Why do many average or worse looking men pick apart gorgous women’s appearance?

r/

Do these people forget how their faces look when they talk out of it? I consider myself average at best, so I don’t go up to literal gods and goddesses like “uhhmm actually your eyelashes are kiiiinda short and you have hip dips”, wtf.

    What women ring attractive is different to what men like.

    Most men prefer little makeup no plastic surgery etc..

    Because it’s all they have to make themselves feel better about their massive amounts of insecurities.

    Because they’re raised and socialised (as women are) to believe a woman’s worth is her fuckability and that if you respect only women you like to fuck, gave birth to you or are blood in any other way, you can point to that and say that you’re not a misogynist. But you are.

    Same way women are socialised into believing they’re only as valuable as their desirability, no matter if it comes from troll looking men, they’re still men.

    It’s like designed to keep women down. If they keep playing the game.

    That’s called negging and is a ‘pickup artist’ technique.

    Insecurity about themselves, i.e. projecting their own shortcomings on others, and to them, women are easy targets, especially when they aren’t required to interact with them

    I call BS. No man has ever complained about short eyelashes. If anything stop with the giant fake ones.

    Negging so those women will feel insecure about themselves

    Same reason they critique world class fighters abilities while they can barely stand up without getting out of breath.

    Various reasons.

    1. they are incels who hate women and want to tear them down.

    2. Some men have overinflated sense of self. because women often seek partners for different reasons than just physical attraction. Emotional compatibility as well as financial security. When you see good looking young women on dates with older less attractive men its not always an escort. Point is the fact that some men can get women that based on looks alone are way out of their league can lead to comfort in denigrating women who should be out of their league because other factors put them in their league.

    3. Humans are just hugely unaware of themselves. You see people all the time pick people apart for things that they themselves are no better at. This goes both ways, i’ve seen plenty of obese women talk about how they won’t date a man who’s not 6′ or doesn’t make $X. People are just weird.

    Look up ‘incel’. These guys have nothing to lose.

    It’s the sour grapes mentality. They know they could never get a girl like that, so in order to lessen their feelings of inadequacy. They diminish her to feel better about themselves. It’s not that complicated lol

    Women are worse to one another. So whatevs.

    That’s just how they cope with not being happy with themselves. They think that if they take down other people, their life would feel better

    It goes to show the “value” of having conventional good looks, doesn’t it?  Why do people who think they are attractive think that is in any way a virtue and not just luck of the draw?

  19. TFlarz Avatar

    And I’m sure no one’s picking apart the men’s appearance like your question just did.

    Just saying.

    They can be compenasting for “pretty privilege”. They see some advantage that they deem unfair* and try to act like it’s not a thing. Jelaousy, frustration, bitterness. Women doing better because they exist anger them. Source: I’m a jealous type of person and it’s hard to overcome, I see patterns

    * I’m not saying it’s unfair, I’m saying what they think

    Our culture objectifies women. It’s something men learn early on…

    Misogyny. They’ve been told to believe they’re better than women.

    Because most men are not judged on their looks. You can be one ugly son of a bitch and still have a good looking partner if you’re successful/rich. This gives the impression for young and old morons that they can critique every woman looks they see. Even if she is smarter or more successful.

    Our brains are constantly generating judgements. Talentless people judge Picasso, weak fat turds judge athletes, ugly people judge models.

    But just because brain generated content, doesn’t mean it’s worth sharing. My brain often generates disgust when I see an especially ugly couple but I talk to my brain and tell them: “stfu, these guys look happier than you and they could be very nice people” and we cool for a while. 

    You can’t help what thoughts occur to you, but you can decide to keep you sewage to yourself and feed the nice wolf.

    I think humans just like to discuss their opinions. It’s the whole armchair quarterback phenomenon. What your qualities are in comparison or how much you actually know about the subject doesn’t factor into it.

    Just a reminder that not being good at something yourself does not mean that you can’t critique how good other people are at it. Be that looks, sports, art or whatever.

    Not saying people should be mean or rude while judging a performance or appearance, but their opinion also shouldn’t be disregarded just because they haven’t achieved that thing. Or, in this case, haven’t been gifted with it.

    Honestly, telling someone that they have no right to comment on other peoples looks just because they are ugly is quite rude and straight up just bodyshaming by itself.

    I think most men are picky about women’s appearance. You just notice the ugly guys opinion more because it’s pretentious

    it’s weird experiencing this in real life. I agree with what others have said, but additionally I think it’s control. i’ve had men I know are attracted to me do a 180 and start picking at little stuff. especially when they’re mad. it’s like they think we need their compliments and withholding them has power.

    Because everyone has an opinion. looks don’t make that option more, or less valuable.

    Same reason you just said “Do these people forget how their faces look when they talk out of it?” Beauty is subjective but societal norms has said some people are gorgeous while others are average AND some are even “worse looking”. Belonging in any of these categories that society seems to have agreed upon, doesn’t make you more or less worthy to share your opinion on what you find to be attractive.

    It’s wild how some men think being brutally honest about women’s looks is their divine calling. Like sir, your profile pic is taken from the same angle my cat uses to beg for treats, maybe sit this one out.

  36. yokyopeli09 Avatar

    They’re insecure and secretly or not so secretly believe they have no chance with women they consider out of their league, so they pick them apart and tear them down to makes themselves feel better.

    It’s a thing Aesop wrote about in the fifth century BC. Sour Grapes – telling yourself you don’t want what you can’t have, because there’s something wrong with it.

    Not – she’s gorgeous, I’ve got no chance. But – she’s not so hot, I don’t want her.

    Not sure, but it’s one of those things that grind my gears because most of them can’t roast a person properly anyways…

  39. Puzzleheaded_Yak9229 Avatar

    Because they are jealous, insecure, or know she’ll never have them.

    People hate what they can’t be/have

    I’ve also realized SOME men have some real hidden issues, and would actually much rather BE that hot woman than the man they are…so they hate on her because they ain’t her

    Is’nt that the whole strategy of getting viewership for reality shows? couch potatoes passing judgement.

    They’re not people they’re products to them that “if they were rich enough” they could buy, like complaining about the latest Ferrari whilst they knock about in a Fiat Punto.

    But honestly why not? It entertains them for whatever reason and it does not do any harm to anyone so why does it bother you?

    Everyone’s a critique, some don’t care what others have to say. Dont dish it out if you can’t take it either. Some are brats and gotta be reminded.

    My personal theory but I think it’s 5D chess by the elites, they say they want to boost manufacturing for the jobs, use government subsidies to build new factories that incorporate AI and automation, then manufacture without actually adding jobs. The rich get richer and own the factory that our taxes helped pay for. I may be pessimistic, but I can’t fathom the rich ever using AI/Automation to elevate humanity, they will only enrich themselves. I hope I’m either wrong or the people rise up and take the power back from the rich… by any means necessary.

    Insecurity. They want to bring other people down with them.

    Why do gorgeous women feel they are above any opinion or criticism from an average or “worse looking” man?

    What does average or “worse looking” men even mean? Putting this label seems really suspicious and agenda seeking in my opinion.

    Odd, usually it’s the women tearing each other apart.
