Call me a cynic but I'm as guilty of it myself - I need a certain amount of attraction to a person to be interested in them for anything other than polite chat to while away the time.
But then if you show interest in a person you don't fancy they can think you do fancy them so it's not fair on them.
I've noticed men are far less likely to want to just chat - it all has to be premised on 'am I going to get a) sex or b) a girlfriend out of the effort I put in here?'
I'm not like that - if a person is saying interesting stuff I'll chat to them whatever they look like.
Physical stuff requires fanciability as well though.
Yes but you're looking at it the wrong way, attraction isn't always visual, it can be based on body language, approach, context, humour and other factors as well. If that guy in the video can get a hot girl, I am sure 99% of the dudes on this forum can and plus what's wrong with them being positive instead of negative? they are more likely to have success with a positive attitude. Why do you assume that every guy has an ulterior motive?
I don't think I'm being negative. I think a person has more likelihood of success if they see themselves realistically. It's been shown that men are exceedingly visual when it comes to attraction. Women are too but do seem to take personality more into account than men so that is something in men's favour. Men can also actively
not want an intelligent women as well.
And on a dating site it's pretty clear what most mens' motive is; I was talking in that context.
