It's an unfair advantage, but it exists. The same advantage does not remain for women unless they retain an exceptional beauty with age. I can also say that women can be less scrutinizing where I come from -- and if my brief experiences after one of the floods are any indication, a woman properly awakened is exposed to sensations that we as men must be very creative to experience ourselves, if we ever do. It does not so much require a handsome man to make that happen for them. However, I find myself in short supply when finding men who are versatile enough to take the reigns that do not scrutinize first. They have more choices.
