As a woman, I’ve always been aware of how men grade women on looks.
But I never realized the extent to which men judge women based on appearance until I heard an old saying that stated “men grade women on looks from A to F, while women grade men on earning power from A to F.”
This saying made me consider the dating game from a different angle. Women may be viewed as the weaker gender, but when it comes to evaluating potential partners, we’re definitely the more discerning gender.
I understand why men grade women on looks.
It’s a primal instinct, and men are attracted to physical beauty. But what I don’t understand is why men are so quick to judge a woman based solely on her looks. Sure, physical beauty is nice, but there’s so much more to a woman than her appearance.
On the flip side, I think it’s totally reasonable for women to grade men on earning power. Women are naturally drawn to men who can provide for them financially because it’s a sign of stability and security. We want to make sure that our partners can provide for us and our future family, so it makes sense for us to evaluate a man’s financial status.
For me personally, looks and earning power are both important factors when I’m evaluating potential partners. But I don’t think either should be the sole basis for judgement. A man can be physically attractive and have a great job, but if he doesn’t have any other qualities, like intelligence, values, and a sense of humor, then I’m not likely to be interested.
I believe that the key to a successful relationship is finding someone who’s attractive both inside and out. Someone who’s physically attractive and has a great job is a bonus, but I’d rather find someone who also has a kind heart, a great sense of humor, and a shared set of values.
At the end of the day, I think it’s important to remember that no one is perfect. We all have flaws, and that’s okay. Instead of judging someone based solely on looks or earning power, we should look for the qualities that make a person unique and special. That’s what really matters in the long run.
