Dating - Men Choose Pretty Women - Women Are Choosier
 
Science is confirming what most women know: When given the choice for a mate, men go for good looks.

piemaker720 09-04-2007 08:19 AM

Then they must be idiots. A homely looking person can be have a better personally. I would choose that over looks any day.

Texasbelle 09-04-2007 09:05 AM

Every body likes a pretty package, but a pretty package with brains and heart is the best. A smart man looks for what's inside the package not the wrappings.

I only look what is in her heart :rolleyes: or maybe what is over her heart too :D

Not necessarily. Those wrappings can reveal a great deal about the person too if your perception and judge of character is any good. With your rationale, you obviously agree that physical appearance is no indication of personality. If so, the reverse should be equally true.

For example, I would definitely wanna see a picture of a girl I meet online or through a friend before asking her out. Why? Because if she is wearing all black, with numerous piercings throughout her face, and ghost-white skin (an extreme Goth), SORRY! You are definitely NOT my type. Or, if the girl dresses excessively trampy and looks like a California prostitute, you are not my type.

I'm not picky as far as physical appearance, but I won't force myself to date someone I am simply not attracted to, be it over their appearance or personality. There are criteria within both that would cause me to rule out a potential date.

Personality is important too (a fact many people underestimate), but it is no reason to entirely ignore physical appearance, presentability, and general visual impressions.

Besides all of that, I have heard of women who choose their men based on their financial class, their lifestyle, and even their wardrobe. Therefore, women are just as guilty as men at ignoring personality.

>A smart man looks for what's inside the package not the wrappings.

A smart man looks for both. Good looks are just as important as anything else.

Luckily, my wife doesn't follow this plan.

I just hope that one day women can look past this perfectly sculpted face and this body of a greek god and see the inner LSU, i'am very compassionate and have many deep feelings, i am not just some sex object for women to gawk over!;)

Texasbelle 09-04-2007 12:59 PM

So everybody, for those who are in a relationship ...what did attract you to your spouse first?

Olive skin and those big brown eyes :eyeball::eyeball: oh and that curve yes the female curve.

Pocahontas 09-04-2007 03:07 PM

Blue eyes, nice lips, over the top personality (not all could handle) and intelligence!:D

joepole 09-04-2007 03:18 PM

Her ability to tolerate me.

Texasbelle 09-04-2007 03:52 PM

For me, it was Mr. Belle's sweet personality, he's tall, and very handsome! He was also willing to take on a single mom with children and love them as his own. It takes a very special man to do that.

joepole 09-04-2007 03:57 PM

No way. Single moms are the best because you know they put out.

The hilarious thing is I have shaved my head a couple of times in my life and when I did I looked EXACTLY like Private Pyle.

The very first thing.. given it's someone you have not met before.. not someone from school, or someone from work, that you get to know first.. it's usually the looks.. after that, I'd say it has to be personality, compatibility etc.. for the relationship to last. I'm sure I had my eyes on my better half, before she had her eyes on me.. I played the game, and tried to be entertaining as possible :) .. Then after awhile... it's like the song says "Gettin' up the nerve.... is a man's job" :cool:

LOL I know I got the better deal LMAO :yes:

:gosaints:

Al Swearengen 09-04-2007 06:41 PM

Seems like more often than not, the ones we want, dont want us, and the ones that want us, we dont want. Everyone usually wants what they cant have when it comes to love.

You love her
But she loves him
And he loves somebody else
Ya just can't win
And so it goes
Till the day you die
This thing they call love
It's gonna make you cry
I've had the blues
The reds and the pinks
One thing's for sure

Love stinks
Love stinks yeah yeah

:cool:

Tbelle, I've been married nearly 25 years, that's a quarter century to one woman and one woman only. Bingo, you hit the bulleye. "Looks" had me like a spell. I was 18, she was 15... She looked like Farrah Faucet Majors. I've been a slave to love ever since.....

Yeah she'd gained a few pounds since then (cough cough) but I can still see the Farrah Faucet every time I see her. However now that I've had a few decades to get to know her, things change. LOL, a couple of kids will do that to ya..... I have found that personality counts for more and more and looks count less and less, especially while I hone my parental skills. In both regards, I do have my standards and limits. But I'm open minded. What was your question? :D

Well Rhertz the good news is most all men go thin on top eventually. Your peers will eventually catch up. Some (Neo , Isaac) sooner rather than later!!!:laugh::laugh::laugh:

Might want to run a sander over that floor before hand so you will get those nasty splinters out.

A bit off topic but still close enough
 
Men Are Just Happier People

What do you expect from such simple creatures? Your last name
stays put. The garage is all yours. Wedding plans take care of
themselves. Chocolate is just another snack. You can be President. You
can never be pregnant. You can wear a white T-shirt to a water park, or
you can wear NO shirt to a water park. Car mechanics tell you the truth.

The world is your urinal. You never have to drive to another gas
station restroom because this one is just too icky. You don't have to
stop and think of which way to turn a nut on a bolt. Same work, more
pay. Wrinkles add character. Graying hair adds attraction. Wedding
dress~$5000. Tux rental~$100. People never stare at your chest when
you're talking to them. The occasional well-rendered belch is
practically expected. New shoes don't cut, blister, or mangle your
feet.
One mood all the time. Phone conversations are over in 30 seconds flat.
You know stuff about tanks. A five-day vacation requires only one
suitcase. You can open all your own jars. You get extra credit for the
slightest act of thoughtfulness. If someone forgets to invite you, he or
she can still be your friend. Your underwear is $8.95 for a three-pack.
Three pairs of shoes are more than enough. You almost never have strap
problems in public. You are unable to see wrinkles in your clothes.
Everything on your face stays its original color. The same hairstyle
lasts for years, maybe decades. You only have to shave your face and
neck. You can play with toys all your life. Your belly usually hides
your big hips. One wallet and one pair of shoes one color for all
seasons. You can wear shorts no matter how your legs look. You can "do"
your nails with a pocket knife. You have freedom of choice concerning
growing a mustache.
You can do Christmas shopping for 25 relatives on
December 24 in 25 minutes.

1. To grow up.
2. To fill out.
3. To slim down.
4. To hell with it.

Yeah, but she sure can cook!
 
If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So for my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you

A pretty woman makes her husband look small
And very often causes his downfall
As soon as he married her and then she starts
To do the things that will break his heart

But if you make an ugly woman your wife
A-you'll be happy for the rest of your life
An ug-a-ly woman cooks meals on time
And she'll always give you peace of mind

If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So for my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you


Don't let your friends say you have no taste
Go ahead and marry anyway
Though her face is ugly, her eyes don't match
Take it from me, she's a better catch

If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So for my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you

[Spoken:]
Say man!
Hey baby!
I saw your wife the other day!
Yeah?
Yeah, an' she's ug-leeee!
Yeah, she's ugly, but she sure can cook, baby!
Yeah, alright!

If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So for my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you
