What does this mean?

this girl said about this guy the other day when asked about what she thought of his looks "he's alright looking but there are defenintly bettter".......


What does that say about his looks?

Uh..exactly what it says. He's alright to look at, but there are definitely more attractive people in the world.
Which is true of 99.99% of people. Nothing deeper in it than that, i'd say.

It's a very superficial comment. Usually a woman is not very concerned about how a man looks.

She is more interested in wit, charm, and social aptitude.

Gonna have to go ahead and disagree with you there. On behalf of my tribe.

yes exactly. i am very concerned with men's appearance. that's not to say i have a certain type or anything, but i have to like the way a guy looks or i am not attracted.

I'm ugly. And I never had any trouble.

It means she saw a rainbow today, but she's seen many double rainbows, a couple triple rainbows and once saw the hint of a quadruple rainbow that faded before it was fully formed.

This is simply not true. Women are concerned about the looks. Whether they want to admit it or not is another issue. But women DO care about the looks.

But they more often date "ugly" guys than guys date "ugly" girls because women are encouraged not to take physical appearance into account that much. (Which is not a bad advice). Still, they often fall for guys who are not good just because they are good looking.

Not all women, of course. But it happens.

Women care about the way a man looks, trust me.

I do take in account how a guy looks, but honestly it is not a top priority for me. I have dated guys who my friends ask "Why?" I don't typically see the appearance. I see the intellect. Even so, I do have a look I do not go for. It is a specific look, but even if that person can stimulate my mind enough, I could probably look past that.

If its a direct question about looks in particular....majority of the time a person is going to say "alright" or "ok" even if they think he/she is good looking. As far as looks go most people fall in the middle range (at least in my personal opinion).

I have to agree, i am not so concerned with how someone looks but more their personality and ability to hold an intelligent convosation. I have often found those that are extreemly attractive also think they are gods gift to women and really dont know how to treat a woman with respect.

I believe it is entirely possible that the woman in the OP was trying find a polite way to express that she did not find said male attractive.

that comment indeed stated that "that man is not ugly, but he is not attactive for me personally"

I'm living proof that this is not true

^ the stereotype that women are less looks-oriented than men is untrue. In my opinion, men are just more likely to be honest about it whereas women are more inclined to lie or beat around the bush out of fear of sounding "shallow" or hurting someone's feelings.

Some if it cultural expectations.
