associate guys with being turned on and therefore find them more attractive
    i think youll come around one day

    Truly for me, I don't find most people be ugly. Everybody has their certain beauty and uniqueness to them.

    Though I am most certainly concerned for the people who do not take care of their health. Which I notice a lot need to take care of their skin, weight and body in general. I see too much smoking and people not caring at all what they eat; whether it's processed or greasy foods that most certainly cause regret in the future.

    I also do agree on that guys could take care of their skin more. Which one of the IIN users had posted about. I most certainly feel refreshed washing my face daily, it helps soothe me before I go to bed and wakes me up too.

    I thought I'd never end up with someone physically attractive because before him, I'd see maybe two good looking guys a year and they weren't really anything special. I think guys don't put as much effott into looking good as females do and that plays a lot into it for sure. I also agree with the haircuts - most have shaved or really short hair that makes them look unattractive.

    I'm incredibly grateful to have found my partner as I was attracted to him physically from before we even started speaking and now am attracted in all ways - intellect, emotional, etc.

    I can't say where the good looking guys are so I do think this is normal. Guys have it easy as I'd say most women are attractive.

    Read my profile, on what guys need to do, in order to be attractive!

    I'm not OP. I just saw this poll and had to comment.

    In a nutshell, guys should grow their hair longer. (& a few other things. But long hair is the biggest factor)

    This is really unfair to women....
    The fact that there are pretty women in our world, but rarely any attractive guys. I don't know the solution. But read my profile, and give my advice to all the guys you know!

    Women who find most men unattractive always have something in common. When you ask them what kind of men they like, or to name a male celebrity they like, they always give examples of men who don't even look like men. Like Bill Kaulitz, David Bowie or Prince. A friend of mine said she used to find Bill Kaulizt attractive, until he started to look more manly. Then all of a sudden, the appeal vanished for her. I think these women should reconsider their sexuality and stop being in denial.

      If that's the case, then men need to stop being attracted to women in magazines,and other feminine ladies.

      They need to reconsider their sexuality- Learn to like large, hairy, butch women instead. *

      Stop being in denial guys!

      (* not that being a large, hairy butch woman is a bad thing. Afterall, I am one of those three! :) But for some reason, guys are not expected to like that quality in women. But women are expected to like that in men?)

        Also having just read your bio how can you say men shouldn't be attracted to a certain type of women yet you yourself tell men how they should look?

              (?) Regardless what you think of my ideas, if you harass me on this site, I will report you as well.

              The reason Anthian is chasing me, is because I confronted her a while back- in a post where she told a kid that the kid deserved to have her abusive mom hit her. So if you join her in crowding after me, then your attitude is twisted.

          I was actually making fun of Crusades. I don’t actually mean that men have to be attracted to any certain type of woman... I as well, feel controversial about telling guys how I think they should try to look. But I feel like, I’d rather say so anyways- and I would only say that, if I feel I have a good reason.

          I talk about it, because I think it’s a significant part of what makes it a bad experience, to be a girl. That there are pretty girls everywhere, but you rarely see an attractive guy. It is embarrassing, among other things, to feel pushed aside, expected to rarely date someone you’re attracted to. Or only be able to date guys you’re not attracted to (which feels similar to being a gay man, who is expected to only date women). While you have to see and hear about guys enjoying their sexuality, with pretty girls available. I could go on and on about how it’s a bad experience, but I always write too much.

          I wish guys would try to look good for girls, just like girls do for guys. And it would be very easy for them to do so- I think most just don’t realize that longer hair would make them look better. Plus, my advice might be helpful, for guys who want to know how to be attractive to girls. So it makes me feel better to tell people.

          There are reasons why I believe both genders are attracted to hair. And I have analyzed my sexuality a lot, in order to figure this out. I have always felt nothing for short haired guys, and I can’t help it, and it’s not a choice for me. I’ve figured it out, as well, based on how other gals react to guys with a certain look. And some girls are attracted to short haired guys, & other traits I find less attractive. But that does not mean all of us are. I think a lot of us are attracted to hair, just like guys are to girls.

        Hmmm, I think that's a small percentage of men, the kind that think porn is real and that there is no such thing as photoshop, who think women must always wear make up, I think it's a little cynical to think the majority of guys are like that, despite some idiots being like that don't let them give the rest of us normal guys bad name

        You literally make no sense whatsoever. Men like feminine women from magazines, therefor they like femininity, which is associated with women. I was talking about women who are not attracted to masculinity, that's why i suggested they should reconsider their sexuality. Because they claim to be straight yet they're not attracted to traits specific to the opposite sex. Why should a straight man who likes feminine women reconsider his sexuality? He likes exactly what his sexual identity is linked to. Femininity.
        You gave the most illogical example possible to justify your argument, trying to reverse the point of view, yet you failed miserably at reversing the protagonists traits. That's kind of an oximoron. In your case, it's just the moron without the oxi.
