I'll join the club :lol:. The more I like someone the better they look to me. And when I stop liking them they stop looking good. It is pretty useful~
thro me in this pile too.

That said looks and attraction are not the same. You can be a 10 and still turn me off.

It's politically correct to put physical attractiveness down on the list of desirable traits in a partner, and I think the phrasing of some of these options in this poll show that bias.

My answer is that: it is necessary that I be physically attracted to my partner, but they don't need to be especially attractive, just attractive to some degree. That is not a high standard in my case. I don't believe there would be a sexual or romantic component to the relationship if I was not physically attracted to them.

I don't think so, but I wouldn't date someone who I find unattractive. In a relationship it would be very hard to be with someone which you aren't physically attractive to. I am not really sure :P

So is it the same for unattractive people? I.E. A technically bad looking person is not necessarily unattractive to you? Like the short, fat, bald guy even if he had great social skills.


I dated a guy that most women would consider 'unattractive' AT ALL. He was not fat or bald, but just not typically attractive.

I usually look for pretty girls, because in my experienced, it was usually the ugly girls who accuse everyone of being a rapist or a stalker.

There's is no stock in that comment; that is only your opinion that most women would find him unattractive.

You like to post comments using examples of yourself, justifying that's how "it" goes in real life for everybody.

It hate to tell you the truth because it debunks the picture you have of life, men and women, but MOST women would not find this mans face (or body) particularly attractive. Most of my friends have told me that. He is very skinny, has almost no hair and even misses a front tooth. All of his pictures that he posted on dating sites have ratings between 3.5 and 5.5 on a scale from 1 to 10.

And I would never say 'it' goes some certain way for everybody, that's your black and white interpretation of my messages. Plenty of people have told you that already, and you know it very well.

I would have to see a picture of the 2 of you to see what your talking about. Perhaps your more unattractive than you think?

It's not that your trying to debunk my theories on love & dating; you are posting yours as if they matter. Why post at all without a purpose? You obviously have a purpose with your posts and that is to promote that things work in the real world "according to you" because that's how you think and act.

I can go get a bunch of posts you've made in various threads where you do post messages that have the tone that I just described.

And besides from you, hale bopp, geeky, waffle marine , and maybe 1 other person that doesn't agree with me, the majority of people here agree with me.. Except the radical feminists.

Perhaps you're a bit too wrapped up with getting people to agree with you. Just perhaps.

Your last post, and several others. I mean, you're keeping score with who agrees with you. That's a bit sad, surely.

I am wondering if you are aware of paradigm paralysis.

I like this new picture tactic. Compliments are sooooo 2012.

It clicked one day. I have empathy now. It has downsides i didn't expect. It's going somewhat poorly, since people tend to suck at new things. That's how you know it's true.

Actually, if you were really paying attention to the last few posts, you would see that cafeluit was saying that more often than not people try to tell me that I'm basically a dumbass when it comes to love & dating.

So, no your perception of me being an ego maniac or whatever it is makes no sense.

What perception of you being an egomaniac? Do you think you're a dumbass when it comes to love and dating?

I am simply asking if you are aware of paradigm paralysis. I am making no comment on your perception of yourself.
