Jersey Shortie Posted May 12, 2010 Posted May 12, 2010 I'm not turned on by looks alone. I've been attracted to stereotypically non-attractive men and been turned on by stereotypicaly hot men. And turned off by both the same too just from looking. The more I get to know the guy, the hotter he can become. I might notice someone that sparks my fancy and I think is cute but rarely is because of their body alone and I don't stare or try to stare.
Author USMCHokie Posted May 12, 2010 Author Posted May 12, 2010 This is pretty much exactly how I dress. Wish I looked as good as the model though. Yea, I'm pretty much a tshirt and jeans kind of guy too like in that picture...
Author USMCHokie Posted May 12, 2010 Author Posted May 12, 2010 Well, Mr. Hokie, judging by the size of your thread, and the amount of women flipping out over this topic, I think the answer is a nice, resounding 'Yes'. I suppose I'd have to agree with you on this one... P.S., I have a man-crush on Gerard Butler.

torranceshipman Posted May 12, 2010 Posted May 12, 2010 This question was asked in another forum and I thought I'd get the thoughts of those on LS... It's common knowledge that men are visual creatures and will easily be wow'ed by a woman with a nice body...perhaps even wow'ed enough to approach based only on physical appearance...or just wow'ed enough to gawk for a little while and then carry on about their day... On the other hand, women are generally known to be a little less visual and rely on more non-physical traits in determining suitable partners...but would women be similarly wow'ed if they see a guy with a decent body...? Even if just to gawk for a little bit...or perhaps to even consider approaching the guy...? Or is it more 'eh...' for women...? Generally known by whom?! My friends and I love a bangin' body on a guy. Are we visual? Hell, yeah :D
SouthernSunshine Posted May 12, 2010 Posted May 12, 2010 Generally known by whom?! My friends and I love a bangin' body on a guy. Are we visual? Hell, yeah :D :bunny::bunny: I'm a very visual person! Today a cop held the door open for me at the store, and he was so hot! My body flustered for a minute, and I clinched my jaw.. Mmmm! I love a man in uniform.
SilentVoice Posted May 12, 2010 Posted May 12, 2010 Well to be honest, it's a lease. I'm actually sitting here thinking of calling her for a second date. I'm holding out hope she'll let me drive it. Half of me is saying "NO!"..since your not into her much The other half(the smart half) is saying "Yes and pass by and pick up when she goes into the bathrom!" lol just kidding Best of luck on whatever you choose:bunny:
Author USMCHokie Posted May 12, 2010 Author Posted May 12, 2010 (edited) Great taste for a man-crush Yea...I think I'm going to watch 300 now...and paint abs on me and run around my apartment shirtless and scream random lines like "Prepare for glory!"... Generally known by whom?! My friends and I love a bangin' body on a guy. Are we visual? Hell, yeah :D I guess I should have said "thought of as" instead of 'generally known'...

Rorschach Posted May 12, 2010 Posted May 12, 2010 Yay. I just picked up a part time job as a security officer, so I'll second that yay
Yamaha Posted May 12, 2010 Posted May 12, 2010 All this sh*t about a hot body is only good for the short term. Better to develop your mind for the long term.
Rorschach Posted May 12, 2010 Posted May 12, 2010 All this sh*t about a hot body is only good for the short term. Better to develop your mind for the long term. See, now maybe its just me but I see this as complete bull shat. I mean I'm 22, if I approached a girl who was my age, and she knew NOTHING about me at all, before I could even say hello I'd be immeadiately rejected if I wasn't attractive. I don't care how sharp my mind is, how confidant I am, how funny I am, no matter what my personality is, if I'm going for an attractive woman, somebody who has options and other guys who would be interested, I'm going to be turned down. So no, if I was still 300 pounds and instead of losing weight had spend the last 3 months 'developing my mind' I'd still be just as dateless and no closer to getting one.

If you base your self worth on what other people think of you, you are in for a unhappy life.
Rorschach Posted May 12, 2010 Posted May 12, 2010 If you base your self worth on what other people think of you, you are in for a unhappy life. And if you have absolutely 0 regard for how the world sees you when they don't know you, then you are delusional. Don't get me wrong, attitude and personality are incredibly important, MORE important than physical looks in the long run. But first impressions mean alot, and making a good one is important. Not just in relationships either, job interviews for instance, I don't care how qualified or how charismatic you are, if you show up as an unshaven, disheveled SLOB, you aren't going to get the job.
Author USMCHokie Posted May 12, 2010 Author Posted May 12, 2010 All this sh*t about a hot body is only good for the short term. Better to develop your mind for the long term. Both are equally important, in exactly the way you stated and the way Rorshach alluded to...short term and long term... The hot body or attractiveness is often what gets you in the door, while the mind, personality, and non-physical traits are what keep you in the house. Of course, some are able to attract with their personality and charisma alone, just as some are shallow enough to be satisfied with hotness alone... But it's nice to have both...
flc Posted May 13, 2010 Posted May 13, 2010 Physical fitness is important on many levels including being attractive. Maintaining that physical fitness becomes harder as you get older so I think it is critical you set habits when you are younger that you can carry through life. I'm 52 and I put in 6-8hrs of intense work a week, I do this because I have been doing that since I was 16. The payoff is that I feel great and I look great and that translates into a better quality of life and more self confidence.
TPPpeter Posted May 13, 2010 Posted May 13, 2010 Woman do find a figure sexy. But it's more about personality and lifestyle that makes a man attractive.
