Question #11 - Hot Guys = Manwhores?

Is it just me, or are all hot guys manwhores?

There's good news and bad news; the good news is, it's not just you! Actually, that's the bad news too. Hmm...

On a serious note: extremely attractive guys often DO seem to be equally promiscuous. Is that a universal truth? Probably not. (Note the 'probably'...)

I do have a theory, though. Attractive people in general tend to be more self-confident; they receive more praise and attention throughout their lives. This results from a subconscious human misconception that beauty means goodness, which dates back to primal evolutionary survival techniques.

For example: If you were a peacock, would you mate with the dull, average looking peacock, or the one with fantastic feathers? The second's pretty plumage indicates two things: one, it has good genes, and two, it has really good genes. After all, it not only looks nice; it's also boss/smart/healthy/fast enough to have the free time to groom itself. In other words, your little pea-chicks will probably survive in the big bad world.

Thank you, Mrs. Bessy, for giving me the biology knowledge
to write the above paragraph. 

We, however, are not talking about peacocks. The point of that example was to show that the human desire to be surrounded by attractive people very much exists, if not on a conscious level. Therefore these attractive people become accustomed to having a "following"; they learn to be charismatic and approachable, which makes them popular and very good at working a crowd.

But it does more than just that! For at least a decently large percentage of the "attractive" population (dare I say males especially?), it gives them a sense of entitlement; all these people are attracted to them, so don't they have the right, if not obligation, to make use of it? Whether it be excessive flirting or promiscuity, it tends to go down like that.

Obviously this doesn't apply to everyone/male that society would deem as attractive; some of those people are rude, obnoxious, have morals, or have an affinity to commitment.

(That last bit was kind of a joke. What I meant to say, question-asker, was that there are some "hot guys" out there who aren't players. I wish you luck in finding them.)
