Appearance is intitially important, but becomes less so as a relationship developes.
Men and women judge each other as potential mates, on different criterion. Regardless of age, men placed the greatest importance on a woman’s physical attractiveness and youth, while women place the greatest importance on a man’s social status, job prospects, ambition, physical strength, and on personality traits and behaviors associated with commitment.
A man’s accomplishments and self worth determine his choice of the type woman he seeks to meet. Confident, successful, good looking men are more likely to approach and date the very attractive women. Men who are less successful, less good looking, and have less confidence in themselves are more likely to approach less attractive women than attractive women.
Being Slightly Less Attractive Has it’s Advantages
Most men generally think their chances of being accepted by very attractive women are small so they are reluctant to approach them. A man will only approach a very attractive woman if he thinks his advances will be favorably received. Otherwise he will turn his attention to a slightly less attractive woman with whom he thinks he can get and keep.
Beautiful women generally trust men less because the men who have the confidence to approach them are typically aggressive men who are used to getting their way with women. As a result of these experiences beautiful women expect that every man is interested in them just because they are beautiful. And many times, they’re right.
In addition, beautiful women are often less skillful in initiating and maintaining a conversation. They’re used to the passive role and haven’t needed to develop the social skills to converse well. Therefore they are more dependent on their suitor to do the work of maintaining the conversation. They may have more opportunities and offers, but because of their dependence on the passive role, they are at the mercy of the more aggressive men who ask them out.
What Keeps a Man
While your appearance will get a man’s attention, it takes personality to keep it. Physical attractiveness is most important in the beginning of a relationship and gradually decreases in importance in subsequent encounters. As couples spend time with each other, more information is revealed and impressions of each other change. As he finds out more about your personality, history and interests, your physical attractiveness will becomes less important.
Very often you will see that the most beautiful women tend to go through a lot of men. It would appear they can’t keep them. Ever wonder why? Because men like to be seen with a beautiful woman. It’s good for their ego. But few men will continue dating a woman for her looks alone. While physical attractiveness might be all that counts in initially selecting a woman, after dating her for a while, character, personality and mutual interests will become an issue and ultimately effect the decision of whether they continue the relationship.
Men Will Choose Different Types of Women for Different Types of Relationships
When it comes to getting serious, men make a distinction between short-term women and long-term women. When a man is looking for a serious relationship and a mother to his children, his priorities for a mate are different. An interesting example comes from a television show. Do you remember “Gilligan’s Island?” Ginger was the glamorous movie star and Mary Ann was the homey country girl. Well in real life, fan mail and marriage proposals ran 10 or 20 times in favor of plain and homey (but attractive) Maryann over beautiful and glamorous Ginger.
Even if a man marries that beautiful woman, often times he will want her to tone her appearance down. It’s not uncommon for a woman’s beautiful looks to become a burden to their relationship after she’s married.
A woman will get more attractive to a man as the relationship develops because he sees more things in her that he likes and needs. As a relationship grows, physical appearance becomes less important.
