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

[thegreatmoose]

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

Looks are important to some degree and this is one reason I'm trying to improve my looks by working out and dressing nicely. There are so things I can't change though. My height can't be changed, but I'm lucky there. Most women like people of my height. My face shape, while not ugly will never get me into Hollywood.

 

Of course I like a women who is very attractive to me. However, a women who is moderately attractive and has a great personality is very desirable to me.

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

 

I dont rate myself iam attratcive and receive tons of attention from men

 

All im saying is do you deny that therye has to be that animal attraction initially between two people for it to have a chance to work?

[always_searching]

Yes ugly people have sex too. Good sex according to many!

 

Like, NO WAY!!!!

 

How can ugly people...bump uglies?! And, even if they somehow manage to force down the vomit long enough to do so...they actually ENJOY it?

 

Gross!

You know what? I never, ever wonder about this. I am always curious as to why other people do.

Do these men want you for your personality or is it mostly for your looks?

No one is going to deny that "animal attraction" is important. However, it isn't based upon looks alone--many things factor into "animal attraction."

 

There's the whole pheromone argument, for example.

Her spelling.

 

Come on, no one else smells troll or hidden agenda? Am I taking crazy pills?

[always_searching]

No its because we like looking at great looking men no mateter what age we are

 

That's just not true.

 

You're generalizing all women based upon your own skewed perspective?

 

Very interesting.

 

You're 26, you say? I'm saddened by this bit of knowledge...

Yup, that's what I'm saying. Initial animal attraction is predictive of absolutely nothing. Except maybe a lifetime of bad relationships, if you rely on that as a sorting mechanism.

And you may be right, but it's so much fun to play along.

You misunderstood me i didnt say thats all their has to be i said that feeling that you want to jump your partners bones at any minute has to be one of the qualities in a relationship for it too last or ever happen allot of times

[MeganDoll]

I concur. Picture with something in the photo to indicate your username.

 

You don't have to post a pic of your face--let's just see this 5'6", 115 lbs, big-breasted frame of yours. Clothed, of course.

You're right. We're all just ugly, fat, insecure people, sitting at our computers (eating, no less) complaining about other ugly, fat, insecure people...

 

Wait a minute...

I think pretty much everyone perceives the more attractive people in society to be attractive, but the "acceptability" of another person, for want of a better word, is influenced by one's perception of one's own attractiveness. So a very attractive person might be completely turned off by an ugly person and think "no way", but another ugly person would look at that ugly person and judge them to be acceptable... mostly because everyone obviously judges themselves to be acceptable, so of course others on the same level as oneself are also judged as acceptable.

 

Note that we're talking about self perception here... sometimes attractive people with poor self perception will settle for more unattractive people because they don't perceive themselves as being that attractive, and vice versa with unattractive people who perceive themselves to be of higher attractiveness than they actually are. Wealth and status also feed into this perceived attractiveness, not just looks... so a physically attractive woman might find a powerful man attractive despite him not being physically good looking.

 

I think, as another poster said, there are research studies indicating that people are most attracted to others who are a similar level of attractiveness to themselves (considering all traits such as looks, personality, wealth, etc). If both partners are not of similar attractiveness, there's often an inequity in the relationship which results in it breaking down (because one feels dissatisfied while the other feels insecure because their partner is too good for them).

Than you nobody wants to date down in looks unless moneys involved

 

If u date down in looks your gonna say to yourself i can find someody just as good as you as a person but better looking so why am i settling?

[TheLoneSock]

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*

 

I would like to think that all the memories of their lifetime from when they were both young and energetic just stick with them through the years and keep the attraction there at the surface level.

I have a serious question for you, though: Is it true (another poster suggested it) that you don't even like conversing with ugly folks?

 

Now, is that just ugly men, or ugly women as well?

 

You know, if you hang around ugly women and you're really as hot as you say you are, you'll get a lot more attention. You should diss those other hot girls--they'll just bring you down.

 

 

I wonder, do you read? I mean, besides magazines? I know you're really hot and all, and you don't need no book-learn'n, but pick up a book--something on aesthetics or personhood, maybe--and read it. It may help broaden your views on the worth of an individual and on attraction.

 

Also, we’re poking fun at you, because your posts indicate a lack of education and just plain ignorance on your part. You’re right to bring it up, though: we really shouldn’t “hate” on you. You’re posts, if they are genuine, are a cry for help. We should be educating you, not making fun.

[PinkToes]

You forgot "blah" and "unpleasant looking."

 

Damn, we're lucky the extremely attractive people will even bother to visit this site and try to educate the rest of us on what really matters in relationships.
