Calling all ladies! BigNorr is available whether you are attractive or not :D
Think my self-esteem just went through the flow then shot through the roof then kinda twiddled down to normal again. Glad I'm already married :D
Meh i d0n't kn0w i dated really h0t guys and they were a h0les. then i dated guys bel0w my standards..and they were still a h0les. just saying ^.^
what standards?
Raise the bar, Sari! Raise it HIGH!
(lol jk jdm I'm sure you're a fine young man)
The point of charity is to give money not lose it :rofl: ...
The way I look at it is that if you are having no luck with dating then sometimes its you yourself thats a part of the problem instead of it always being the other person. Real relationships that endure are based on much more then looks, it is the ability of the couple to communicate and comprimise with each other that often leads to successful relationships. Most times that a couple breaks up its bcause they are lacking in these two areas, and often use looks as a way to justify possble cheating when the real motivation stems from other issues.
Well fingers crossed Mati outbids Awesomeness lol
What in the hell are you freaks talking about?
*Looks through pockets* got 50 cents...dang not enough, oh well I'll get over it.
Over it now.
The so-called research (article) fails to consider one big factor, MONEY. Rich men, physically attractive or not, will get laid. Ladies, try this, imagine how attractive Tom Cruise would be (or insert another Hollywood hunk here) if he was just an illegal alien working as fruit picker. Men on the other hand, will find Jessica Alba uber-sexy even if her job is slaughtering cows with a mallet (come to think of it, that would make her sexier! :D). My point? The equation is far more complicated than "physical attractiveness" alone. The a-hole gene is not necessarilly expressed somatically as "good looks". Ugly men can be cheating *******s as well. And if they have the money (opportunity), they might just do it.
Oh yeah, I am in a serious monogamous relationship for 5 years now. I've never cheated.
You are right that women consider success more than I think men do. Unfortunately we're all products of our society more than we'd like to be and I think on a subliminal level women still look for a provider. Although, I would hazard that "success" isn't necessarily purely monetary and is linked to class distinctions as well. For example, a lot of women would find a journalist more attractive than a plumber, despite the fact that the plumber probably makes more money because the journalist has a higher education level.
Personally I do not date guys without any ambition. That ambition doesn't have to be to work on Wall Street - many jobs that do not pay well offer personal satisfaction and benefit the community, such as teachers. But I think a lack of any kind of drive reflects poorly on their personality. I'm not sure if most men would find a lazy Jessica Alba sexy, but I'm not a man so I couldn't say. If Will Smith (oh god that man is so beautiful) were an illegal immigrant on the run, I probably wouldn't find him attractive.
Thanks Mati2. I guess the thread title should be "Girls, RAISE your standards". If women want a nice happy relationship, they need to look beyond the labels "hot", "successful", "famous", etc. It should instead be honest, hardworking, ambitious, principled, caring, etc.
Oh yeah, about Jessica Alba, the only things that would make me not find her attractive would be if she was 1) shallow, 2) racist, 3) materialistic, 4) dumb (I might be forgetting some here, but you get the drift), other than that, she is the pefect physical specimen of the female kind.
Maybe "raise" or "lower" are not really the right terms, so much as "change." I have high standards, but they are not entirely or even mostly based on physical appearance. Success as I defined it above is important, as is the ability to unfailingly make me laugh. Though, I won't deny some aspects of appearance are important. If the guy is not clean and doesn't make the effort to present his body to the best of his abilities by dressing nicely and keeping his hair groomed (everywhere) - that reflects poorly on him because those things are entirely under his control. And yes, all girls like killer smiles and bright eyes ... and personally, I like the guy to look strong enough to pick me up with ease.
The thread is properly titled, the article only looks at people's physical appearance. If you would like to commission your own study on how men who are hard-working, resourceful, honest, thrifty, and earn a decent wage make better mates than lazy, shiftless bums feel free to make your own thread and title it however you please.
ok.
what is with: you eat with your eyes as well?
i dont think many females wanna lower their standarts just cause a study says you will have a more successfull relation.
Also you do the best you can to look good - to make sure you can pic on a good looking partner, right?
Statistics says: 90% of statistics are false and/or bias :)
I think the study is bunk, stereotyping everyones morals and ethics based on physical appearance
Does it change anything when I tell you all that I was linked to that study by an article from Cracked?
Hmmm... interesting study. I'll get back to y'all later if I decide I would like to have an opinion on the matter. I think it's something I'd actually like to consider before I unveil a strongly opinionated viewpoint.
