I'm finding myself in the queue for attractive men behind these Stepford- style porn queens more and more.

 

If you're standing in the queue for attractive men who prefer Stepford- style porn queens instead of dating men who are attracted to you for who you really are, then you're just as superficial as the men you complain about.

I don't know about "other men", but I don't like Pamela, and I think Paris is ugly. I like classy brunetes :)

 

As the saying goes "Blondes tease, brunettes please" :)

After four children, -and breastfeeding them all- I did have implants to make things look more attractive (and *stationary*...smile)...but I have had nothing else done.

 

Did you have any problems with scarring or hardness? Is it true that you have to have them replaced every 15 years or so?

Just thought I would chime in about the blondes…

Blonde woman have higher levels of estrogen, which means that blond hair is a signal for a higher fertility rate. Just like pimples are a sign of infertility, woman will tend to have the most pimples when they are not ovulating. So ya, to some extent some things are hard wired into our brains.

How many times do you hear guys say "Man I don't understand why women like washboard abs and a hairline that isn't thinning! What is UP with that?!" :lmao:

 

I have them both (a hairline that isn't thinning and washboard abs) and still I am complaining. Not about looks of other guys but beceause they are much nicer and better with woman then I am ;)

When it comes to getting girls, looks are about 15% and confidence 85%.

Even going beyond that. Confidence (indeed 85%) and looks (15%) are the initial things that make you attractive yo a woman. Beyond that, there is this whole list of things you can do that will make you less attractive for her. :p

This is not true. Unless you do bargain basement boobs. I don't think plastic surgery is the time to go with the lowest bidder, though.

I love my looks and have never considered plastic surgery like 98% of the people that live around here. I suppose I am happier to look great for my age rather than someone who is 44 and trying to look like I'm 20...

 

 

I'm in total agreement with this. I think aging gracefully is so much more beautiful than plastic surgery. My mom is in her 60s and is so ridiculously beautiful that all of my friends comment on her looks, with my male friends towing that line sometimes towards hitting on her (ugh! I've just had to get used to it).

 

Anyways - no plastic surgery, no botox, no treatments of any kind except facials. She looks her age and smiles all the time and it is these two things that make her so much more attractive than those plactic women on, say, the Real Housewives of Orange County. Have you seen these women who are in their 40s and 50s but could share clothes with their teenage daughters and have so much work done (presumably by the best doctors considering the houses they live in) and look stretched to the limit and about as fake as could be? There are few things less attractive than getting stuck trying to be the "hottie" you used to be and dressing inappropriately for your age because you are trying to fit a mold of what you think a "hottie" is.

 

:lmao:at the "wax man." Out of the mouth of babes....

:confused: Is that true? I'm going to have to do some research into that. I mean I have blonde hair and a perfect complexion and nobody seems to want to take advantage of my fertility. :lmao:

 

On the topic of plastic surgery, I never thought I would have it but I think at some point down the line I'm going to either have to have a reduction or lift and if by some odd chance I have kids I'll almost definitely have to do that. I figure if I have problems with my back in my 20s it will probably only get worse if I get older. So plastic surgery is not always superficial.

Nah, there's one article that basically explains why you're hotter than you think you are. Apparently if you are realy conscious of how you appear to others, you tend to be a lot more attractive than you think you are.

 

Plus there's an interesting one about this school in massachusetts, and I just want someone to talk about it with. I'm selfish. :p

If you are particularly attentive to your body (as women tend to be), or if you feel uncomfortable in public, you are almost definitely hotter than you think.

 

So a woman who doesn't feel uncomfortable in public is actually uglier than she thinks?

 

When you're convinced you look good, others see you in a more favorable light. Call it an internal makeover: Understanding your own powerful self-perceptions can help you stop obsessing over your appearance—and look better.

 

We have to feel better about our bodies... yet if we do, then we won't feel uncomfortable in public, which will mean we're really not as hot as we think we are?

 

And it says not to try math problems in a bathing suit.

 

It didn't say anywhere how to undergo this amazing transformation into feeling great about ourselves. The one example is how the woman was crowned a beauty queen. But I can tell you right now... that is NEVER going to happen for me. It seems like a study that doesn't give any answers. Just "feel better" about yourself. Not how... or steps to do this.. or ways to increase your self-esteem in that department. Other than to hang out with ugly people.

Flawed logic. If A then B, doesn't mean, If C then D.

 

And it says not to try math problems in a bathing suit.

 

That was a study that clearly stated that women tend to perform worse, when they feel self-conscious.

Um, this isn't a controlled research study. This was an article in a pop psychology magazine that is, if anything, closer to a research review of multiple studies, rather than a scientific paper.

I have to say, I wish I could have communicated this with catgirl in PM because I specifically wanted her to read it because she has body image issues.

 

I felt like it would increase her confidence, but WHATEVER. God forbid I try to make someone feel good. :rolleyes:

I'm having to work (they are SO mean, when I have important loveshack stuff to do... :p ) but just based on what's been posted here, I would imagine the article is intended to tell women, hey, if you're uncomfortable, you're probably a hottie, so stop worrying. Hence, they are less uncomfortable. I would imagine it's probably meant to help people like me with crippling insecurity issues. Not to convince people that they should feel bad about themselves. That's crazy talk, no one wants that.

 

I enabled PMs...

What. The. f***.

 

Whatever, dude. Put me on ignore, I dont' even f***ing care. I don't really see what your post has to do with what I said, since I was trying to make someone feel better about themselves, I never said anything about enlightening conversations or anything. Jesus motherf***ing Christ.

I love your personality!!! I make jokes about my ass too!!! =) MY ASS IS FAT...Literally!! All my weight goes to my ass!!! My guy loves it!!! I wonder why?
:lmao::lmao::lmao::lmao:

 

 

I am so glad that Jennifer Lopez has made having a big round ass a fashion statement. I have been given names at my last 3 jobs because of my ass and im cool with it. My pants will never fall down and i have my own table tray.

 

Beauty is in the eyes of the beer holder. Sometimes people might be attractive to the fantasy but the reality is we fall in love with a person who has the whole package... looks and personality. It doesnt matter because when we get old all will fall down:p;)
