Why do a lot of women like to downplay just how important looks are?

Short answer: Because when it comes to women - they deal with more s**t from men that are connected to their personality. So, yes looks are less important than having to deal with that.

Longer answer: This is like a supply issue. There are only n number of men in this world, plus a woman is not attractive to every man (some are gay, some are taken, some are too heart-broken, some are just not attracted to them).

With all these limitations, they need to find someone who is reliable and fun to be with. So yes, looks are important, but here are things more important -- doesn't get violent, doesn't expect her to do all the work, has a clear sense of ambition/direction in life, good sex, fun to be with. So women say, "looks aren't that important". As long as his looks are easy on her eyes, she's fine with it when all these other things are in place. For men too, all these hold. But life as a man is easier, so they tend to put more weight on the looks part and as long as she's not deceptive, or completely difficult to talk with, they like it.

The good part for men is most societies, have a lot of cultural rules in place for women already. So that standard of how a woman should be already exists - it may have gone overboard, so we need to balance it - we need to set an expectation also on how a man should be. Then we'll have a balanced society, balanced relationships.

Women like to say the "politically correct" things. Thus you'll get chics that say dumb shit like height doesn't matter while they only sleep with 6' or taller. This is why you shouldn't take any sort of dating advice from a woman. She'll tell you one thing but sleep with men that are 100% exactly the opposite. If you're an ugly mother fucker... my advice to hit the gym and be a complete asshole. You'll have chicks sucking your dick like your special or something.

My advice might piss some women off... I politely ask them to suck my balls.

There are certain physical attributes we are drawn to however personality plays a bigger role than looks. I like beards however if you’re fun and have an awesome personality it’s okay if you don’t have beard.


I rather spend my life with an awesome personality without a beard than a douchebag with a beard. If I find an awesome personality with a beard (that isn’t taken)…jackpot 🎰 Also, not every personality is everyone’s cup of tea. The personality that I dig, Susan might absolutely hate. Vise versa.

I’d rather date a physically hideous man with an incredible personality and great chemistry over a physically very sexy man with the personality of a wet blanket.


Caring about looks more than what’s underneath is just shallow.

Ite not shallow to care about looks. Its human nature

[petitedollbabee]

It’s shallow to care about looks more than personality. You’d rather only care about image over a deep, human connection. Sounds boring as hell.

[Asker]

Personality matters AFTER you've passed the looks attraction first. For most people they have to be attracted to the appearance before anything else can come into play

[petitedollbabee]

If you go back and read my comment, you’ll see that I said “Caring about looks more than what’s underneath is just shallow”. I didn’t say looks don’t matter at all. I said if you care more about looks than you do about personality, then you’re shallow.

[Asker]

a lot of people do and there's nothing wrong with it

[petitedollbabee]

Yeah, good for those people. Simply giving my opinion since you publicly asked a question. I think it’s extremely shallow, and the way someone looks isn’t the end of the world to me.

[Asker]

Okay. Cool?

[Anonymous]

Because looks are not that important at all. That is just one of those things that guys won't accept. The truth hurts sometimes.

[Asker]

Why do women lie about this? Its always politically correct answers from women

[HappyWoman34]

They’re only super important to young people.

[Asker]

"Incels" that word is so overused its not even an insult

[CoolCatMar1]
