Are more attractive women better lovers?

I am not the world’s greatest lover, I’ll admit. Why are people so concerned with appearance. Is a pretty woman better in bed than a less pretty woman? Or fo that matter a better companion/friend?

A pretty woman is prettier in bed. Which has no bearing on whether she is better or worse than anyone else in bed.

Nope, it’s the person not merely the woman.

Nope, it depends more on the person and compatibility.

ha ha ha ha. That is a funny question. We like attractive people because we are wired to. We want successful breeding children, so we want a nice looking mate to pass the genes on.

Does an attractive woman = good in bed, no. Bed skills are just that, skills. You either have them, don’t have them, or should learn them.

Yes more attractive women are the answer but beyond 2 it’s just too many to handle. YMMV.

I’ll venture to say that people who are comfortable with their looks/bodies are more likely to be better lovers. Not all attractive women are confident about their their appearance, but doesn’t it seem reasonable that the better-looking women would be?

The quality of the sex is in the eye/mind of the beholder.

If the man (assuming hetero here to avoid massive pronoun confusion) prefers prettier women, then he’ll have a more favorable reaction to any given level of skill/effort on the part of said woman. It’s in effect a self-fulfilling prophesy.

And of course how well she reacts has something to do with how well he’s doing his part, and that in turn depends on how hard he’s trying, which may have a lot to do with whether he thinks she’s a babe or a beast.

At the risk of a bad pun, in general better looks (on both sides) lubricate the excitement that leads towards quality sex. But lack of skill or lack of give-a-shit can more than offset that tendency in any particular case.

If a woman is fantastic in bed it just makes her appear better looking to you.

If a conventionally attractive girl is bad in bed then it doesn’t make her any less attractive - just not very satisfying.

I’d say we’re wired to look for pretty mates because that’s what our media-driven culture has conditioned us to like. I dare say that a few centuries ago a heavier set woman would have been the peak of attractiveness as this implies healthy.

Absolutely more. For myself,oh, about a half-dozen.

As with everything of this nature, there are no absolutes. Some are, some aren’t.

After years of empirical study I have determined that there is a definite inverse relationship between the “classical” beauty of a woman and the quality of oral sex she performs. I have published my findings in the Journal of Behavioral Sciences. I call the inverse proportion the “Fellatio Ratio.”

In their early attempts at pursuing partners, the unfamiliarity of the male homo sapiens sapiens with the nature of the “Fellatio Ratio” is a major cause of failed relationships.

I am female. This is not my theory, but one of a male friend of mine.

More attractive people of either sex are worse in bed (as an average, obviously, individual variation exists). The reason for this is that attractive people don’t need to put much effort into getting laid and in fact, sometimes they seem to think they are doing you such a huge favor by having sex with you that they are non-participatory. They expect you to worship them in bed, and don’t put a whole lot of effort into pleasing you.

On the other hand, less attractive people need to work to get laid and need to be good at it to get seconds. They tend to be more appreciative and enthusatic - more interested in mutual pleasure than their own needs.

Dangerosa has precisely articulated what I intended to opine in this thread.

The most spectacular-looking girl I ever went out with was, in the sack, spectacularly inert, and had perfected a sullen expression that silently communicated, “Hurry up and make me come, damn it!”

I believe I have observed a similar (although usually less pronounced) correlation in other relationships.

Don’t get me started on Snaggle-toothed Sue. :smiley:

Yep, generally true for the men I’ve slept with too. The most talented and the best looking are definitely two different groups without much overlap.

I think your friend might be confusing attractive people with self-centered, arrogant assholes.

I agree with the “You should feel priveledged(sp?) to get to sleep with me at all” vs. “Woo! I’m getting laid! I’d better be good so I can get more!” mentality of attractive vs unattractive people.

I’ve also noticed that the smaller a man’s Hoohah, the better he is at oral. Anyone else notice this?

As a matter of fact, some attractive women have the mindset of “Since I am attractive, just showing up is enough, no hard work should be expected of me.”

As one who, in his younger days, put too many years (and drunken nights) into researching this very question, I can state with utter confidence that:

*It depends on the person. *

Seriously. Some of the gorgeous ones are, as others have said, inert, and some are fantastic. Sorry to spoil people’s expectations, but you really can’t judge the food by reading the menu.

Bingo.
