etaoinshrdlu Posted December 25, 2009 Posted December 25, 2009 Reversal of a previous thread. I'm curious. I've gone from being in obvious athletic shape to being fairly sedentary (not overweight, just not toned) and I haven't noticed any change in how girls look at me. There's exactly the same degree of interest or disinterest. My hair, however, makes quite a bit of difference. Obviously, both genders are going to be turned on by people with perfect bodies, but since most of us don't have perfect bodies and never will, I'm thinking that it doesn't matter so much regarding the people to whom we're actually *attracted* on a deeper level. Since the previous thread showed that within reasonable limits, men care more about the woman they're with than the particulars of her body, I'm wondering if the same is true the other way around.
alphamale Posted December 25, 2009 Posted December 25, 2009 for attractive women a mans wallet is of much more importance than his body
bac Posted December 25, 2009 Posted December 25, 2009 It depends on how is bad looking that body. In other words, if a body is very ugly/or fat, it would be very important. Otherwise, a body is a secondary concern among all other secondary concerns.
pureveritas Posted December 25, 2009 Posted December 25, 2009 for attractive women a mans wallet is of much more importance than his body Ouch...SO not true !! I consider myself attractive and I can make my own money, thank you. I dated tall, thin, rotund ,short... money & looks are superficial, both are easily lost given time,circumstance...
TheBritishGuy Posted December 25, 2009 Posted December 25, 2009 Not entirely sure about body but height seems to matter to a lot of women lol
TheBritishGuy Posted December 25, 2009 Posted December 25, 2009 If I was referring to your comment I would have quoted you but "a lot" is a pretty big hint I would have thought.
dreamergrl Posted December 26, 2009 Posted December 26, 2009 How would I know, you were just speaking to me and didn't quote me in your last post The census on this board is height isn't a huge factor.. anyways...
TheBritishGuy Posted December 26, 2009 Posted December 26, 2009 It isn't hard to tell who the comment was directed at the second time around as it was a direct reply to what you were saying. Either way it still doesn't change the fact that I said "a lot" which means more than one person. The census on the board isn't as important as real world experiences unless you are limited to only dating the people on the board. People bring their own experiences to the fold.
dreamergrl Posted December 26, 2009 Posted December 26, 2009 The women I know IRL don't have an issue with height
Confusedalways Posted December 26, 2009 Posted December 26, 2009 I really am not a fan of guys who are STICKS, nor am I a fan of guys with so many muscles they can't put their arms down. Other than that-- I'm really game for whatever. As long as they are taller than me (5'4").
TheBritishGuy Posted December 26, 2009 Posted December 26, 2009 That is your experience, thank you for your input Back on subject for a moment if I may: I think in terms of body if your really out of shape it may have a bearing but I think most things are acceptable.
alphamale Posted December 26, 2009 Posted December 26, 2009 Back on subject for a moment if I may: I think in terms of body if your really out of shape it may have a bearing but I think most things are acceptable. do you think if a man had bad teeth that would affect what women thought?
TheBritishGuy Posted December 26, 2009 Posted December 26, 2009 do you think if a man had bad teeth that would affect what women thought? Well it depends on how bad to be honest. I think if yourw at any extreme in terms of height, weight, finance or practically most things then you are at a disadvantage. Seems to make sense.
Okeydokey Posted December 26, 2009 Posted December 26, 2009 out of shape doesn't matter. skinny, average, sturdy, stout, short, tall whatever is all fine. BUT more than 15-20 lbs overweight is not for me.
Mary3 Posted December 26, 2009 Posted December 26, 2009 for attractive women a mans wallet is of much more importance than his body So the ugly women like his body ?
TheBritishGuy Posted December 26, 2009 Posted December 26, 2009 So the ugly women like his body ? They can't talk I suppose
Mary3 Posted December 26, 2009 Posted December 26, 2009 do you think if a man had bad teeth that would affect what women thought? Its hard to kiss a man with bad teeth..
muse08 Posted December 26, 2009 Posted December 26, 2009 They sure better be over 5'7 or else! lol...now that's one of my prerequisites!
carhill Posted December 26, 2009 Posted December 26, 2009 You know, if the men would shut up for awhile, maybe the women could talk here
dreamergrl Posted December 26, 2009 Posted December 26, 2009 You know, if the men would shut up for awhile, maybe the women could talk here Good call
