Here's the scenario..
There's this guy I know. His hairline was receeding when he was still in high school. Best way to describe him is dad-bod with a Jason Statham hairline gig going on, without the rugged handsomeness. Nothing unique or exceptional about him... Not successful, from an ordinary lower middle class family, not smart, no stud chick magnet so he's no Ron Jeremy if you catch my drift. For all intents and purposes he's plain average, except for his looks. Which are below average.
Now that I've set the stage and the context...
He's dating a girl younger than him that is distinctively better looking than him. Clearly has much more pull on the sexual marketplace. She's no supermodel though, but this is relative to how average this guy is. If I were to be objective, I'd say she would be a 7.5 at her best. While he's aesthetically around a 4.5.
My point with this is... What is her intention behind getting into business with someone of much lower value than herself? I've come to 3 conclusions.
1. She historically has had low self-esteem issues perhaps like most originating in the teenage years. This ideology is tied to the whole "dad-bod" craze. When you really relate it to relationships it's much the same. Females valued the dad-bod, because of how it made themselves feel. Girls with self-esteem issues want to be with someone who is clearly of lower quality than them. This reassures and validates their internal self-esteem issues. It's also very much a power dynamic. She holds the chips in the relationship. She is the one that is sacrificing and playing down to the competition.
2. She is attracted to that old school tough-rugged manliness that is accentuated by shitty hairlines and stubble... Even in the 20's. This is tied into point 3.
3. She has daddy issues. A love-hate relationship with her father, she is forever looking for that father figure, and seeks it out in the men she dates. This is reflected visually by how those men look.
It's most likely point 1.
Thoughts?
