I was reading this article, written by an "average looking" woman, about how beautiful women basically get spoiled by all the attention they get because of their looks, and don't know how to compromise or admit when they are wrong.
What I found interesting was the comments that readers posted in response to this. Most seemed to rip the author, calling her bitter, and maintained that looks didn't have anything to do with whether someone was a good person or not. While I agree with that to an extent, I do think that beautiful women are especially susceptible to getting an entitlement attitude because of all the attention that they get. Of course, a woman who doesn't get enough attention can get a bitter, hateful attitude also.
I thought a lot of the readers sticking up for the beautiful women were probably average looking females who were convinced THEY were exceptionally beautiful.
One comment I thought was interesting was someone who said that beautiful women had it hard because the only guys who would approach them were the players/****y type - the "nice, normal" men didn't have the guts. This suggests to me that a lot of women actually do prefer "nice, normal" type guys, but go out with players because they're the only ones who approach them. It also explains some of the impatience some girls display when getting hit on - they are likely tired of dealing with all the player types.
The point is, I think a lot of "nice, normal" type guys could do quite well with females as long as they remember to be masculine, remember their value, and to have the guts to approach.
