Necromancer Posted December 25, 2012 Posted December 25, 2012 Here are pics that prove that looks are all that matters, http://img256.imageshack.us/img256/6682/okcconvo1.jpg http://img708.imageshack.us/img708/9588/okcconvo2.jpg http://img259.imageshack.us/img259/7864/fbconvo.jpg Off to Facebook and instant block after few words. His personality was the same, but totally difference reactions. Pic= Everything. 2
IT Geek Posted December 25, 2012 Posted December 25, 2012 Ok, I'm kind of confused...did you tell her that your pic was fake on OKC and then she saw your real pic on FB and blocked you? Maybe it was because you lied to her that she blocked you. 1
Lonely Ronin Posted December 25, 2012 Posted December 25, 2012 Maybe it was because you lied to her that she blocked you. Imagine that, someone not liking the fact that they are being lied to.
Lonely Ronin Posted December 25, 2012 Posted December 25, 2012 How do you think she will react if she finds out the guy is better looking than advertised? If he is anywhere close to normal, she still isn't going to like it. If you are going to lie about something as simple as what you look like, most people won't trust you to not lie about something more important.
IT Geek Posted December 25, 2012 Posted December 25, 2012 you're lying to yourself if you think the real issue here isn't the fact that he's uglier than advertised. I must be uglier in person because I went out on a couple of first dates from POF and never heard from them again.
Lonely Ronin Posted December 25, 2012 Posted December 25, 2012 you're lying to yourself if you think the real issue here isn't the fact that he's uglier than advertised. If I lie about my height and advertise that I'm a few inches shorter than I am, I don't think it would matter at all. The reverse however is not true. Regardless of how you slice it, when the first thing you do is lie to her, It says nothing good about you.
Lonely Ronin Posted December 25, 2012 Posted December 25, 2012 In fact they would be wondering why you lied in the first place. You realize you just proved my point, right?
Lonely Ronin Posted December 25, 2012 Posted December 25, 2012 I don't even know what your point is. If you look worse than your photos than they know why you lied. If you look better than your photos than they don't know why you lied. The point isn't that he looks different than his photos.... it's that he looks worse. That's why he's being blocked instantly when they find out what he looks like. The point is she blocked you because you lied, the fact that you wore less attractive than the pictures, was just the icing on the top of the cake. If you lied to her, and looked better than your pictures, she would probably questioning whats wrong with you. What is the test even supposed to prove?
Lonely Ronin Posted December 25, 2012 Posted December 25, 2012 no she blocked him because he was less attractive than the photos. If he's more attractive than the photos, more often than not she won't block him and will still want to meet up. So what your saying is the entire point of this thread is that a woman rejected a guy when she found out he was less attractive than he acted he was..... That is it with some of you guys, Almost everyone is going to do this, regardless of gender.
maybealone Posted December 25, 2012 Posted December 25, 2012 no she blocked him because he was less attractive than the photos. If he's more attractive than the photos, more often than not she won't block him and will still want to meet up. I don't know, there are still the issues of obvious problems with women and an inability to use correct grammar. Those two things would override looks with me any day.
Lonely Ronin Posted December 25, 2012 Posted December 25, 2012 I think physical attractiveness is probably the most important thing to both genders but women lie about it. Show me some place a woman said looks aren't important. Usually what the say, is it's not the only thing that matters. That's the number one problem with most of the guys on LS, they are two damn binary. It's either looks are the only thing that matters, or they don't matter at all. It's never that freaking simple. Looks mater to everyone, the only thing that differs from person to person, is how much weight a person gives to looks in the attraction equation.
Lonely Ronin Posted December 25, 2012 Posted December 25, 2012 I'm not trying to point out every single damn variable that might influence whether a girl would want to be with you. But I am pointing out that looks are by far the most pertinent one. Yes, to get your foot in the door it's the easiest one to discriminate on. It's pretty obvious why so many people discriminate based on looks, It's easy. You don't have to interact with someone to decide if they are good looking enough or not.
Lonely Ronin Posted December 25, 2012 Posted December 25, 2012 I do think some people can grow to become attracted to each other but the fact that you can decide so quickly and immediately whether someone is good looking or not at a glance speaks volumes. It's because for thousands of years of human history, picking the best mate, could be pretty much determined just by looking at the person. The issue i see on LS is that way to many guys shoot them selves in the foot, because they assume it's the only thing that matters. and while it's still important, it's not as important as it once was.

It absolutely is the only thing that matters in the beginning.
Lonely Ronin Posted December 25, 2012 Posted December 25, 2012 It absolutely is the only thing that matters in the beginning. If by the beginning, you mean the first 30 seconds of a cold approach, then I tend to agree with you. Based on my personal experiences, and those of my friends, looks are a lot less important, when you're not cold approaching someone at the bar. For example when you meet someone through a friend, or at a social event, the attractive range becomes much wider for both sexes.
Badsingularity Posted December 25, 2012 Posted December 25, 2012 (edited) It absolutely is the only thing that matters in the beginning. Things like the way a man moves and his body language are also important. Edited December 25, 2012 by Badsingularity
IT Geek Posted December 25, 2012 Posted December 25, 2012 For example when you meet someone through a friend, or at a social event, the attractive range becomes much wider for both sexes. I agree, but it also depends on repeated contact between the two people to form an attraction if there was no initial "spark".
Lonely Ronin Posted December 25, 2012 Posted December 25, 2012 I agree, but it also depends on repeated contact between the two people to form an attraction if there was no initial "spark". If you show yourself to be an interesting & fun person, I have found the rest takes care of it's self. The best thing any guy to do is stand out from the crowd, and it's kind of sad, that it's so easy to do if you are a guy.

My strong point is my intelligence and being awesome at obscure trivia questions. Not like I can really use that to stand out. LOL

Looks always matter not just for 30 sec, If you are hot it will be easy.
Author Necromancer Posted December 25, 2012 Author Posted December 25, 2012 The point is she blocked you because you lied, the fact that you wore less attractive than the pictures, was just the icing on the top of the cake. If you lied to her, and looked better than your pictures, she would probably questioning whats wrong with you. What is the test even supposed to prove? Lol, she blocked because he was less attractive. If a guy lied that he was poor when he was in reality a billionaire would he be blocked?. If a guy lied that he was a billionaire when he was poor in reality would he be blocked?. Nr 2 will be blocked, number 1 lied but won't be dismissed. Both lied. He gets dismissed because he doesn't meet up the expectations. Not because he lied. Expectation= Model looks. Anything else= dismissed.

If a guy was poor, but pretended he was a billionaire, a woman would conclude that he was lying because he couldn't get a date if he tells the truth about himself = red flag = blocked. If a guy was a billionaire, but pretended he was poor, a woman would conclude that he could easily get a date, but was 'testing her' to see if she was a gold digger = no red flag = not blocked. Ditto appearance. The issue is why the lie? If a) he can't get a girl any other way = blocked. If b) he wanted a girl who liked him for his personality not his money (model appearance/fame/whatever) = not blocked. 1
Snowman219 Posted December 25, 2012 Posted December 25, 2012 look I'll make a profile with the reverse situation happening. I'll take photos of a normal looking guy then take photos of an above average looking guy with similar features. I guarantee you they won't block him when they find out he looks better than advertised. You won't get a response this time : ). Either way, you're never going to find out. SUUUUXXXX. 1
