No looks don't matter. But it does become a issue once I start to get to know different girls. They will all of the sudden start feeling insecure around me. Asking questions like "do I look good" "I wish I had this and that" it's like I can't spend all my time validating my friends. Great question 👍😇
LOL that's hilarious about your boyfriend doing that! When I was single, my friend's husband would always refer to me as "the pretty one who can't get laid", mostly just to mess with me but still.
At the risk of sounding like a total asshole, I'd like to be friends with someone without feeling like I wanna punch their ugly face or the need to vomit.
I'm not trying to date my friends, so no. If someone is your friend, why would their looks matter?
In the past, I have had guys stop being my "friend" as soon as they saw my picture or how I looked in real life, yet they claimed looks didn't matter to a friend... yeah. Yet another reason I don't show my picture online; that is nonsense. If you want to be my friend, you're supposed to appreciate my personality, NOT how I look!
As long as he/she does not have body odor or bad hygiene, has a good, friendly personality and attitude and we get along, looks don't phase me.
Hmm, difficult. I find I'm drawn more to sociable friends who love to have fun. Coincidentally you might say most are pretty good-looking, though perhaps not all. I love sociable people though, and I suspect more of them tend to be good-looking than not, perhaps in part because they received lots of positive social attention growing up to boost their confidence and build up their positive energy in social environments.
A small sample of my friends, and I think they are all good-looking:
But I don't think I judge based on looks so much. I just like fun people who are good at socializing. But maybe more of them tend to be good-looking than not.
Well, this is a tricky question because I think people who are sociable with a confident type of body language actually enhance their looks in the process. My idea of "good-looking" is somewhat aligned with sociability.
For example, let's say someone who is not canonically attractive whatsoever can still enter a room and charm everyone in the room. I would say that person is "good-looking". I enjoy looking at them, even if their bodies are far from idealized standards in fashion.
No my friends looks do not matter. I’m not their friend because of what they look like, I am however their friend because of what we have in common, how long we have known each other, or because of being supportive of one another. To be my friend your looks do not matter in the slightest.
I can sometimes get affected by looks but I try not to let it affect me and if I see bias in my mind or heart I will try to push it out of my heart and mind because I think its wrong. For example - sometimes I will mentally admire my closest friend because she is extremely fit and well dressed but I try not to assess her appearance because I think its disrespectful to look at a friend as anything other than a brother or sister. I had another friend who weighed 300 pounds and I don't judge fat people - I respect all sizes and body shapes - but I judged her for being a glutton and if she was skinny I wouldn't consider her bad for eating a gluttonous lifestyle. She would spend her parents money and force her boyfriend to buy her food - instead of spending her own money on food and she was fat - not from metabolic issues - but because she cared only about physical pleasure and did not care about living a long and healthy life. She was also too lazy to exercise.
No, UNLESS they decide they're going to make political/humanitarian statements with their bodies. If I have a fat friend, whatever. If that fat friend tries to tell me he's healthy and drag me into some kind of body positivity lecture then I'm not entertaining that. Find someone else to play politics with.
I don't consider that for a friendship but if the guy is ugly or awkward he can forget going out to play the game with me. I have an older friend who is very ugly and thirsts for sex and always asks me to come with me out hunting. I always have to remind that this is a no. He is ugly and every pussy will dry out like the Sahara desert upon seeing that guy.
No! Usually I become friends with people based on their personality, character, ideas, sense of humor and ways of perceiving life. To me is more valuable that my friends are comfortable being who they are.
When I heard my parents say that, it had nothing to do with my friends looks, it was about their activies. The actions of the folks you hang out with, friends or not, do influence you.
My best friends are the people who I unconsciously level with. I think we're equally pretty/ugly looks or personality wise. So we would never experience an inferiority complex of any sort.
Other than affecting a potential nickname there going to get called I never used looks as an indicator of whether someone is going to be a good friend or not.
I don't pick my friends that way, because I'm very focused on their personality and character. If they look great it is a bonus, but not something that I put much mental energy towards
My friends are ugly as fuck I didn't uses to care, but now I don't want to be seen with such people because I'm what we call in Poland a "Poźonny Ćłowiek"
@WhiZzz Actually I don't wanna see them cuz they're a bunch of selfish dicks. But even when I was friends with them i thought, "Good God. Please don't let my teachers see me with them." I even has a second cousin I didn't want to be seen with.
I like normal, good looking, ellegant people. I. am. too smart, good looking and ellegant for then. They scared off girls with their behavior and uglyness
No, good people are good people. Trustworthiness and integrity hold more value to me than attractiveness. Mostly because both traits represent choices they make rather than what was arbitrarily given to them.
I wouldn't care about how you look if all you want to be is friends , hell I have some really good friends I've never met and have no idea how they look.
I prefer friends that are uglier than me. It gives me a better chance! I mean who hasn’t looked at a profile pic ever now and then and said to themselves,” wow, who’s their hot friend?” LOL. Of course I’m kidding!
