View submission: What's something you never understood about the opposite gender?
I have a very good friend who is probably the most attractive woman I have ever met. Like stunningly beautiful. She is perpetually single. I have never met a boyfriend, girlfriend, FWB, nothing. She seems to enjoy being that way. I've never asked if she just doesn't like sex or just simply extremely private about that. It's none of my business. But it does peak my curiosity sometimes. She is one of the sweetest, nicest people I know. She could have literally anyone. Whenever I hear that dating can be hard for hot people because their attractiveness is so intimidating, I think of her. Like is that what is happening?

Very attractive people are difficult to pair. Especially women. Even if they’d be willing to accept someone not as attractive, the partner would develop insecurities. So it only works if they can find the cream of the crop. But those men have options, and aren’t going to be interested in pairing-up.
For those women, they have to hit the trifecta of handsome man, good partner (according to her preferences), and being interested in a long term thing.
