The “Hottest” Girl Fallacy…Looks Can Be Deceiving

Hi I'm Brad Jackson. The full blog you're reading is below, but I created PUMA Skills to teach guys how to use pick up artist magic tricks to break the ice with girls.

To discover more about PUMA Skills, Magic and how to end world hunger (well, maybe the first two only)...

I just finished watching the movie Transformers 2 on pay per view.  It’s a rainy Sunday and I figured I’d glimpse back into my childhood favorite toys and an “adult” toy I wish I could play with…Megan Fox.  :-)

megan-foxIt got me thinking about girls who are the hottest of the hot and how they’re portrayed in movies.  “Perfect” usually.  They’re hot, sexy and ultimately to the leading man, “available.”

It’s Hollywood’s job to make you identify with and to a degree, become the leading man in a movie.  It’s what sucks you in and gives you so much excitement.  It’s a subtle and sophisticated art to do this, but it works.

Since the leading man almost always gets the girl, it leaves you feeling like you should too.  (And you should always get the girl…but it doesn’t always happen like that does it.)

Even more though, the girl in the movie usually has her shit together, isn’t a basket case and is deep.  She responds to all the leading man stereotypes that the movie is portraying.

In reality…the hottest of girls are rarely the way they are in the movies.  In fact, often times they really aren’t the biggest prize at all once you get past the surface looks.

Often, the “hotter” a girl is, the more baggage and emotional issues she brings with her.  I don’t think this is some brand new revelation to a lot of you guys who might be reading this.

Have you ever heard of the saying:  “Show me a hot girl and I’ll show you a guy who’s sick of her shit?”

It kind of applies here.  Usually the hotter they are they more shit there is.  Why?  Because the world treats them different and attention comes very easy for them.  They often get spoiled and lazy when it comes to developing true compassion and real social skills.

Before you start to think I’m “hatin’ on the hotties” I want you to understand the point of this whole thing.

I meet a lot of guys who are utterly fixated on getting ONLY the smokinest hottest girl there is…and anything less is a blow to their ego.  They hunt and search and some of them even score…but it doesn’t last because they’re looking for something that only really exists in the movies.

The smart, hot, fun, caring, beautiful inside-and-out girls are rare.  They are very rare.  But guys get so damn nervous when they’re approaching hot girls because they have them on this perfect little pedestal…like if they can only score THIS girl, their life is set.

When they do get her, it falls apart because that girl has real issues like real people, and often times more.

The moral of the story here is to remember a couple things.

  • The Hottest girls can be (often) a major pain in the ass.
  • Do not put girls on pedestals until they prove they deserve to be on them.  This does not mean to not respect them…you should respect everyone until they do something to lose it.
  • Don’t look past the good looking girls who aren’t perfect…they’re usually a lot easier and more fun than the supermodel types.
  • Don’t be too nervous talking to the hot ones.  She is starting off so high in your book because of her looks, that chances are, she’s got nowhere to go but down unfortunately.  If she goes up after you get to know her…you may want to hang on to that one.

I’m not encouraging yout to settle for less than the best of everything in life, but I do want you to detach yourself from the fallacy that the hottest girls are the most valuable to have.  Looks can be deceiving.

I drop by every now and then, but never have responded to a post. But this one I figured I’d reply to, for it has a very good point that I try to make aware a lot (and it’s not about looks or anything):

Don’t take anything you have for granted; and at the same time, realize that what you want may not be perfect – it may be good, but it could be bad, as well (and true, all good comes with bad, but remember that nothing is perfect and to try to be appreciative of what you do have). That’s probably one of the hardest lessons I learned, and it took a very long time – years in fact, of being ungrateful. I now view it differently: I may have a lot of hardships, but it’s formed me … and I actually am happy to be alive nowadays.

Maybe a bit unrelated to the post, maybe not – probably depends on what you’ve experienced, what kind of upbringing you had/have and even how lucky you are. Either way, good post.
