Search Results: date preference

When choosing a date do you have any preference for their nationality? It's not about being a racist, It's just about preference.
(If you don't consider at all, you don't have to answer this poll)
I admit that I have a preference for Europian boys. (Just because the Europian boys I've dated were all nice)
Nd I'm a Korean myself but I tend to avoid dating Korean boys.
It stems from my own experience. I was stalked by Korean SCUMS I don't even know.
: taking pics with secret cameras, following, making ( insulting or romantic or stupid, but mainly Insulting) fake rumours, fabricating vids or pics,, etc.
I know there are many nice Koreans as well, but emotionally I just can't help but avoid having a Korean boy as a date.

Women don’t view unattractive men as “dating material,” no matter how exceptional their other qualities are, a new study finds.

Researchers at Eastern Connecticut State University looked at the mate preferences of 80 young women, aged 15 to 29, while also having 61 of their mothers weigh in.

The participants were presented with photographs of men varying in both attractiveness and described as one of three dispositions:“friendly,” “pleasing,” or “respectful.”

Additional trait profiles were explained for each of the three dispositions. Men labeled “respectful” included the traits ‘respectful, trustworthy, and honest;’ the ‘friendly’ men were labeled ‘friendly, dependable, and mature;’ and the ‘pleasing” profile meant that the man was ‘of a pleasing disposition, ambitious, and intelligent.’

The women were then asked to assess how attractive they found each man photographed, along with whether they found the man suitable to date, either themselves or for their daughters.

Simply put, men viewed as unattractive were not viewed as potential suitors, no matter the level of other redeeming qualities that accompanied their photos. Those with favorable personality traits that were ranked highly were at least moderately attractive.

“We conclude that a minimum level of physical attractiveness is a necessity for both women and their mothers,” says lead researcher Madeleine Fugère in a journal news release.

Mothers, however, didn’t shut the door on their offspring dating a relatively unattractive guy if he outperformed in other departments. But the younger participants wouldn’t budge.

“This may signal that unattractiveness is less acceptable to women than to their mothers,” says Fugère. “It might also mean that women and their mothers may have different notions of what constitutes a minimally acceptable level of physical attractiveness, with mothers employing a less stringent standard than their daughters.”

I’ve only been in one short term relationship and am ALWAYS SINGLE. I’ve had a few people ask my relationship status and they either assume I’m taken or wonder why I still am. They believe it’s because I’m picky. I don’t really have a social life and very reserved. I have a very hard time trusting people and I know I’m going to be stuck single due to my trust issues and lack of friendships (also trust issues). I’ve never encountered a guy of my preference and the guys I would date typically don’t show interest in me either. So I don't know if I’m aiming out of my league or just have a boring personality 🙄

I’m 24 and never really had a boyfriend. I’m very introverted and don’t go out often. The only attention I’ve really received from guys were those that were not my type or just weird. I’ve never had a cute guy of my preference show interest in me. People tell me that a certain guy of my preference may find me attractive or check me out but that’s the farthest it goes and I’m very shy. Is it wrong of me to only want to date guys I’m physically attracted to? I feel like I should stop acting this way or reevaluate my standards because I’m still single and my pickiness hasn’t gotten me anywhere 😳
