I think a lot of guys think it's easier to be a hot woman because of stereotypical benefits like not having to pay for drinks at clubs, etc.

However there are a lot of drawbacks too. Attractive woman are more likely to have low self-esteem and develop eating disorders than unattractive women. A lot of pretty women feel like the only good thing about them is their looks; many don't get taken seriously. Guys tend to assume you're sluttier. As we've mentioned here on GC, it is EXPENSIVE to maintain your hotness, and it can take a toll on your pocketbook and your emotional state.

So it has its pluses and minuses. I think the surface benefits are great -- more likely to get hired, get flirted with, get into a club -- but when you look at the deeper issues it starts to even out.
