USMCHokie Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 I've always used the term "Handsome Tuxedo-Wearing Bench Sitting Man Theory." Have I been wrong? I think that term was also listed in the thesaurus... Link to post Share on other sites
RiverRunning Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 I think I have to be a freak on LoveShack. 1. I think Asian dudes are hot, hot, hot. 2. I don't mind, and even like, short men. Too tall (really, much over 6') is a turn-off to me in a big way. I'd sooner be with a guy at the lower end of five feet. 3. I actually think I would be more drawn to the 'ugly, fat guy' than the 'handsome' guy in the tuxedo. 4. I prefer guys who are slightly overweight to guys who are average or cut. Part of it is probably upbringing: I was the ugly duckling all through school and now I'm somewhat-average as an adult. I always saw the good-looking guys as jerks. That's not true of every good-looking guy and often they were just playing a part, but it was often part of my experiences. Those were the guys who bullied me, spoke ill of me, etc. Part of it is the assumption, "That hot guy will have loads of opportunities." I fully admit to thinking more critically of 'good-looking' guys: I'm more likely to think he's a cheater, a jerk, he's physically or emotionally abusive, etc. Depending on HOW unattractive the other guy is - is he sitting with booze, covered in tattoos, smoking cigarettes or joints (I wouldn't approach in this case) - I may or may not approach him or see him more favorably. The overweight, average or somewhat unattractive guy is probably going to get more looks from me than your Typical Mr. Dashing. Because, well...he's average. I'm more attracted to that.

ThaWholigan Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 And if you were a robber, you might make the snap judgement: "I think it would be more worth my while to mug this handsome tuxedo wearing guy rather than that fat disheveled slob." But really, the tuxedo guy might be bereft of funds and the ugly man might have pockets full of gold doubloons. So, once again, looks prove to be everything. Unless … the tuxedo guy also had the $$. Or what if neither of them had any - but at least tuxedo man had the garb. You could sell it, or return it to the rental place for the deposit refund, if worst came to worst. And then, he would be a naked handsome man sitting on a bench in your neighborhood. Would you automatically think more highly of him than of a fat ugly Members Only wearing dude on a bench right across the street? What do you think? OMG.....too many perceptions.......so many possibilities........looks could mean everything and nothing all at the sam.....

iris219 Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 What if the handsome man was dressed in dirty clothes and was clearly a homeless person, while the overweight man was clean and well-dressed? What would your perception of the two be then? 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Mme. Chaucer Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Joking aside, I don't think anyone is going to argue with you that good looking people are treated better than crappy looking people in general. I want to live!!!! 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Anela Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 That's a good point. If I saw a guy sitting in my neighborhood with a tuxedo on and he was (ahem) "handsome", my first thought would be: "This guy is going to get robbed immediately....." :lmao: I'm not sure what would happen here. He might get a few Bond jokes, some funny looks. Or he might be run off by the sight of a skunk. Link to post Share on other sites

Author Necromancer Posted July 31, 2012 Author Share Posted July 31, 2012 Well-dressed, good-looking men, can be douchebags, rapists, etc. just as easily as someone who looks more rough around the edges. Yes, but who would be more likely be considered a rapist by society?. We know the answer. Link to post Share on other sites

Dismantled Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 fat women have boyfriends while good looking guys are virgins. women dont need looks nor personalities to get a guy. when will u learn? I agree with this 100%. I've actually met guys my age (in their 20's) who are for all intents and purposes average or good looking, yet are still virgins. Unless the girls a Jesus freak, you're not going to find an average or good looking woman in her 20's whose still a virgin. Hell I doubt you'll even find an ugly, fat one woman who is such. In fact, I bet by the time they're 23, they've had more than 2 long term relationships. I have no 100% foolproof explanation for this complete unbalance. My view is that like other people say, there's maybe a 15% of men women are actually attracted to , and these guys get around. Even the ones who have relationships, have them for 6 months or a year at a time, then when they leave these women they jump on to another woman who was single while he was with the previous woman, etc etc. In other words, women keep themselves single despite many good offers, waiting for one of the "elites" to throw them a bone (no pun) after things don't work out with their women.

Leopard Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 OP, I have the solution. Everywhere you go, wear a tuxedo. Now, everybody will treat you well. You laugh at him but its true. Generally society will view people in a certain way, which is why people with tattoos and piercings are stigmatized while men in suits are taken more seriously. There is a reason this stereotype exists. Link to post Share on other sites
