Bballswingr Posted May 11, 2006 Posted May 11, 2006 Hey everyone im just wondering, if you had to choose, which trait would you rather have in a guy, popularity or good looks. I guess this question is more aimed towards high school/ college people but anyone could answer. Personally, i am not all that popular but people always tell me im pretty good-looking so i guess im the latter.
basscatcher Posted May 11, 2006 Posted May 11, 2006 Typically a good looking person is popular. What do you describe as popular??
prfrogkisser Posted May 11, 2006 Posted May 11, 2006 Good question... I wasnt popular in school and i am (at least i think:lmao:) good looking. Being attractive, smart and shy helped me survive high school. I have also meet guys that are not that good looking and are extremely popular because of their personality not their looks..Usually the popular guys have great personalities unless we are talking about high school popularity which is based on looks and sports not academics.

If a girl, is only interested in you because you are popular then she's not worth the effort. Work on being a confident good looking man. Then you may achieve both traits.
vi_pn_babe25 Posted May 11, 2006 Posted May 11, 2006 Typically a good looking person is popular. What do you describe as popular?? That's what I was going to say, it usually works that way. And popularity can be all different types, good and bad. good: -smart -funny -nice -athelete -good looking bad: -player -druggie -law breaker -obnoxiously funny -good looking (coincides w/player)
Walk Posted May 11, 2006 Posted May 11, 2006 For me, neither. I've found the popular vote doesn't usually represent my interests. And I'm not attracted to the same things most people would consider "good looking". I like character, uniqueness, individuality. Something that shows that person has worked to gain what they have. Either confidence or education, or character. I think the majority of HS/College people are drawn to popularity over good looks. Although they tend to go hand in hand. Popular people tend to seem more confident, outgoing, have more acquaintances and better chance of meeting the right person at the right time. But it seems popular = good looking. However, you can be drop dead handsome and not have it increase your dating life if you are blushing too hard to carry a simple conversation. I'm not sure why you're asking this... but don't "try" to be popular. The harder you try, the more ellusive it'll become. And frankly, that's a huge turn off. Work on the inside stuff and the outer world will fall into place.
quankanne Posted May 11, 2006 Posted May 11, 2006 I've never bought into the looks/popularity thing, but I was kind of funny that way. Back then (and still today) the guy who kept my attention was the one who displayed a sense of humor. Looks were really nice, but most of the guys I was in school with who were eye-candy types were dull dull dull. And stuck on themselves. There's something appealing about a guy who is comfortable enough with himself that he understands it's not looks, but personality.
Walk Posted May 11, 2006 Posted May 11, 2006 I was popular in highschool and I wouldn't classify myself as good looking at that time. But I was homecoming queen. class president. stuff like that. Acutally, i was pretty gross looking. hahah. Then again, I grew up with pig farmers, so who knows. Maybe I looked like their 4-h project.
Walk Posted May 11, 2006 Posted May 11, 2006 There's something appealing about a guy who is comfortable enough with himself that he understands it's not looks, but personality. Same with me. I like a man who can laugh at himself. Not take himself too seriously. And see's the irony in the world. But some of those pretty boys seem pretty dull when you look inside their heads.

quankanne Posted May 11, 2006 Posted May 11, 2006 now, if you'd been the 4-H sweetheart, that'd be sweet ... like you, I grew up in a smaller farming community, so THAT kind of stuff was the big-time stuff. and in my school, the homecoming queen was hardly ever the class president, so you sound like a well-rounded student.
Walk Posted May 11, 2006 Posted May 11, 2006 Maybe I should add in that we only had 50 students in my graduating class. slim pickin's.
catgirl1927 Posted May 11, 2006 Posted May 11, 2006 Rather than worry about what these girls like better, I think you should work on trying to date girls with a little more character. Good lord.
Pyro Posted May 11, 2006 Posted May 11, 2006 Rather than worry about what these girls like better, I think you should work on trying to date girls with a little more character. Good lord. I agree. Looks and popularity, whatever the hell it means anymore will only get you very little for a fullfilled life.
alphamale Posted May 11, 2006 Posted May 11, 2006 Hey everyone im just wondering, if you had to choose, which trait would you rather have in a guy, popularity or good looks. Confidence is actually the #1 trait that most women are attracted to.
laRubiaBonita Posted May 11, 2006 Posted May 11, 2006 Confidence is actually the #1 trait that most women are attracted to. it is money
alphamale Posted May 11, 2006 Posted May 11, 2006 it is money more confidence can equate to more money...
luvtoto Posted May 11, 2006 Posted May 11, 2006 If I *have* to choose between those two options, I would choose popularity. That is again, if I have only those two options. I figure, if he's popular, then he's must have a good personality. (?)
whichwayisup Posted May 11, 2006 Posted May 11, 2006 Confidence is actually the #1 trait that most women are attracted to. I agree with alpha! Oh and a big cock doesn't hurt, either! (Well, actually maybe it could! )

I figure, if he's popular, then he's must have a good personality. (?) Not always true. I had a friend who was well known, lots of friends. He was a smooth talker but all his talk was garbage and BS. All lies to make his life seem better to everyone else.
laRubiaBonita Posted May 11, 2006 Posted May 11, 2006 i can't believe this thread already spans 2 pages! i say you ARE popular!
Buttaflyy Posted May 11, 2006 Posted May 11, 2006 I'd have to say I was after the good looking guys. Who cares if he's popular? If he's really good looking he'll be popular anyways. At least by all the girls!
vi_pn_babe25 Posted May 11, 2006 Posted May 11, 2006 it is money Yah I forgot the money and confidence part, big part
blind_otter Posted May 11, 2006 Posted May 11, 2006 I would say looks over popularity. The personality traist that tend to be popular aren't necessarily the best personality traits for a relationship. And who likes someone who has the mental capacity of a herd animal?
