pricillia Posted January 2, 2010 Posted January 2, 2010 (edited) This is an article that I found online which is interesting since so many of of including myself have an issue with what is and is not attractive in the opposite sex http://viewzone.com/attractiveness.html But I believe that the more that you get to know someone can make them more or less attractive overweight or average. You have chemistry, thier abilities and confidence, common interest as well. This is also a good article I loved it http://artofmanliness.com/2008/04/24/theres-more-to-life-than-six-pack-abs/ Edited January 2, 2010 by pricillia
paddington bear Posted January 2, 2010 Posted January 2, 2010 I've seen this information before and would add to it that apparently familiarity breeds not contempt but a change in perception of attractiveness - so someone you might not be particularly attracted to, but see on a day-to-day basis, say at work, over time appears more attractive to you as well. I also wonder with millions of years of evolution, if we are all attracted to beauty and want people who are more beautiful than ourselves, why have the 'non-beautiful' people not simply died out, been out-bred by those who are considered highly attractive? Also we may all be attracted to beauty, but isn't there that other study that said that we internally grade ourselves and others and tend to date only a couple of numbers above or below ourselves, so if you think of yourself as a 5 in terms of looks, you will gravitate naturally towards 4's, 5's and 6's. Therefore as a 5, while you might find a 10 stunning, you would never dare go there, knowing your limits - however the same study showed that if you were in reality a 5, but thought you were a 9, you generally attracted more 9's and 10's.
Author pricillia Posted January 2, 2010 Author Posted January 2, 2010 But don't you also think that someone who may be considered unattractive that would change a few things about themselves a hairstyle, the way they dress the colongne that they wear ect could then become appealing to the opposite sex and don't forget attitude
paddington bear Posted January 2, 2010 Posted January 2, 2010 I watched this on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2LVqQEqTcmw they took a Scottish guy and made him stand in a shop window and got passing women to rate him, then they dressed him in (what I thought was horrible sunglasses) and an expensive suit and suddenly his rating went way up in the eyes of women. So, yes, hair, clothes and general grooming, your voice, how you walk and hold yourself all have an impact - but not on the essentials such as the width between your eyes, how big or small your lips are - at some point your significant other will see you without the chicken fillets in your bra, without the lip-liner, with panda eyes, with unshaved legs, bed-head hair, so I always reckon it's best not to make your everyday look too far from reality or the guy/girl might get a shock the morning after.
