Interesting perspective on this men vs. women. Really attractive guys want the attention and are thrilled if it gains them more sex. Not the case for females

This sounds true for men but I feel like being an attractive woman likely puts a target on you from a bunch of people you have no interest in

I’m gonna be generous and assume that you aren’t aware but calling women “females” is a blood red flag. Especially when discussing attractiveness or difference between men and women societally.
You ain’t a scientist studying the courting rituals of exotic bird species. These are people.
Word of friendly advice, break yourself of that habit and stop worrying about physical attractiveness.

Women have much higher rates of being sexually assaulted than men. But unwanted sexual harassment can increase with both sexes which is an objective negative. More attractive women are also more likely to have their intelligence questioned compared to a more attractive male. There are also issues of not knowing if people like you for your character or just your appearance that negatively affects everyone. The point is life isn’t just better in every way if you are attractive there are some downsides as well

For women it’s a two-way street. Yes, it gets you more jobs and more friends, but it definitely also gets the creeps lined up around the block. Plus, some of those friends and jobs only happened because someone wanted to bang you, and that gets dangerous fast.
