Serious question: How do you imagine your life would be different if you were significantly less attractive? What if you were significantly more attractive? Do you think people would treat you differently? Would you feel differently about yourself?
I don't think I'd be that affected if I was less attractive... I might not get so many girls hitting on me, but whatever... On the other hand, I don't think I could be any more attractive than I already am. Hell, I'm pretty much perfect... I dunno how you can improve perfection. Seriously though, I love the way I am, I wouldn't want to be even more attractive, I get too much attention as it is... I really don't want any more.
It wouldn't be any different except that less women would flirt with me and my girlfriends could possibly be less attractive. For the most part I have trouble getting women anyway so it wouldn't be a big change.
i think if i was less attractive i'd probably put more effort into getting a career and if i was more attractive i'd be a model and have millions of dollars right now people would treat me considerablly different if i was uglier people only talk to me as it is because i am attractive, if i was uglier then no one would talk to me
Seriously, I would feel less worthy. I would feel as if I had to prove myself even more than I do now. Looks are a touchy issue for me. Probably slightly better self confidence, I would say. As far as other people go, kids are cruel.
Yes. Usually more than personality. Hell, I'm not a shallow guy, but I can honestly say that I wouldn't ever date a fatty... even if she was the most compatible girl in the world for me personality-wise.
hmm.. I can imagine my life being ugly, yes. I have other qualities that are much more important than my looks, so, the only difference would be.. I couldn't get laid by whoever I wanted anymore ha ha ha and maybe I wouldn't get some things as easily as I do know, since we live an a society where physical appearance is so important.. if I was more attractive.. uh.. maybe I could.. I don't know, I don't that would change much from now. Would I feel different about myself? I don't how I'd feel being ugly.. I can't relate.. really.. maybe I'd be content cause as I said, I have other more important qualities - maybe I wouldn't be so obsessed with looking good out and buying sexy clothes and shoes.. haha that would be a good thing.
It's honest. Gotta love honesty. Still don't understand it though. What happens when you get past the looks?
Yeah, but would you drop a pretty but slightly plain looking girl who is compatible for you for a stunning girl who is less compatible? I wouldn't. Compatibility is hard to find, unless you're an idiot.
I don't see what's there to not understand. Personality is next to irrelevant when it comes to our biological needs as animals. We instinctively select the most appealing mate. Obviously there are cultural factors and other things that play into the decision, but all in all... as animals... we select our mate based on appearance alone (and maybe a few more primal personality characteristics such as confidence, aggression, leadership, and so on) Hell, in the wild with other mammals the female doesn't even always get to select the male. Biologically, personality is next to irrelevant.
you must be really naive to think that looks don't matter that much we live in a world where they matter a fuckload perhaps you're really pretty and never had to deal with this concept personality is important, but if you're pretty you can be a total asshole/bitch the better looking you are the more you can get away with once you get past looks well, that sometimes matters sometimes doesn't there are alot of shallow people in this world that would do anything for a pretty girl
edit: Are you talking about sexual attraction and 'mating'? Long term relationships and companionships have to be based on something other than physical attraction.
They always start with attraction though. ...then people simply get so used to each other than they can't live without the other.
Very true indian summer. Attractive people get the benefit of the doubt in almost every aspect of life.
I dont think its the 10/10s that get it best, yes they may get it better in some regards, but everyone else gets bitchy. Especially in terms of getting on with everyone else, I think those in the 4/10-7/10 range get it best. I think the world is geared more for those closer to average
I'm not that pretty but still find it easy to get "mates". In fact my pic is on my profile. But what confuses me is: What the hell do you talk about if it's all about looks? Is it mate and run? Do you talk about cosmetics? Cosmo and vogue articles? I know I'm blonde but I really don't get this. I may have few primal instincts, I guess. I just like personality and am really not very visual. Not putting anyone down for liking the looks first. Just interested in points of view.
