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

[justforfun]

I don't know, I'd be pretty impressed if Megan posted a picture of herself and she turned out to indeed be a 5'6", 115 lbs...man..with big boobs.

 

I'd think that was pretty hot.

 

 

I'd find the 115lbs a little too skinny for me. I would also prefer he have a large appendage too. Now, that would be hot!

It is true we all react to great looking people - men or women. Let me ask you, lets say you had to choose between two guys

1. one is average looking but has a great personality and a great job.

2. The other is GREAT looking and is a bit self centered, a bit vain, a little boring and has a lame job.

 

Who would you choose?

 

 

 

 

 

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

[Coley S.]

While the job part doesn't concern me overly much, I would choose option number one.

 

I am confused as to why MeganDoll thinks the only way you can be attracted to someone is through their looks. I can't be the only one who may not have been attracted to someone initially, but through some circumstance became interested in them.

With zero proof "she's" no where near 5'6 115.. I'm thinking: a he/she that never leaves the house and has more cats than "it" can count on all 14 of his/her fingers.

Oh dear. looks aren't a governing factor in choosing your R. But thats been said. Sure, you have to find them attractive, but whats attractive to one, may not be to another.

 

See, a person can be beautiful to you even if they aren't traditionally beautiful. You may see behind the skin etc.

 

Yes, looks are important, but heck, you're going to be old someday, and looks fade. What's wrong with average as well? Average isn't bad looking, it's good looking in my book, it's normal. Most women are average looking if you remove the make up. And average is good

 

I consider myself average, normal, nothing particularly special, but I've had guys (ones I've rated 8s, and 9s) hit on me. I'm a 5, in my eyes, so yeah that pleased me no end. Yet, they were jerks. Sure, they looked damn good, but I wouldn't stay with them. There was nothing there to hold my interest.

Megan, this isn't a matter of your "truth" being what people are thinking and not wanting to say. Or even a matter of people "hating" on you for saying it. Most of us think you are kind of ridiculous about this whole thing. You can't even pick up on sarcasm.

 

I did enjoy the part though where you said you don't like to rate yourself but you clearly have no problem rating others. Why is that? I know why it is but I think that's something you need to think about.

 

As for attraction, I have been attracted to a wide range of men. I have been attracted to average guys, not even hand some guys, and very handsome men. I have been turned off be average guys, not even handsome guys and very handsome men. WHy? I suspect chemistry plays an even bigger part in attraction then the sum of someones face or body parts. Perhaps the only sense you are intune with is your visual one. Which sucks for you because you will miss out on some much. I mean seirously, you're 26. Get a grip.

[Lucky_One]

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

 

I'm voting for looks or for the fact that she puts out easy.

[Els]

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

 

LOL.

 

Well, there's nothing I find less attractive than people who can't get a simple joke or completely miss well-placed sarcasm.

 

Fortunately you're a woman (I... think?), so that doesn't narrow my dating pool any. Even more fortunately, my bf's good with that, so it contributes to his attractiveness.

[VeveCakes]

Prepare yourself for a lonely life full of heartbreak Megan...

[D-Jam]

Frankly, if it's so much about looks then why is it we see many "averages" and even "uglies" in loving, happy, RLs and even marriages?

 

While the "above averages" are chronically single, never seem to find someone who satisfies their long list of requirements, and even at times gets protective and paranoid?

 

I'll see good looking guys with money be very reluctant to marry because of fear of divorce and losing half their wealth, or even afraid of commitment because they think someone better will come along. Same deal with women.

 

I see a lot of "beautiful people" out there chronically alone, getting into RLs and quickly breaking up, etc...but all the averages and below averages happy. Makes you think.

 

Even the hot celebrities can't seem to make their RLs work.

 

 

I'm not saying beautiful people can't find perfect happiness...but I am saying I see those so obsessed with looks and other shallow factors chronically unhappy and single while those who focus on the real things find that right person.

While you might not agree with the OP's opinions, there's no need to be abusive like this. It's offensive to anyone who does happen to be a transsexual, or who does happen to be agoraphobic and has a lot of cats, or who has genetic abnormalities like an extra finger. In particular I find calling a person "it" to be very offensive, whatever their gender status. Even if these things were true, it doesn't make the OP's opinion less valid; name calling is the last resort of those who lack the intelligence to make a counter-argument.

This post doesnt surprise me..The pedestal we put really good looking people on weve created a monster where they think theyre some superior beings..

[shadowplay]

I'm always astounded by how superficial people can get.

Im not as i said we put really good looking people on such pedestals in this society just for being good looking why wouldnt they think being good looking is an accomplishment and not good looking as being inferior when we overly praise them for something they had nothing to do with..

This is the first time I actually find myself agreeing with you. :/

Never too late to start getting smart j/k

[16thstreet]

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.

 

lmao

excellent!

#1 for a relationship

#2 for a fling

Bumping to show how pathetic women really are.

It only shows that you either can't read, or completely disregarded all the women who disagreed with the OP.

[txsilkysmoothe]

Sure thing! It's the internet! post a pic then miss "above average"..be sure to add todays date and a piece of paper with MeganDoll written on it. Until then you're 5'2 265 and as flat as a board.

 

 

I think it impossible to be 5"2, 265 AND flat as a board, one would at least have man boobs.

[ella23]

Just went through the thread. Why is it that in so many posts you(Megan) claim the way you think and behave is how 'all women' think and behave? Stop behaving like a spokesperson for all of us.

[randall]

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?

You're basically saying if a good looking person was dating an average looking Nobel prize winner they could find somebody who was just as good but better looking?

 

The above is an extreme example but it makes my point well. You think all personal qualities other than looks can be easily substituted by the next anonymous person you find. People with good all-round qualities are not that easy to find. You yourself demonstrate that supposedly 'good looking' people can have less than desirable personal qualities!

[citygal1]

I think most people care about looks to some extent. However some people are more picky about looks than others are. Some people would only go after a person that is a "9" or "10". While others would date a "6". Especially if that "6" had other qualities ( personality, intelligence, common interests etc ) that they were looking for. Also looks can be subjective to some extent. Some people may be attracted to thin women or blondes. While others may be attracted to larger women or redheads.
