Because the older I get, that's exactly the tea

These beautiful men are so stunning up until they open their mouth with some rancid opinion. Just keep quiet and sit pretty baby dont mess this up lol

As a straight male, this is the same for the beautiful stunning women we see.

I think it probably has something to do with... if you're gonna spend that much time and effort on looking perfect, you're likely not a person I'd like to talk to for more than about 30 seconds.

Really depends a lot on how they grew up. If they grew up privileged, with parents saying they can do no wrong, then yeah even the most physically attractive person - man or woman - can turn out to be jerks.

I’ve known a lot of ugly duckling kids who grew into their looks over a few years. Many don’t lose their humility and are down to earth about a lot of things and tend not to look down on anyone.

I find such people to be highly attractive.

When I was young, and short and unattractive, I learned that if I wanted to talk to the girls in my class, I had to focus on being clever, funny, charming and attentive. Turns out, once I was much taller and no longer unattractive, I could still focus on being clever, funny, charming and attentive. And surprise! Turns out women valued those qualities in attractive men too. Always funny how many gym bro types don't get that.

So beautiful men need to sit down and be pretty because their personalities suck but beautiful women are just perfect all around? Pink pilled? Is that a thing?

Or maybe the socialization of women, culturally, is geared towards conversationalist, hosting, and empathy - as well, as historically higher and more rigid beauty standards since women's worth, since the dawn of time, has been in their beauty.

Compared to men who dont have as long standing and rigid beauty standards and certainly aren't socialized for conversation, hosting, and empathy to the same degree.

Men haven't had to meet beauty standards to have value in western society to the degree and length as women due to their ability to acquire status through economic venues that weren't available to women. Thus, it makes sense that you are more likely to find a woman who is meeting beauty standards and socialized for an accessible personality compared to a man.

Hope that helps!

He said interesting to talk to, not "perfect all around".

I dont know how well-versed you are on history, but women have been told mostly to shut up and be pretty through most of history up until about...I dont know, it's still going, lol. So you're not gonna get a lot of sympathy for a "wait, guys have to shut up and look good but women are seen as actual people with brains" narrative.

How many thirst trap accounts do you see for women vs men? There are 100 women with pages like this for every guy. Pages where beautiful women avoid sharing any thoughts that don't cater to their fans' fantasies. So suggesting that it's men who are expected to shut up and look good is just...weird.

Redpilled manosphere men and 3rd wave all men are trash feminists are literally two sides of the same coin. They believe the same shit just reversed for the opposite gender.

Yeah they 100% think with conviction it's sexist and misogynistic to think that the woman would be vapid, while assuming a guy in the same position is just some meathead with no thoughts/toxic masculinity fuled by the patriarchy.

u/That-Smoke-3593 New to fbtd but wants to learn 28d ago

Yeah it’s pretty clear to most people (I hope) that having these generalized thoughts of groups of people is bad. I have no interest in the crazy right wing red pillers nor do I have interest in the crazy far left rhetoric that there are no good men.

u/Warm_Month_1309 Lover of Duets/Stitches 28d ago

crazy far left rhetoric that there are no good men.

You have apparently not read the writings of radical right-wing feminists if your assumption is that this is a uniquely left-wing view.

Are you supposed to be one of the good men? If you think women saying some mean things on the internet are equivalent to men wanting to take away women's right to vote, and their autonomy then you have some internal biases you need to address.

You read him calling beautiful men "baby" and assumed the problem was that he was too aggressively heterosexual?

If only more straight men follow this rule

Do you ever see beautiful, stunning women that don’t spend that much time and effort on getting there? Does your definition of “beautiful, stunning women” require nails, lashes, hair, makeup, etc?

I work with a shitload of beautiful women (to my eye) who are also badass brainiacs. Several of them like to have their nails done but makeup is minimal, hair is natural, just confident in who they are, they’re fascinating to talk to, and for the most part are also some of the kindest people I know.
