We are hard wired to be attracted to certain things, and it cuts cultural, religious, and racial lines.
Women like tall (but not too tall) muscular chest, arms, smart, hard working. (They have to know you are good at SOMETHING, even distance running counts.)
Men like boobs, butts, long hair, youth (or youthful looking)
Anyone straying away from the most basic "likes" is just settling.
I think quite a few of us have to just "settle" for a partner if you don't want to be single all your life. Decades ago, I got tired of being rejected from attractive women. I got tired of being single and looked at as a "loser" and wanting to get married and have a family, I settled for someone that I wasn't all that attracted to.
Though I had a good job making decent money, owning a home and driving a nice car and all that, I had some physical flaws that attractive women don't like. First of all, I'm not best looking dude on the block. Lol. Secondly, at 5-6 with a distance runner built, I'm considered a runt to a lot of women. Too short, too thin and not good looking enough was why my resume got rejected so many times.
These beautiful women always said I was "charming" and a "real nice guy" and many wanted to put me in their friend zone. ? But at the end of the day, most attractive women want a hot guy who's good looking and tall with a very muscular built. And of course, a good job, nice car, nice home, etc, will also be on their check list.
