Is dating a beautiful woman all that different from dating an average-looking gal?

Oh sure, I know what you're thinking. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. But really, there are some ladies that are so beautiful it seems as if they won the genetic lottery. If you're a guy, do you feel threatened by them? Do you act differently in front of them? And how do you go about asking them out?

There's an article over at AskMen that suggests the way to keep a gorgeous woman interested is to basically treat her poorly. The article does a fair bit of generalizing by saying, " very attractive women have their dark side and can be shallow, self-centered and self-absorbed, not to mention that many of them are selfish, think that their vaginas are gold-plated, and are manipulators, among many other negative qualities."

Ouch! They go on to offer advice that suggests men should treat a beautiful gal "like she's nothing special" and "don't hit on her." And yet, how many times have we heard about beautiful woman complaining that no one asks them out? Many of those end up going out with the average joe simply because he's the only one that showed his interest.

As always, I'm interested in hearing your opinions on this. What do you think? Do beautiful women intimidate you? Do you agree that you should treat them differently?

And for the ladies, does it make you want a guy more when he ignores you?
