Search Results: attractive qualities

I have dated a few women who were quite beautiful. One looked like Suzanne Somers in her "Three's Company" days.

She was much easier to look at, but not a better girlfriend than some of the others. I have dated a few women who were on the lower end of the scale. One of them was a great match in many, many ways, but was probably what most guys would rate a 3/10. Despite that, I was very happy with her and very attracted to her, but. . . she never fell in love with me and I eventually broke up with her.

I have learned that I can love someone who is not particularly pretty and, if I am in love, I will lust for them just as much as I would lust for a Hollywood star. There are still some women whose physical appearance would be an instant turn off but I would not hesitate to date a woman who was "average" or even "below average" if I thought her other qualities were good.

How far down the scale of 1-10 would you accept if the person's other qualities were "just what you were looking for?"

You've met an attractive, seemingly smart, educated young adult with a respectable job, so you've decided to hit it off and exchange your social media information.

You come home, browse their photo album on Facebook and come to the realization, that their high school sweetheart, the person who they have dated for the past 8 years and hoped to marry, is a low-brow retard who works at a poultry processing factory, likes to keep their social media status on "single" at all times- regardless of their actual relationship status, and spends their free time taking pictures of themselves squatting next to other people's expensive sports cars and nailing posters of Mr. Olympia on every empty wall in the flat they share with 3 other young men.

Or imagine the alternative, in case your preferred potential partner's ex partner is a female-
A bimbo whose current occupation on social media reads "I don't have", whose photo albums are mostly filled with pictures of gel nails and a few pictures of what is probably supposed to be their face, but more closely resembles an aspiring SFX student's exam project for their movie makeup course.

What do you do?

Do you respectfully run for the hills on the assumption that you are, most likely, not going to be a very good match for someone who found these individuals a good match for them in the past.

Or

Do you refrain from judgement, because surely there must have been something redeemable about these characters that isn't immediately obvious from just looking at their social media.
Or, perhaps, there wasn't and it's precisely the reason why this person isn't in a relationship with them anymore.

In other words, does who a person has dated in the past carry any implications for you on how you perceive them now?
Do you interpret their questionable selection of past partners as an indication that their own values and qualities may also be questionable?
