Do people realize pretty women are lonely too?

I was hanging out with a buddy yesterday and we were talking about this girl he talked to at a show one time. He said there’s not even a point in talking to her cause he’s attracted to her and she has a boyfriend, even though she has come up to him at other shows.

I found this kind of insane (and I’m trying to work on his “talking to girls like a normal human being” stat) and think it’s symbolic of a wider trend I’ve seen. Beautiful women are lonely too. 90% of the time men talk to them it’s to get in their pants.

Imagine how isolating that is? What if you just want to have a normal conversation with a random and they finish it off by asking for your number? I’ve been in situations like that before with women I wasn’t attracted to and it is extremely uncomfortable. Why even engage with men at that point?

It’s like the internet has convinced dudes that we can’t be friends with a woman we find attractive. Which is stupid. I’m literally going to a show next month with some friends, including a girl I went on a date with but decided to be friends with after we mutually confessed attraction towards each other while also agreeing it was a horrible time for EITHER of us to be in a relationship. Sounds awkward? It isn’t. We’re not going to date. Nothing is awkward unless you make it awkward.

Anyways. Beautiful women are really lonely too. Their attractiveness isolates them even more so than the whole just being a woman thing. Have some empathy. Talk to that pretty girl then don’t (poorly) flirt with her.

Edit: Y’all I’m a dude. Lmao.

Edit 2: Man, the difference in perspective between the genders here is really fascinating.

With dudes I’m noticing you guys tend to disagree with me here or get stuck up on me saying to be friends with people you’re attracted to without expecting more. Which, yes, is a hard thing to do in reality. Don’t waste your time if you genuinely can’t just be friends with someone. But also don’t deprive yourself of the connection that’s so hard to come by these days just because you think someone is pretty. They’re prolly looking for that connection too. (Who knows maybe they have a single friend lol).

With ladies yall seem shocked that a man is empathizing with you 😭. Also more of you seem to have actually read the post and realized I was a guy on first read. Genuinely not sure how some people missed that.

Edit 3: this isn’t the most relevant thing in the world but I see a lot of comments about how guys need to be six feet tall and rich to have any chance in the world. That’s not true. I’m 5’7, I’ve had plenty of women who were into me. None of it has worked out yet but I’m still young lol. That height based eugenics is holding y’all back.

Edit 4: Please, don’t dm me based off this post. I hardly use reddit and that is weird.
