Do you think people who assume beauty is everything are ignorant?

[jennifer_bloom]

I had friends accuse me of lying if I said a really good looking or smart guy was interested in me cause they thought they looked better than me and never had the attention I got but they don’t understand not all relationships are based on physical attraction, I’m average looking but super charming and unique and I’ve had guys way better looking or smarter than me show interest and people don’t get it. They think it’s fake.

Looks alone can get some mileage early on and in short hookups, but that's about it. It doesn't matter how hot a woman is, a garbage personality is going to kill any chance of a deep and meaningful relationship with pretty much any guy who wants more or other than eye candy.

i see anyone, male or female, who boil a person down to just one trait as just plain stupid. For women i see any of them that just see men as a means to get financial support as stupid, and i see men who see beauty as the only important thing, as just stupid.

I believe in the saying "beauty is in the eye or the beholder"

Everyone used to say a guy I was dating was ugly. I didn't see him the way other people saw him. He was handsome through my eyes. He was underaverage to ohers, but above average to me. I never allowed other people's opinions of him affect how I saw him.

I do believe physical attraction is part of wanting to be with someone. If someone didn't consider physical appearance, that would mean they'd date anyone and everyone, cos you can't really know a person's personality until you've known them over a period of time.

I would hate it if someone was only with me because of my personality. I want them to want me because they are physically attracted to me and like who I am as a person

everything is beautiful sometimes it may take u a while to understand why
like a old desk think about all the things its been through and look at the scratches and cuts that's what makes it unique but also look at it threw different perspectives and you'll find everything beautiful

[Telekinetic-Potato]

I qould argue your question is paradoxical.

Personally, I believe there's beauty in all things and for someone to say one thing is beautiful and another is ugly in such a way that one thing has less value than another in a meaningful way then they are ignorant for not recognizing beauty.

Beauty is like an onion, it has so many layers and can be so strong it can make you cry. It all depends on what a person's preferences are, but there are some social norms that are more common preferences, which is what you're asking about I think. Confidence is very low-key attractive in any gender. As is humor and treating others with respect. Physical beauty is prioritized by many people unfortunately. I wouldn't say they're ignorant, but perhaps simplistic. It's the materialistic view of others or yourself. It's unfortunate because that youthful beauty fades with time and other aspects of your beauty get to shine through.

you have a unique nature that is what makes handsome men like you... honestly as a man I will choose a unique person because I think I have a boyfriend that other men can't have, unique I mean (physical or character) for example some women have teeth that are slightly forward (like rabbit teeth) my boyfriend has teeth like this...

[wa1t1ngFuture]

or some handsome men think (beautiful girls usually only see money/have high taste (job title, money and others) so they choose to look for normal women because they have good looks it will be easy to get girls with normal faces

[wa1t1ngFuture]

honestly it's hard to find a unique woman...

[Whatever2929292]

Yes because there is more to a person then physical looks and how someone looks physically is not really even just genes but how much effort a person puts into herself or himself.

I would say that physical attraction IS important but NOT everything

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

I agree I'm interesting in girls with a great personality and loves to smile, I've always dated girls that are average looking, just the way I feel :-)

[TenkRealist]

Anyone who assumes a certain thing is everything is ignorant.

[bakajana]

They're just superficial. Oh and keep your uniqueness as a treasure, that's just a gift to be your own kind. Well, at least I feel that way. 🤗

[Crankor]

There are those who get into a relationship for the physical attraction then others for the emotional connection. Ideally they both have both but prioritize one over the other and usually the first don't understand the seconds concept since it's more of needing an emotional conne toon before being able to be intimate vs starting off intimate for usually superficial reasons and slowly build a conne toon afterwards if they feel like it

[zagor]

It clearly isn't, but it is something.

Though there are common characteristics, not everyone has the same idea of what/who is beautiful.

[TacosRAwesome]

Yes but same goes for people that think beauty is nothing.

[Bluemax]

Ding!

[shaysh87]

I think beauty is always going to matter. We, humans, need physical attraction in order for a relationship to work. Blame it on biology

[Berethor]

You are in your 37 and you average looking, most guys looking for beauty and youth.

[KingofCups]

Well Beauty is not superficial. It was one of the highest virtues for the Greek Philosophers Plato and Aristotle. The ability to see beauty in things is also an important skill to develop.

[Mikeysoda]

Yea beauty definitely isn't everything

[WhitneySnow]

I get what you’re saying

[peedy]

Shallow would be a better term

[Bridgettebaeb01]

No it just means they value their looks no shame in that

[Straight2thepoint]

U need new friends. That's what u need.
