Dating - Men Choose Pretty Women - Women Are Choosier

[Texasbelle]

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 or maybe what is over her heart too

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 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!

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"

LOL I know I got the better deal LMAO

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.

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?
