Why do people lie about physical appearance and it's affect on relationships and society?

[Anonymous]

Why are people lying about physicality's importance on dating, romance, and life in general. There are multiple studies that prove that physical appearance reigns as the determining factor in finding a mate and being in a happy relationship. There's a study where women ages 18-29 we're shown pictures of ugly men and attractive men. The ugly men had positive qualities and professional prestige and the attractive men were pretty average in the other departments. All women in that study wouldn't give the ugly guy a chance. Everyone has rejected someone because of their outward appearance. So why pretend? To the people who say physical appearance doesn't matter then have you dated a fat and ugly person? Why aren't you then. Do you expect me to believe that no decent ugly person ever asked you out on a date?

Physical appearance is the biggest determinant factor, after Aptitude, in relational, career, economic, friendship, and perception than any one factor. This is well known even back to Freud but stressed from an unconscious viewpoint.

I have said "no thanks" to a few attractive and sexy girls before...

and that was in part because, physical appearance is not my priority nor the only one factor in which I will base my decisions

Yeah, keep looking for any excuse you can find for your failures with women.

I don't understand the vitriol. Think about all the ugly but good people that you have rejected based on their looks and if you still think it's just an excuse then fine.

Oh the irony, keep finding your failures with men. The dude didn't even mention anything about him yet there's always that Karen that comes into these kind of posts and is so toxic toward guys thinking its all about him. Maybe get better reading comprehension sometimes.

I didn't think people lied about it. I feel everyone knows looks matter and the more attractive someone is the more options they have.

I'm extremely ugly and have been my whole life. People tell me if I was confident it would fix my problems. That entails the lie. People say looks don't matter all the time.
