Women benefit more (when it comes to getting attention) from having good looks, compared to men. That's imo, also a brutal blackpill. .
"Further studies have shown that both female and male participants demonstrate attentional bias toward HA female faces but not toward HA male faces (Maner et al., 2003, 2007a).
For example, an eye-movement tracking study revealed that participants showed longer total fixation time and first fixation time for HA faces compared with LA faces.
Notably, the difference of fixation time between HA (high attractive) and LA (low attractive) faces was larger for female faces than that for male faces (Leder et al., 2010).
Consistently, neurophysiological evidence has also suggested that heterosexual women showed a greater difference in LPP response to the HA versus LA same-sex faces than did heterosexual men (Hahn et al., 2016).
According to evolutionary theory, women may focus on their potential rivals in mate selection, as these HA rivals are threats for these women in attracting satisfactory mates (Maner et al., 2007b; Maner and Ackerman, 2015). Therefore, women may also show attentional bias to HA female faces. However, HA men may not be valid threats to other men in mate selection. Men may thus not show attentional bias toward HA male faces. Therefore, evolutionary theory predicts that both men and women will show attentional bias toward HA female faces. "
