Are the average or below average couples really physically attracted to each other?

[MeganDoll]

Whenever you see two blah looking people or unpleasntl looking people together i always wonder if theyres something in your head where if youre a 4 then a 4 of the oppsoite sex looks ok to you and doesnt look as bad to you as say somebody good looking who has options and would never look at the 4

 

Or do these people in their head say i cant do any better then this person physically and even do he or she does nothing for me on a physical level id rather be with a person im not attratced to then die alone

 

It fasicnates me because i cant imagine being with someobdy the rest of your life who does nothing for you at all on a physical level but i guess some people have no choice

I'm average and I'm attracted to many women that would be considered average by most of the population. I'm not attracted to every woman though.

Attraction is based on similarities. Studies have shown this to be true. Look it up and you'll get your answer.

[D-Jam]

I think in most cases, they are attracted.

 

Attraction isn't limited to the "10s", "9s", "8s", etc. Attraction is based on a load of things.

 

Come on...if you spend your life meeting physically beautiful people who are empty inside and/or treat people badly...those "lower numbers" who come along treating you wonderfully will look way hotter.

 

I don't believe people just "settle for less", they come to reality and find real people. It's the media that's led so many to believe they should seek physical perfection.

No, average or below-average people aren't truly attracted to each other. When it comes time to have children, they use artificial insemination, since they can't get it up, due to a lack of physical attraction.

lol Thats what i figure.Who extremely attracted to the average Joe

 

Why do you think so many of us women have these hollywood crushes? if we were satisfied with a average or below average guy we wouldnt need to fantasize about other people

... and since the good-looking people are so picky and choosy the average- and below-average looking people will hump themselves dead so that they can populate the earth and rule over the planet! And then the average- and below-average looking grandkids will shout out "in you face! good-looking people's grandkids..." ...

I thought they just closed their eyes and thought of Brangelina.

 

More seriously I think there is genuine attraction. There's probably some unhappy (and kind of douchey) 4s out there who get really bored after a while and have some sense of discontent or notion they deserved better after a long relationship with another 4. There are probably 9s like that too, except perhaps they focus less on their partner's physical shortcomings.

 

Love goes a long way to increasing attraction.

You've missed the point of my sarcasm completely.

 

People are a composite of all their traits. One person's attractive, is another's dog's breakfast.

 

As far as hollywood crushes are concerned, it has nothing to do with reality. If fantasy affects reality, there are far greater issues that need to be addressed.

Why do u think its a "fantasy" because the guys amazingly hot and probably unattainable the average joe the womens with would never be a "fantasy" of hers if she saw him on tv

 

If u can admit the reaction from a physical standpoint from the average joe to the hollywood guy then i dont know what t osay

Looks can and do play a role in attraction. I get that.

 

However, no I would not go for some hot woman with a not so great personality over an average woman with a great personality.

 

Looks seem to be very important to you. Why is that? A lot of younger people rate looks as very important too, but usually as they get older looks become not quite as important.

Oh good gravy. How old are you Megan? I'm probably being generous, but I'm going to guess late teens? 19ish?

 

I mean, the question itself indicates pure superficiality that I have come to expect from most teenagers, but I'm hoping that, for the majority of people, they out-grow this way of thinking by thirty at the latest.

 

Regardless, not everyone is turned on by looks alone.

 

I'm going to go out on a limb and say you're semi-obsessed with media, make-up, and outward appearance? Does a person's intellect, integrity, character, charisma, etc. mean anything to you, or do you find that a person's sole worth is based upon physicality?

 

I vote you just approach some unattractive couples and ask them. Like, oh my GOD, like, you could totally find the answer to your question! Totally awesome!

 

Personally, I've always wondered if really old people--like geriatric old--find eachother physically attractive. If so, how do they get past all the saggy skin and wrinkles?! *gasp*

That might be a problem. She wrote in another thread that she refuses to talk to "unattractive" people.

Can you answer me the question of why the celebrity crushes then?

 

And its not me pretty much all women do it in relationships

 

And of course personality has to be there but u have to be attracted to your partner physically and have that animal attraction with each other or its not gonna work no matter how great a person he or she is

What ages are we talking about here? I'd agree if you said under 20. I would not agree if you said 30s.

Im 26 ,Looks are improtant to almost everyone its just that the less attractive cant be so vocal or picky about it because their options are less,most people wont date someobdy they arent physiclaly attracted to so to downplay looks being hugely important is ignorant

 

The bottom line is of ocurse the person has to be a good hearted perosn but theyre has to be that animal attraction by both partners ther or its not gonna work

Why do all the threads you start seem like the rantings of a fat guy dating a cute chick who's insecure about his hot best guy friend?

First of all, I'm a woman, and I can say I totally disagree with you.

 

I honestly don't know many people who have celebrity crushes, but, I'd assume it's to do with some kind of fantasy (wanting what we can't have i.e. bosses, professors, celebrities, etc.), but not necessarily to do with looks.

 

For example, I do know some women who are obsessed with Kevin Spacey--I enjoy his acting a great deal myself. Regardless, he is NOT handsome in the typical superficial aesthetic fashion. He, however, has a charm about him, he usually plays an intelligent person, he's funny, etc.

If you are referring to celebrity crushes like on, say, the guy who plays Edward Cullen in the Twilight series: it's because young people are immature and easily influenced/manipulated by the media.

 

It would be interesting to know whether you still feel this way about looks in ten years. Hopefully, you'll eventually come to the realization that a person's worth is based upon more than mere appearance.

[PinkToes]

Celebrity attraction comes from a lot of things, including familiarity. Just like you may not be attracted to a guy you work with immediately, but after you've seen each other every day for awhile, the attraction can develop, and feel just as intense as some superficially attractive person -- sometimes even more so.

 

And there are other, non-physical things that can create attraction -- such as wealth or power. Why do women sometimes fall for average-looking musicians they don't even know?

 

And all conventionally attractive people are not universally attractive. I will never understand the attraction to George Clooney, for example!

So out of curiosity, would you consider yourself a 10?
