I think that many of you are missing the point. Let's approach this discussion reasonably and, one would hope, fruitfully. Yes, tall, good-looking men with lots of money have an advantage in the dating game; this is no more a secret than the fact that super-hot babes wearing size 1 dresses have an advantage over their date-seeking sisters. Complaining about it does not and never will change ths reality.

What can one do? First, if you are a man who is consistently being rejected by the women you choose to approach, and there is nothing obviously and drastically "wrong" with you, you might have to adjust your expectations. In short (no pun intended), lower your bar. Yes, you heard me correctly. If you are consistently failing at getting women's attention, if you find yourself constantly complaining that women "only want tall, George Clooney types," if dating has become so overwhelmingly frustrating to you, then you are chasing women who have lots of options and don't view you--for whatever reason--as datable. So, try dating women whom you might have considered "less than" you deserve and see what happens. You might become pleasantly surprised.

Second, I do know short, relatively average-looking men, who are not rich, yet do very well with women. You, however, would never hear these men complaining about the choices women make. You would never hear them complain how women only want tall, rich, and handsome men. The primary reason you would never hear them make such complaints is simply that it has not been their experience. More important, though, is that their perosnality is just not the type that would ever think that way. It is not in their nature to pontificate about the percieved injustice of women ignoring them for more preferable men. Women pick up on this fact, and they like it--they can't help but be attracted to such a dynamic.

In closing, read this sensible article and rather than critique it negatively and invoke the standard mantras of self-pity, see what you can do to become that guy.

Now, go and sin no more.
^^^^billiant! This is the truth.

I would go for the Ben Stiller/Jason Alexander/Adam Sandler type, over the Tom Cruise/George Clooney type any day, because there is a charm about them, through their humor that makes them sexy to me.In fact, Conan O'Brien or Dave Letterman have a quick wit and intellect that is very attractive. I find that at my age, most men who are very good looking, and have money, are dating much younger women and it is all superficial. I want substance, laughter, and respect. It is about projecting confidence.

Ah, come on, Smileygirl. George Clooney? He's got looks, charm, charisma--what is not to like? He also has a great sense of humor. He's known throughout Hollywood as being a very fun guy. He's the Cary Grant of his generation! No woman can resist him.

Once again the falacy prevails, if your not 5'10", and athletic and you don't look like the magazine guys eHarmony uses on their commercials then the 4 things you mention don't mean a thing. I have all of those characteristics naturally, I may not have perfected them all but who has? The majority of women seem to care the most about if you will be taller than they are when they wear there heels (at least by 3 inches) and are you good looking enough to strike a little envy in her girlfriends or to at least compliment her ego. Strange but true........ I have talked with many women over the last 4 years and had wonderful conversations, laughs and starts of great relationships. We meet and they automatically say there is no "instant spark". I may not be tall (5'7") or "GQ" but I am intelligent, I dress well have a great sense of humor, treat all women as a gentleman should and connsider myself to be average to good looking, I am no Ogre. I am just not 8 inches taller than they are or arm candy. It is so funny to me, I just laugh now......
"no instant spark" is my favorite.

Oh Rocchio, would I go on a date with him? His wit, charm, intellect, humor and obvious good looks would make him a great date. Would I want a relationship with a 50 year old man, who can't stay in a committed relationship, get married and / or have a family? No, I don't think that would interest me. Lets face it, the women who date a man like George think that they will finally be the "one", and the truth is, he seems like a very happy bachelor.

Ah, yes, that's true. You make a good point. I have a friend like George. He has always dated younger women. He has always said "no kids." He's 54 and this Spring he's marrying a 36 year old hottie and they plan on having a wonderful family--and they, no doubt will. It's tempting to comfort ourselves witht he idea that men like George, and my buddy, will get old and lonely someday--some kind of dating karma. The truth, however, is that George will eventually pull a "Michael Douglas" and marry a woman half of his age, have kids, and become a good dad, after a thirty year stretch of dating young and beautiful women. It's what any man would want--if he could pull it off.

Until I came to these forums I always thought the older women had the "woe is me" attitude over not being able to attract men.

Interesting that the "bitter" attitude towards dating and blaming the opposite sex for being shallow is not restricted to a single gender.
