Women say “personality matters more than looks” so they dont appear shallow. True or false?

[Anonymous]

I think they do it to make others feel better and not come off as shallow

True

False

[ThinkFitness23]

This is both true and false.


Scenario:


Hot guy, boring or controlling or rude or over confident or arrogant or ALL THE ABOVE! Not wanted…. BUT


The less fortunate looking don’t get a look- in… UNTIL


These women in their late 20’s early 30’s. Some of these woman a notable percentage will get with a guy they feel is ATTAINABLE.


I’ve seen some women who themselves were extremely attractive get with guys who are definitely not what they once view as hot.


Sometimes it’s the case that the girl in question has previously had several failed relationships a few one night stands and then before you know it they have had sex with too many local boys to attract the attention of the best looking men available to them.


I’ve seen this so many times.

Not all women but fairs

I'm sure some women say that to not appear shallow. Wouldn't say all though.

I think so. He can be cute but still have the best personality which makes him more attractive. A man that loves kids makes him irresistible.

Sometimes but that statement isn't saying that looks don't matter, it's just saying that personality matters more than looks.

Lifted directly from another reply:

Women tell me I'm handsome infrequently. I'm only called ugly when I piss them off. Little do they know, idc how I look but that proves how much they value appearances. I don't usually turn heads since I dress basic and I'm pretty unkempt. But compared to when I was a kid, I'm being treated drastically different.

One day, I decided to wear skinny jeans and a tank top. I did track so my thighs are quite developed. I constantly caught women quickly gawking at my jeans and looking away. Some chick at my corner store looked at me completely different than normal. Even dudes treated me with respect. It's happened a few times.

Also, keep in mind how much women value their own appearance. It makes sense that they're interested in good looking people.

If you want a more direct example, look up the handsome convict. Or the dude who accidentally ran over a mother and child. A bunch of women started a petition to free him. I even read a comment saying "He's too cute to be locked up," or something.

False. Personality does matter more than looks.

[Sparkie460]

Some men feel the same way. If a gorgeous woman had zero personality and an average looking woman had a great personality I'd go with the average woman.

[BarryLiverstone]

I say the same. Personality matters more than looks.

[Anonymous]

Of course.

Never listen to what women say to questions like this. Instead, just observe their behavior.

[fonduegirl]

We say that about handsome abusive men

[Anonymous]

Only up to a point.

[Anonymous]

We say it because it’s true.

Spot on.
