Ugly guys creepy=hot guys charming/romantic. Agree or Disagree?

Question

agree or disagree?

The thoughtful romantic gestures of an unattractive guy makes a girl feel uncomfortable because she cannot see herself being engaged romantically with the guy.

But if a hot guy does the exact same thing, it would look romantic, charming or cute/funny. This is OK because she would see her self being romantically involved with the guy.

Do you think this is true?

It is completely true. Although I have not had this experience personally, I believe it to be extremely true. Sure, some guys are creepy. But appearence should have nothing to do with it. And in reality, it does. Many girls will say it doesn't because they don't want to sound like horrible people but let's face it. (sorry guys, rom-com references here) Leonardo DiCaprio in Titanic- when he watches Rose come down the stairs before the dance/dinner (sorry, forgot what it was). It's cute the way he looks at her because "they are in love" and he's hot. But imagine, in his place Al Pacino (older). That cuteness is now creepy. In Pretty Woman- when Edward Lewis (sure Richard Gere's not the cutest guy alive, but he's not that bad) climbs up Vivian's fire escape with roses. Again, romantic because he's decent looking. But now imagine Arnold Schwarzenegger doing that exact same thing. Kinda creepy. Westley in The Princess Bride (amazing movie and insanely hot actor). When Buttercup is about to kill herself after the wedding and she holds up the dagger to her chest and Westley says something about how "there is a shortage of perfect breasts in the world and it would be a pity to damage hers." Creepy line but cute and funny because (once again) insanely hot actor. Could Justin Beiber or Mike Myers pull that one off? No. Why? Because they are not hot enough.

My point is that all those romatic things are done by hot actors. Therefore it's sweet and cheesy and amazing and cute. Any ugly (sorry) guy who attempts those things is creepy BECAUSE they are not hot enough to "pull it off".

If ANY guy takes a girl's favorite part of a romantic movie (or the thing a girl would consider the most romantic thing a guy could do) and tries to do that, it's going to end badly. Every girl has her expectation on these romantic things and if the real guy isn't as attractive as the imaginary guy, the real guy is a creep.

When the guy is hot an he keeps going after the chick he will become creepy at some point.

But if the guy is unattractive he is automatically creepy after trying once or twice.

Not to mention, good looking men know for a fact they can find someone else so they wouldn't go after girls for a long time, if she's not interested then she's not interested.. But ugly looking men will try ll the way because they know for a fact they will be rejected by others too so they might as well go for the one they actually want.

Id rather be with a guy who is good looking and treat me good than be with an ugly man who treats me like a queen...

They treat you like a queen because they know they won't do better and they know that their only chance is to make you love them so you see beyond their looks.

But what annoys me is that even if the guy is not good looking he wouldn't even try to be good looking, perhaps going to the gym, new hair cut, losing weight.. etc.. I am not going to date an obese guy or a guy with an ugly face, not cause am shallow because I want to wake up feeling comfortable next to my man and not be scared and would want to go back to sleep..

Ive got an ugly fat creepy stalker who doesn't wanna lose hope.. Looks isn't everything but he can at least TRY!

Beauty comes from within but a little work on the surface doesn't hurt anyone hey!

There are guys that look fine but are unappealing to me.

Looks don't make up for a foul attitude, a lowly personality etc.

Comes back to the "whole package concept" because it is WAY MORE than one thing.

Attractive people do have an ADVANTAGE FOR SURE...but some attractive people have serious draw backs.

Some people are going to try to be politically correct on this and try not to sound shallow.

This is a harsh and shallow world. Good looking people are more likely to be confident because they get better reception from others---they are used to be treated well. So they are naturally more comfortable in social situations.

This does come down to mating in the end...people don't want to mate with the unattractive.

There are some good looking guys that suck in bed...good looking guys that are not great people...

Too bad this is not a world in which everybody finds love and acceptance for who they are...just the way they are...RIGHT...most of us do want to live in that world...but it doesn't really exist...just fact of life.

Of course this is true.

Half the stuff you see guys do in romantic movies to get a girls attention would get him slapped/mazed/arrested/restraining ordered in real life, especially if the guy was not attractive.

If a hot guy sings in front of a girls window in de middle of the night, it's romantic. If an ugly guy does it, it's creepy.

Hard to get - very dangerous. Girls keep saying you should chase her. But they don't consider the possibility that an -unattractive- guy might not get the difference between 'hard to get' and 'rejection'. Also, some attractive guys might be scared of by 'hard to get' because they think that 'no is no', yes, I'm talking about the good guy.

Stopping a wedding. Extremely romantic if you are the cutest, sweetest man alive and she's marrying a jerk. All other cases, creepy as f***.

When an ugly guy approaches a girl (especially if he has no sense of humor or confidence), it will turn the girl off, no doubt. Girls actually feel rejected when approached by ugly guys. Why is this? It is proof in her mind that her current looks are attracting less attractive people. A girl that gets hit on a lot by unattractive guys is going to have a lot of doubts about herself. As a guy, if you're average or below average, you need to be packing some serious heat in the humor or confidence department.

OpenClose · Answer

It's a rather sad truth, and women don't really seem to question it.

They go insane if someone is repulsed by an overweight girl. But then if a less-than-attractive guy approaches them, they aren't afraid to use the same stereotype to call his behaviors creepy and predatory.

Hypocrisy, I say.

And it's a much worse scenario than weight. Some guys actually risk legal action for gestures that would have been more than welcome from a stud. Meaning they aren't judging the actions themselves, they're judging the person, and doing it based on appearances alone.

Anonymous · Answer

If I don't like you, and you hit on me, I'm not interested. If you continually make moves on me when I'm not interested, I'm going to get either annoyed or creeped out. If I don't like you, don't act like you're my boyfriend because I will not like it nor am I obligated to like it.

Prime example: If your fantasy woman got naked in front of you, you'd get horny. If this woman link got naked in front of you, perhaps you'd feel differently?

I do decide who is creepy and who isn't if the situation involves me and the actions are directed at me. Please don't insinuate that I can't interpret my feelings properly because I'm a woman, and that a guy would know better about who really creeps women out than a woman. It's on the presumptively misogynistic side and that isn't really charming or romantic.

CheeseLoveWhiz · Answer

The Hunchback of Notre Dame by Victor Hugo is a prime example of this , Quasimodo, the hunchback, is absolutely in love with Esmeralda. She thinks he's sweet but is scared and repulsed of his face. She still wants Phobeus ,the egotistical attractive guy , despite Quasimodo treating her far better.

It's true very true. I don't date myself but I've seen others go after the "hot" guy. Believe me, there are creepy cute guys too, girls just don't want to open their eyes.

nollie33 · Answer

This is absolutely true and don't listen to the girls saying otherwise. They must be out of touch with their true feelings to say otherwise.

My ex was perverted and sexually forceful...rude and an all around jerk. But I never considered him creepy because I was attracted to him...when in reality he was super creepy.

Anonymous · Answer

Disagree. Some of the creepiest guys I've known were average to good looking.

And I think that guys claiming that girls are unjustified to be put off by individual guys is a cop out to justify acting in a way that makes girls uncomfortable.

Guys who are ugly might get branded as being "annoying" more easily, if they try over and over after a girl rejects him, where as a girl might be exasperated by a persistant guy who is better looking, but more tolerant of his continuous attention.

But a creepy guy generally involves an undercurrent of anger, hidden dislike of women or forceful sexuality that women pick up on. Obviously, a really good looking person is going to get away with more bad behavior -- this is true for men or women, and also among their peers of the same sex. Good looking people DO get more breaks in life from everyone, it's proven.

However, just because a girl calls a guy creepy doesn't mean she dislikes him because he's ugly or even that he is, in fact, ugly.

Its true even tho I been a model I always dated short guys, overweight guys, not so good lookin guys but what I've noticed is tht a lot of thse guys are conceited and think they can treat a chick like a floor rag ey I neva jst go afta looks I always look 4 smething in ur mind.cse the mind intrigues me.but ths whole thing of not so cool guys being betta is utter bullshit I think hey.not2 sound shallow but a lot of the hotter guys have suprisingly been cooler, sweeter, kinder and not arrogant at all and I've actually formed sme gr8 friendships in the process 2 they also very focused and dedicated in wateva they do despite what they may lOok like so yes it varies person 2 person but I'm actually betta suited2 prince charmin who loves me exactly 4 the person I am.and yes I'm not shallow ths is from a very personal experience : D

Anonymous · Answer

Some guys really CAN be creepy. Even cute ones!

it seems like a lot of creepy guys are the ones who are secretly pissed off at the world but try to hide it or the ones who think they are entitled to sexual favors from a girl because they found her attractive. In response to your second part -- men probably haven't had the same experiences as women have with guys being forceful trying to get sexual access or the type who just like to prove to females that they are bigger and more powerful. Do you have a sister or close female cousin?

TedStar · Answer

It's true .When we are attracted to someone we tend to not notice or excuse their flaws or we give them more chances to impress. No one wants unwanted attention. I think that it is rude to use the word "creep"in these kind of situations. Girls are always telling us to grow a set and when an unattractive guy does it's seen as creepy. Why can't more girls just be flattered by the gesture and respectfully decline the boys advances

TheUglyOne · Answer

That, has been mostly been my experience. Even well intentioned compliments creep women out who think the giver is ugly. Hell, merely being ugly puts a guy 80% into being labelled a creep off the bat. And not with things like flirts and compliments, I can't even go in public with my stepdaughter without getting nasty suspicious looks.

On the other hand, my old man could do and say the lamest, stupidest stuff and women would swoon over him just for saying it.

anon1111 · Answer

This is largely true. A guy who is very good looking can get away with all kinds of behavior that would make a girl feel uncomfortable if an uglier guy acted the same way. Girls frequently use the word "creepy" as a euphemism for "ugly" when telling their friends about some dude who hit on them because they don't want to sound shallow.

Prof_Don · Answer

I asked a ? similar to this about 2 months ago...and I agree with your poll.

Girls do this so much out of reflex that they don't know they're doing it, but nonetheless, if a dude is (to her standards) unattractive, she is more likely to label any bold or "ballsy" cold-approach, as being "creepy".

Anonymous · Answer

Nail, meet hammer.

If a woman's not attracted to the guy, anything he does is undesirable. If she's attracted to him, then those very same actions, performed in exactly the same way and manner, will be considered desirable.

It's not just women, though. We guys do exactly the same damn thing.

MyUsernameRules · Answer

That's pretty true for most women till they turn like 30. It's tough if you're ugly because if you approach women with women, they get creeped out and complain to their friends about why a hot guy didn't approach instead. If you don't because you're aware of these things then you lack confidence and self-esteem.

wolflover · Answer

Not at all! Any guy that has ever creeped me out, has been good looking.

I notice when less attractive guys try to ask a girl out, they tend to be more nervous and mess up what they're trying to say. But that's usually endearing, not creepy :)

Cuddle_Muffin · Answer

Yes I completely agree. Here is a funny video...

may04 · Answer

The only time it becomes 'creepy' from anyone is if I tell someone I have no interest but he keeps trying anyway...makes me feel like he's a bit obsessive. Therefor I picked B, because even a 'hot' guy can turn creepy with too much persistance.

VALEN_tine_ANGEL · Answer

nah, appearance is important but when you have touched someone's emotions, they will love you the way you are.

Anonymous · Answer

Sadly, this is true from what I have seen. But it also works the other way around. If two girls are standing by each other and one is fat and the other is skinny, the guy almost always goes for the skinny girl.

AllDay · Answer

I think you should replace creepy with a girl she's not attracted to or one she doesn't likes. And change a hot guy with attractive or one she likes. Then you have a correct statement
