John316C Posted May 24, 2014 Posted May 24, 2014 Tell me how attractive you think you are because that affects how you perceive others. http://media.tumblr.com/e851fd790fd0438965b0ec1e884cdc53/tumblr_inline_mgte7w8GaQ1r61ss2.jpg This guy is a really good looking guy. Obviously he takes care of himself is mannered. What if this guy was well mannered, takes care of himself, is smart, but hardly has any social/conversational skills? How far would he get, with an attractive woman? Another photo of a guy: http://media-cache-ec0.pinimg.com/originals/5e/db/62/5edb62ee8bf9d55b6b41bd42825b5289.jpg
Taramere Posted May 24, 2014 Posted May 24, 2014 Tell me how attractive you think you are because that affects how you perceive others. Okay, but not young and pretty enough to be universally considered attractive. Average amongst women my age who are in a healthy weight range, I would say. http://media.tumblr.com/e851fd790fd0438965b0ec1e884cdc53/tumblr_inline_mgte7w8GaQ1r61ss2.jpg This guy is a really good looking guy. Obviously he takes care of himself is mannered. Objectively he's very good looking - but he's too vain and high maintenance looking for my tastes. A fashion plate who I would probably struggle to find any common ground with, and I'd probably also think he was likely to be more into men (including himself) than women. What if this guy was well mannered, takes care of himself, is smart, but hardly has any social/conversational skills? He could have fantastic social/conversation skills, but I still can't imagine wanting to spend much time with him. I just don't connect with the way he looks. How far would he get, with an attractive woman? I think he'd probably be a dream come true for a woman who was attractive and very fashion conscious Another photo of a guy: http://media-cache-ec0.pinimg.com/originals/5e/db/62/5edb62ee8bf9d55b6b41bd42825b5289.jpg Now you're talking. If I were younger, obviously. Only problem is that you can't see his eyes. It could be that he would take those sunglasses off and it would change everything - but based purely on the picture he looks far sexier, more laid back and cute. However, on closer inspection he's holding a woman's hand. So the main advantage man 1 has is that he might be single, however there's also the possibility that he might be gay. 4
somedude81 Posted May 25, 2014 Posted May 25, 2014 Any dude who looked like those guys, and had a halfway decent personality could have practically any woman they want without having to do anything. 4

Another photo of a guy: http://media-cache-ec0.pinimg.com/originals/5e/db/62/5edb62ee8bf9d55b6b41bd42825b5289.jpg The first one is David Gandy and he is one of the most popular and handsome male models out there. He is also age appropriate for me. He is swoon worthy, very manly, very dark and tall and handsome. I wouldn't kick him out of bed if I were single even if he had the conversation skills of a college hockey player. He would be attractive enough for dating and sex. Not marriage or life if those were his only qualities. David Gandy has entire Pinterest pages devoted to his sexiness, his naked photos are works of art. The second one looks like an effeminate kid to me. Preppy doesn't do it for me plus he is so young looking. Not my type at all. I don't find him at all attractive. I wouldn't give him the time of day. Oh, and I'm in my thirties and very beautiful and fit still. I look the same as I did in my twenties. Edited May 25, 2014 by Smilecharmer
ayala Posted May 25, 2014 Posted May 25, 2014 Neither are really my type in terms of aesthetics, but they're okay (I guess? Don't hurt me) But for me, generally I'm generally mistrusting of anyone at first until I get to know them on a more personal level. I don't care how hot or attractive a person is appearance wise lol I'd rather get to know the person first before deciding if I like them or not. 3
topaMAXX Posted May 25, 2014 Posted May 25, 2014 Tell me how attractive you think you are because that affects how you perceive others. I have a good-looking face, but I'm short. I also have a charming personality. The combination of these things brings out the motherly instinct in women. Generally, if I have a female boss, I'm able to get away with murder because of this. I feel that this has positively impacted me career-wise. As far as with dating, short girls love me. Average height girls, it's hit or miss. Tall girls, it's usually a no (though not always). http://media.tumblr.com/e851fd790fd0438965b0ec1e884cdc53/tumblr_inline_mgte7w8GaQ1r61ss2.jpg This guy is a really good looking guy.

d0nnivain Posted May 25, 2014 Posted May 25, 2014 The first one did absolutely nothing for me. The second one was handsome. While both may be aesthetically pleasing to many if they were dumb, stuck up, boring, mean, bigoted or otherwise had bad personalities, they wouldn't go far. The take away for anybody seeking to reinvent themselves is that both men radiated an air of self confidence. They were happy in their own skin. Until you like yourself nobody else will like you either. 2
HappyLove Posted May 25, 2014 Posted May 25, 2014 First guy doesn't look like he'd be into women. Second guy is kinda cute seems confident. 2
preraph Posted May 25, 2014 Posted May 25, 2014 Both those guys would attract plenty of women, even if they are backward socially or whatever. First of all, the premise is off because both those guys are obviously fairly together since they have great wardrobe and we can assume they're employed. Looks, taste, job. That's enough for a lot of women. What you just did was basically ask if all the swimsuit models were empty headed, could they possibly still attract men. Think about it. 1
Imported Posted May 25, 2014 Posted May 25, 2014 (edited) Tell me how attractive you think you are because that affects how you perceive others. That is the problem with getting feedback like this. Also, they are behind a computer screen looking at a picture giving feedback that puts them in the best light. This is not the real world. Even with your requirement, it amounts to nothing. Hey, that guy wears a tight shirt and has style unlike what I am use to.....he must be gay! After a certain "level" for male attractiveness, I think you can get in your own way with many women and will need to expend effort difussing them. Women will come up with all sorts of defense for their own ego, many times at your expense. If you really want to, you can overcome it with a lot of them. Looking like that guy will come with it's own set of problems you will have to learn to deal with. There are always women that come with no drama though. Socially awkward? No, more than likely...you'll get torn apart by other dudes and then girls too. Your growth will be slow. Edited May 25, 2014 by Imported
thefooloftheyear Posted May 26, 2014 Posted May 26, 2014 Looks as queer as Liberace...yep, he's purty... Again, Ive said it in another thread...Are all women(and men now,too) thinking that a guy that looks like a flaming homosexual is the male standard now? Is 150 lbs the cutoff?? I dunno...I gotta believe some women would like a more rugged and well built guy....but hey, Im a guy so what do I know.. TFY 2
Cafe au lait Posted May 26, 2014 Posted May 26, 2014 This is a fun thread. I'd say the first one is a 9/10, and the second is 10/10 based on what I can see of him lol. I consider myself an above-average attractive female, 18 years old. I'd rate myself a 7.5 out of 10.
iiiii Posted May 26, 2014 Posted May 26, 2014 (edited) The first guy is a cutie! I'd call him a 9/10. The second guy does nothing for me. I can see that he is handsome, objectively, but he doesn't attract me whatsoever. I'd rate him perhaps a 6/10. Fun thread, but I wouldn't necessarily accept a date from either of them just based on looks, and definitely wouldn't necessarily stick around long term just based on looks. Looks are just what gets you that initial attention. But is it personality that keeps a partner (or doesn't keep them!) Sorry, forgot to add, how good looking am I? For my age (early 30s) I'd say maybe a 7? Depending on what you're into, of course. Edited May 26, 2014 by iiiii
daisydook Posted May 26, 2014 Posted May 26, 2014 Neither do it for me. Lol. Both are a little too skinny and both are way too feminine looking for me. I know they are decent looking men. Don't get me wrong. Neither of them are a attractive to me though. I prefer a man with a little more hair, a little more weight on him and someone who looks more manly.

Potz4prez Posted May 26, 2014 Posted May 26, 2014 My friend said the exact same thing ^ Guys who have bigger builds get rated higher than me even though I'm probably more built muscle wise... but have a skinny build. I should start a thread about how I can't get dates because I'm skinny -.- lol Related: How important is a guys physique to you ladies? The same friend said that having a six pack gets me no brownie points with the ladies.
ayala Posted May 27, 2014 Posted May 27, 2014 As far as physique goes, I love tall and slender/skinny but built just enough so he's got some muscle to him. I don't really need someone super built because c'mon, I'm less than 5 feet and 100lbs, I don't need someone macho/incredibly built to pick me up. I also have a thing for long hair on guys...It's just a perfect combination for me. Tall and slender with long (taken care of) hair. *cough* anyway, each woman has their own different preferences. What one woman doesn't want, could be another woman's dream. Just be comfortable with yourself and the way you are and rock your body as it is but also take good care of it. Confidence.

How you doin? haha -.- Totally agree... confidence is sexy no matter the gender. I can still picture the last totally confident girl I met... and I didn't even get a chance to take her on a date.

Lol a lot of people need validation from other people because of all the social media/photoshop/makeup that portrays an aesthetically "perfect" person. We like to compare ourselves to other people instead of looking what we have, when whatever it is we have is unique and there's no one quite like us. Regardless of how similar our traits our, we're still different. We just need to be more honest with ourselves, accept who we are, and stop trying to vie for attention. The right people that we need in our lives will find us just as we'll find them. That's all that matters. Everyone else is temporary. 1
alwayshere Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 Unless one actually IS one of these guys, perhaps one should focus on making the best of one's SELF....and not just the outside. Myself? Some men think I am beautiful, some don't. My social life improved when I stopped whing, grew up, and made the most of what I have. 2
tbf Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 Gandy's very attractive but in watching interviews, he's too soft for my taste. Second guy's too young for my taste. As far as my own looks, not too shabby.
guest572 Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 David Gandy is slim but got quite a lot of muscle actually. He's huge for a model. I'd give him a shot though, he is really hot, that photo isn't the best though. What was the question again? 1
