im not picky, honestly as long as you aren't an eye sore as bad as that sounds, have a personality, and are intelligent to some degree (i prefer you to be smarter than me but that isn't hard to achieve) then id give that person a chance. have you tried being the one that approaches people? if you want to be in a relationship and you aren't objectively gorgeous physically then you may need to lower standards if you haven't all ready and start asking people instead of waiting to be asked just to get the ball rolling
Obviously, I would like a woman that I feel attracted to. But does that mean conventionally attractive? No, not really. I felt attracted to plenty of different women looking quite different from each other and arguably many looked quite bit 'worse' than others.
The point is, whom I get attracted to is weird. Like friends of mine find some girl really attractive, and I just don't see it. But I find some other girl to be much more attractive whom others would others consider as 'not bad looking'.
It's important that I want someone who is attractive to me, but who is attractive to me is weird
Me too
Its important to me but hell, I used to think that I was ugly back in high school, when I finished school, I went to a culinary school and I saw that things will go shitty, if I don't do something. So I started working out, I started to dress better, you know, take better care of myself. Since then I have better confidence in myself. I appreciate people that take care of themselves. Now, if you believe you're ugly but you have a good personality and I'm attracted to you, then I will try my best to change your mind.
Well, being 25 and not being in a relationship ever doesn't mean you're ugly. First off, you need to ask yourself: do you have good hygiene, do you take care of yourself, are you overweight or fat, what kind of guys do you go for, do you even try to make yourself available for a relationship, do you have personal mental health issues you need to work on, do you love or hate yourself, etc? Looks are rather important to men but it's also true that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I've known some guys who thought a girl was beautiful but I just couldn't see it. Lol
Their needs to be a physical attraction of course... however, if you go for the always super dolled up glamour looking babe it will become boring quite fast. In my opinion there are some women who need makeup and a lot of women who needs less makeup.
I will bet that the procentage increase of makeup sales in conjunction with the advent of social media is totally insane... it's like one girl looked at a picture of a friend who had put on slightly more makeup i thought "that fucking bitch.. I'm better looking than her" and then she put on a little bit more and after that the dominoes just feel. I mean ladies seriously.. there actually is a chance u might give a guy a hart attack when he wakes up and all that face paint has shifted to one side of the face... u are now looking more like that batman villen than the hit girl you hooked up with the previous night.
It's subjective to a guy. Some guys will only give importance to looks and would not mind greatly compromising on personality/nature of the woman.
Whereas for men who have high standards, they will give equal importance to both looks and personality, personality a little more but both are important to them.
Some men won't bother about looks so much and would only give importance to a woman's personality.
I'm not a guy... but having tonnes of guy friends and based on observation... it's pretty important that HE finds you attractive. That doesn't mean you have to be conventionally beautiful or even necessarily linked to the looks... for some guys attractive could mean a kick-ass personality... for others attractive includes some elements of subjective good looks...
Girl, you can't be any more ugly than I am. Fortunately, guys don't count looks at being at the top of the list because they know these Instagram models are as vain and fickle as a sour pickle. At least I hope they see it that way. Plus who is going to treat their man like a king, a beautiful girl or a plain looking girl?
Dear young woman, you are not ugly.
You are certainly not ugly!
its 50/50... looks/personality.
equally important, not one more than the other... and by looks we dont mean the most handsome or sexy girl in the room --> we mean someone that works for us... which can be attractive to us but not others...
at most its maybe 40/60... looks/ personality... so maybe a bit more for personality at times.. it really depends
So note that I was ugly as fuck for years that I isolated myself, but am good looking again. What made me "ugly as fuck" I didn't take showers, I smelled like shit, my hair had mats in it, I didn't shave, and let my body go. My point to this is most the "ugly" things in life can be changed it's all about dedication. As far as looks go for I feel both genders if it is "sex" normally "very important" but if it is a relationship "somewhat" but keep in mind that the psychology behind meeting someone and physical attraction actually ties into their personality as well. I've liked a girl I "shouldn't" have for a long time that is letting herself go and to most now not attractive, but I would still choose to be with her then some celebrity crush and still find her more attractive then all most all the "hot girls". So keep that in mind it's important to have a desire for someone in a relationship and it needs to be mutual on both sides.
There does need to be some level of physical attraction, just being 100% honest. However, having something in common with someone, being a decent person and having a good personality does amazing things. If you build up a good rapport with someone, looks become only a small part of things. You just need to find confidence in yourself and learn to appreciate yourself. Everything else will follow.
I want a face I can wake up too. She doesn’t have to be a model or a goddess.
But her personality means a lot to me. Which is why I’m big on knowing so much about a person. I don’t want to be surprised with the “real” her later.
I use the initial attraction to gouge whether or not she’s worth it. Unless she makes a move on me because that’s a great trait.
If her personality takes a turn later, all the physical attraction disappears.
Hate to put it this way, but since you're so down on yourself, there are plenty of ugly people in hapoy relationships right this second, so either they weren't all that ugly, or they found someone that didn't care. It's just a downer to hear people talk about themselves this way, and often THAT'S why they can't find anyone
Looks are not the most important but they matter. Guys are visual. Even if a guy thinks personality is the #1 thing you will not get a shot as a total stranger if you make zero effort in the looks area plus have bad face/body.
Make sure you are in good or better shape physically.
You probably have one or two that secretly like you but like you don’t want to take the risk of losing friendship.
You don’t have to be physically attractive to be an attractive person, for someone to love you! Looks fade, just look at all those celebs that spend thousands trying to keep their looks but end up butters af?
B
sometimes rarely it helps getting sexually
in the mood
in for another round
then pure aesthetics can pick up many a bad or poor weather day
You could also ask about vocals, since that can drive some of us away (many Friends episodes), esp. to think of that noise for rest of life
It is important but it is not fixed
The beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, and for that I might count you as beautiful while others don't
It is simple, I have seen many beautiful girls with guys looks like crap, While I never crossed their minds and it works in the other direction as well.
If looks weren't important I would date a man. With that being said, looks are very important. It's the most important difference between a man and a woman. Now there are idiots who will say that I am saying looks are the only thing. I never did. I am just saying that it is the most important thing, but not the only important thing.
it is somewhat important but personality traits matter much... guys don't like htose girls which have good looks but not a good atitude... they will prefer someone with normal looks but a good friendly loving personality.. and i hope that u migh be degrading yourself when it is coming to your looks...
I’ve seen guys date from ugly fat and poor to gorgeous with a perfect figure.
Honestly, men say they’re pretty visual and then date a woman that is anything but good looking.
It really really comes down to what type of person he is. It’s not just men in general.
