most women i know are more attracted to a character or intelligence than anything else. i know a couple more "stereotypical" women as well. like one girl which disagreed a potential boyfriend just because he is driving a small car. and i can see a big correlation with their background/upbringing

[–] BaraCoded@literature.cafe 4 points 3 hours ago

Right in the ouchies.

Hey, don't insult anon's inceligence! I bet he also has a finely a finely curated selection of k-on anime figures and essays on why wimminz should submit to men like him, which they would totally understand and fawn over him if they had galaxy brains like he has!

Kinda bordering a strawman here, but if I said

why are men attracted into the airhead type?

there would be bunch of dudes saying they are into intelligent women, and that it's just hollywood.

Dylan says "Why don't girls like me," sulking. "Hey," "Dylan" says the offscreen voice.Dylan looks over to see a giant amalgamation of women, some of them are falling as it moves. The amalgamation speaks to him. "It's me, all girls. Only you understand that all women share a consciousness, Dylan. Be one with me . Link yourself to the hivemind." Dylan has stopped sulking, as he now only cowers in fear.

(Sidenote props to the artist for drawing all those people one by one)

Men are attracted to the "airhead type" because those women are good at making men feel good about themselves and keeping up lively conversation; and though people usually prioritise companions who have the same interests as them, they enjoy talking also to a lively conversation partner, perhaps someone as-different-from-themselves as possible: someone who surprises them.

Many men feel that all women have the "airhead" quality - no, not as in they're all stupid, but as in they're lively and conversational in that stereotypical way that disrupts the man-to-man conversation; and though they do not speak to men as equals (preferring to talk over them or jerk the conversation off on some other tangent, perhaps, or dwell on uniquely feminine topics which baffle/disinterest the male listener), this is seen as no big loss, really. For women are different to men, and their presence in our lives is welcome precisely because of that rather than in spite of it.

The important thing to remember is that people change overtime and every person is more multifaceted than massive media would have us believe - so yes, that is "just Hollywood." Who's to say why a man likes an "airhead," she probably has more depth to her than you know about.

Also, this is just plain wrong.

Some women are attracted to intellectual minds.

Some women are attracted to physical strength, some women are attracted to maternal instincts, so on and so forth.

The problem is this question is usually being asked by someone who thinks that responding to every factual statement with an inflammatory counterpoint qualifies as intelligence.

A greentext that's wrong? Highly unlikely.

Allow me to make an inflammatory counterpoint to demonstrate my intelligence: this text isn't green YOU BUFFOON!

The weird definition of intelligence they are using (how to succeed in life) does kind of cover that. The definition of what success is, and the millions of ways of achieving it covers just about all variations.

[–] fizzle@quokk.au 6 points 14 hours ago

From what I've observed, intelligence doesn't count for much when it comes to "success in life", whatever that might be.

[–] phx@lemmy.world 24 points 17 hours ago (5 children)

I mean, that's a fun take but realistically there are plenty of women who put a lot more stock in looks (just as men do) an immediate financial ability.

That jock who got a job that's physically demanding might be making more out of high school, but the IT nerd who went for they education and got a good tech job was likely on a slower burn path to self-improvement with better pay, possibly improving looks over time (or at least less of a beer belly). At least before AI started killing the tech sector again, so maybe the jocks will be coming out ahead for awhile.

Also, there's also nothing wrong with being a good dude with average intelligence who works hard. Just don't pick an red-hatred idiot. And intelligent nerds who don't learn social skills can absolutely still become nasty incels.

[–] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 1 points 56 minutes ago

Women like beer bellies, and big forearms.

Everything men hate, women like.

[–] exasperation@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 12 hours ago

I wouldn't put too much stock into the jock versus nerd stereotypes.

Life isn't an RPG with stats that come at the cost of other stats. Being bad at sports doesn't make someone more likely to be good at school (if anything, the correlation might run the other way). And charisma, ambition, intelligence, physical appearance, athleticism, work ethic, are all distinct factors that sometimes feedback on each other, and feed into things like wealth, happiness, attractiveness, etc.

women are people with choices

they make different choices

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 26 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Impossible. If women had choices, then they'd have a diversity of off-spring with a wide spectrum of forms, traits, and behaviors.

We know that can't be the case, because all men are identical and perfectly interchangeable, except for a tiny variance in peak performance which they use to sort themselves from Sigma to Omega for the purpose of obtaining Da Big Sequesy to produce more Sigma clones.

What about the women that is into pepe lore or WW2 theory?

I cant decide if there's more or less of them than the ones that's into 4chan incels?

[–] musubibreakfast@lemmy.world 7 points 13 hours ago

They don't exist. If women get into pepe lore or WW2 they grow male genitalia. It's not well documented but it happens quite a lot. The body starts producing massive amounts of testosterone and the stress ages and disfigures the women and also effects their memory. Most of the male incels on 4chan are former super models who got exposed to pepe lore or WW2.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 15 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

They are irrelevant, because they are both Fake and Gay

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Can confirm: am a woman named Gayle "Gay" Fake who can't get enough cartoon frog facts and FDR/Göring slash fiction.

So success in life means actual intelligence? I disagree with that.

Success ≠ actual intelligence.

Plenty of very successful people who are complete morons.

Women are attracted to success, regardless of actual intelligence.

And of course this is a generalization. Women are not a monolith.
