Men just have it easier

I was just thinking about some gender related topics and it occurred to me that even though it's 2007 and we've come a long way, women are still kind of disadvantaged when it comes to requirements and qualities.

Here's a list of qualities that make men attractive:
-good looks
-being funny
-being rich
-having a powerful job
-being thoughtful/considerate
-being in a band
-education

and a list of qualities that make women attractive:
-good looks
-a  serviceable personality
-a functional brain
...

Ok, ok, i'm exaggerating..

But still, the requirements for women today are skewed towards looks. When women size men up, they might consider several factors, whereas men just assess physical attributes. The point i'm making is that men have  options to improve their worthiness (superficial or not) - sad but true.

And, anecdotally, how many times have we heard of amazing women who stick with unremarkable men because they are funny or treat them well, but never the converse? How many times have we heard of men who will put up with cruel women just because they are hot?

Well I thought i'd just put that out there as food for discussion.

And if they don't have brains and are too damn ugly to get anyone to let them put out they act like camwhores on /b/ where they get laughed at and insulted until they cry and kill themselves.

At least I hope that last part happens.
