Why do some girls only like good looking guys?

[Lollipop94]

I mean I thought looks didn't matter. To me I prefer average guys over good-looking hot babes any day. I only date average guys.

You've probably been watching too many romance movies or reading too many whimsical posts on the internet if you think that looks don't matter. There has been something of a shame constructed around people's looks in our society where admiring them is too easily confused with being shallow. People, in all their wisdom, do the typical thing where they swing from one side of the spectrum all the way to the other. People are very polarized and it's harder to teach them NOT to be than it is to actually teach them healthy thoughts and behavior.

Looks are the very first thing you notice about a person. It's how your display yourself to others, how they perceive you, it's an indicator of many things (health, self-discipline, esteem, confidence, class, etc.)... so no matter how much YOU think you are above seeing that- if you're human (or so much as an animal), it's part of your criteria and what you see in others. You can deny natural behavior, but you can't shed these natural behaviors.

Now for the question of "why do some girls only like good-looking guys", it could be any number of reasons or explanations. Perhaps they feel they're also attractive, and could reasonably pair up with that person. Perhaps they're doing the natural thing as I mentioned before and are going after the best prospect they can get. Perhaps they don't have the shame that others do about pursuing attractive people. Who knows every single reason out there for every single person?

But just the way you set this question up, makes me think you either haven't thought about this stuff in this light before. Or you're one of those that have hopped on the bandwagon that shames people for chasing beauty and they don't even know why they shame it.

[BertMacklinFBI]

same reason you prefer your "I only date average guys" thingy.

[Lollipop94]

Uhh I'm not being shallow.

[BertMacklinFBI]

oh no I wasn't saying that. im just saying that's the same reason for the people who only date what they think are good looking.

[BuchitaBuchys]

Best answer :)

[CaliforniaIvy]

LOL how are you going to ask a shallow question then say you're not being shallow. GTFO! XD this site has the funniest posts sometones.

[bijinbijinbijin]

Everyone does not have the same opinion on what is good looking. One person may think Brad Pit is good looking but i dont think he is good looking at all.

If you find someone to be atractive then that means you think they are good looking. Just because you do not think the guy looks like what you think society thinks is good looking does not mean that you do not think the guy is good looking. Beauty/good looks is realative so there really is no universal criteria for what beauty/good looks is.

[TheEmma]

Because what's the point of kissing/sleeping with someone you're not physically attracted to? That "looks don't matter" thing is bullshit. You can't be with someone you don't phisically like. Of course everyone has different tastes so people who might be good looking for me, might look ugly as fuck for others but it is important that you like the person you're dating.

[Lollipop94]

Yeah that's true but good-looking people aren't the best choices in relationships and marriage.

[TheEmma]

What does that mean?

[Lollipop94]

Because men/women will try to steal them and they cheated and are jerks.

[TheEmma]

Ooook but being good looking doesn't automatically make you a cheater or a jerk? there's a difference between dating someone JUST for the looks withour caring if they're shit, and dating someone who's good looking and good person.

[Lollipop94]

Yeah I guess

[TheEmma]

Question: do you feel physical attraction for the average guys you date or do you just do it because they're nice?

[Lollipop94]

Because they're nice

[TheEmma]

Can I message you? im really curious.

[Lollipop94]

I don't care

[TheEmma]

nvm then

[BuchitaBuchys]

This is largely something that is based on individual to individual. Literally, everything in this question is subjective.
Ask yourself why you prefer average to hot guys?
You're "average" guy could be someone's "hot" guy. Beauty really is in the eye of the beholder.

[GoldCobra]

Debatable

[BuchitaBuchys]

@GoldCobra depends on the person. Some chicks love the "washboard abs" but I kinda find that a turn off. I don't know. I prefer really skinny, scrawny guys. And my most recent ex had a gut. He was overweight, but I still found him irresistible. It mostly depends on the person.
I don't really find blonde hair attractive either. I don't know. I never have. Not saying all people with blonde hair are ugly, but I never saw it as the "hottest" like most people do. I actually think redheads are sexiest. Or at least red hair is the best in my opinion. It'd be red, jet black, brown, grey hair, and then last blonde hair for me. It depends on the person.

[GoldCobra]

You don't like washboard abs but u prefer skinny scrawny guys. Don't they generally have washboard abs? Anyways, here's my take on attractiveness. I'll try to keep it short!

It can be BOTH subjective AND objective. Like you said, you have your preferences and other people have their own preferences. We all have preferences right? So one guy may find one girl to be hot, but another guy may find her to be ugly. Some guys like thick girls, others like thin girls. Some girls like beards, others like no beards. This is the subjective side.

However, you cannot deny that the vast majority of people find certain models or celebrities to be hot. Even in your own life, i'm sure that you have come across guys that you and your friends have all agreed to be hot. There are guys out there that most girls would consider to be hot. Likewise, there are girls out there that make a lot of guys turn their heads. This is the objective side.

[BuchitaBuchys]

@GoldCobra, lol no. Not the ones I've seen. Some have abs, some don't.

Yea, that is true I guess. Most people do find some celebrities attractive, and only a few people won't. Like Scarlett Johansenn or however the fuck her name is spelled. One person everyone thinks is hot but I find ugly is Halle Berry. She looks perhaps not ugly ugly, but below average to me. A little ugly lol

It still depends. Someone fucked Honey Boo Boo's mom. That means either a) looks don't matter, and not even personality. Or b) someone found someone like her attractive. So there is hope for us all.

[Lollipop94]

Well average guys turn me on more. Six pack absolutely and muscles turn me off. I like the chubby and scrawny thin guys. To me they are hot. Good-looking men turn me off.

[BuchitaBuchys]

Then that means the "average" guys are what you find attractive. And that means that they are what you consider "hot".
Being "hot" or "average" or "ugly" is not like set in stone. Some people say I'm pretty, others say I'm average looking, others have called me ugly as fuck. Beauty really is subjective. So technically I'm all of them yet none of them. It depends on who's looking at me.
Basically, if you find "average" guys most attractive, they are your "hot" guys. So you're technically going for guys only YOU find hot. Hence, you're doing exactly the same thing as those girls you are asking about.

[Lollipop94]

Thanks

[kellyart]

Avg guys are sweeter and there the ones you introduce to your parents. Some girls only like guys for status. Better looking man , higher status they appear to have

[Lollipop94]

Well girls like that need to give average men a chance.

[Mr_Solo_Dolo]

Maybe because you might feel they're out of your league? If I were to date a really hot chick, I would think she was out of my league and leave me feeling insecure because she could have anyone she wanted, therefore she might cheat. As if you're dating an average guy you wouldn't be too worried about him finding someone much more attractive or being able to get anyone they wanted. That's how I look at it.

[PalmWave]

Ask yourself, why do you date avarage guys instead of "hot babes"?

Why not go for the guys that have desirable looks?

[Lollipop94]

Hunky men turn me off.

[PalmWave]

How do?

[BeInnovative]

Hahahahahahah!
If u saw my ex and ex-ex bf u d say 'oh girl did you really date then?'
And plus i love my ex -longest relationship like a real one- to death...

[-Zoe-]

Only like good-looking? I think its because they are not looking for long term relationship that encompasses beyond looks...

[camp8989]

I mean I only date who I am attracted to, usually I'd probably have to think they were a pretty hot babe. I'm not into average. the image that comes into my head is something like a chubby bro... no.

[BelleGirl21]

Why do you care? It's less competition going for your average guys.

[Lollipop94]

Exactly. That's why I don't go for good-looking men.

[mikereno]

What do you mean exactly? It's a bit of a confusing statement ☺

[Lollipop94]

Well most good-looking men are jerks and play with girls and I don't want to get hurt.

[mikereno]

So you date less attractive guys because you think they will be less likely to hurt you? It doesn't work like that all the time. Anyone can be a jerk x

[Lollipop94]

Well yeah plus girls won't chase him.

[rugrat]

The same reason some guys only like good looking girls, they're shallow and need to stroke their egos. I don't understand it but what are ya gonna do?

[AllThatSweetJazz]

Seems that you like good-looking guys too, you just don't date them because you think they'll hurt you somehow. Apparently some people are willing to risk being happy.

[FlyingTurtle]

Because to some people physical appearance is very important.

[Diego9O]

I don´t understand your question. If you really like someone you will find that person attractive or good-looking.

[dakraziest]

lol if you find the answer do let me know
i really would like to be liked by a girl

[TeraKira]

Because they are stupid superficial bitches! lol.

*some men might be like this also.

[Anonymous]

People date whatever they find works for them... IF horses work for you, then go for horses. If you want cows, then go for cows

If some want hunky men, they go for hunky men :s

Anything else?

[Opinion Owner]

Did I forget to mention, how your insulting the guys you go for by calling them average. I mean they should be everything you want in your eyes.

[lordAlex818]

In what world do looks not matter? It is part of human nature to be attracted to certain people more than other because of their physical appearance.

[writerguy220]

Aren't labels like "good looking" and "average" subjective. I mean your average could be some else's hot...

[Mr_Solo_Dolo]

Then what would her 'good-looking hot babes' be to someone else?

[GoldCobra]

*Facepalm*
It's because they are good looking perhaps? I don't know what to tell ya

[been_waiting]

I suspect this is a guy lmfao

[Anonymous]

"I only date average guys" > LOGIC FUCKING BROKE

[Lollipop94]

What's that supposed to mean?

[Opinion Owner]

I wish I was still young. You sound like a moron.

"I only date hot guys" > EW, SHALLOW
"I only date average guys" > EW, SHALLOW

I know, you don't see it, and that's okay because you are on your own bullshit crusade. Those of us who are older than you are laughing at you.

[Lollipop94]

Yeah... so?

[Opinion Owner]

Do not breed.

[Nuns_in_Heat]

Is this a serious question?

[queen-b]

[NZDSTR]

[Anonymous]
