Question

Is it sad or cool that unremarkable conflict-avoiding, whining beta-males can land a hottie out of sheer pity?

Answer 1

There are individuals in both genders who prefer to date people they see as 'inferior' to them - generally, these are people with egomaniacal issues who feel that they need constant sources of flattery, both explicit and implicit, and this overwhelms their desire to be with someone they regard as an equal.

I wouldn't regard it as 'sad' or 'cool' - individuals' preferences in dating, so long as they're not abusive or oppressive to others, are none of my business.

Answer 2

No one dates a man out of pity. Well, no one I know.

Answer 3

It's not pity that attracts her it is the fact that she can control and dominate him.

Answer 4

They can? Not on my watch.  

Answer 5

It is sad. And it will not last as pity will only take you so far.

Answer 6

Did you get laid last night, Ronnie?

Congratulations!!

Answer 7

Little puffters with their bleedin ironed hair hate them.

Answer 8

It may be good for a one night stand, but I would not recommend it for a life long commitment.  

Answer 9

LOLzzzz.. u guys are so eFFed up...

so what are u guys ... a bunch of wannabe Stanley Kowalski (Marlon Brando) from "A Streetcar Named Desire".

Answer 10

Seems as though the "alpha males" in GWS do the most whinning ....

Answer 11

Some women fall in love with men who you would expect them to look down on, Ronnie. Shocking but true!

Answer 12

I don't know any woman, hottie or not, that would be with a guy out of sheer pity. Maybe the hottie likes something about the guy or sees things in him that others don't.  

Answer 13

Why? Jealous?

Answer 14

Some women are tired of being hurt by alpha-males jerks so we go with a safer option.

Answer 15

To the feminist, you have described an enlightened man.

Answer 16

I wouldn't date a man out of pity if he has the sense to avoid conflicts. In fact, I'd admire him. Who'd want to date an aggressor?

As for the beta-male thing, I'd rather date them as opposed to the supposed "alpha-males": The majority seem to have a better personality and equate, if not surpass, the aplhas with their looks.
