I prefer the plain Janes that work at being pretty Janes.
I don't know if that is shallow or not.
but there you have it.

Remarkable beauty and remarkable graciousness are rarely found in the same package.
But remarkable beauty and a voracious appetite for self are rarely separated.

Graciousness, ability, and courage, far outshine a lovely complexion.
The presence of these, make the grayest day bright.
Their absence makes the future dismal.

I guess that depends on who is doing the defining.

Seems like a pretty girl can change into a plain one
pretty quickly if she rejects you. A plain girl can
become really pretty if you fall for her.

I wonder if hot girls are better than pretty ones?
I'm pretty hot and I'm also wicked intelligent.

Do any of you other gentlemen find Plain Janes better than the Pretty ones? From my experience, the Pretty ones are very conceited even when they are friendly, whereas the Plain Janes have better personalities and are down-to-Earth. Do any of you other gentlemen find that to be the case?


What the hell? Plain janes, pretty janes? Who the hell refers to women as janes, except when filing a police report? Americans are weird.....
Anyways, anyone can be nice, anyone can be a biatch, depends on numerous factors, upbringning, etc etc. A pretty lady MIGHT be conceited and more haughty because she has good looks, its possible. But its not necessarily linked either. And since beauty is in the eye of the beholder...who's to say someone is plain looking, versus good looking? I find TONS of women good looking, which I'm sure other guys would disagree on. And probably vice versa as well.
So, I'll go after a girl I'm interested in, period. She answers back, cool. She doesnt, well, she doesnt. End of story.

Thanks for your wisdom, Surak. Although I WOULD question your sense of logic; an abstract concept such as beauty is irrelevant and illogical

Yet another example of the Narcissism!

I always get a kick when a thread is talking about beauty and some women sound of like the thread is about them. Calling themself the beautiful one. Pleeeeeease!

No and why would you think being attractive implies a bad personality? Even if it were true, I think I could deal with the conceit. I'm shallow, but since I'm a guy, I'm sure that's expected.

Regarding handsome men vs. plain men (for the sake of this thread, I will differentiate between the two types. Personally, I find beauty in every man and woman), I have met some very handsome men who really are very nice and I have also met some plain men who are equally as nice. And obviously, the same goes for women. There are some plain Janes who are very nice and there are some beautiful women who are equally as nice. Remember, there is good and bad in everyone. They don't need to be one thing or another; they just have to be.

Some of the meanest, bwitchiest, most insecure, jealous, hostile women I've ever met have been "plain Janes". "Nice guys" aren't much better.
I agree. Have met/known some real witches who were not at all particularly attractive. Have known men who claim the 'nice guy' mantle, but when you get them angry (basically because you rejected them), they are as mean or meaner than most other men. In fact I had that happen not that long ago, the man I was breifly dating before I met my SO.

I was thinking the same thing. Isn't it others who are supposed to determine if one is beautiful or not? Self proclamation in the matter is pretty funny.

Really cant have a good answer to this. Your idea of a 'pretty one' or 'plain jane' is going to be completely different than someone elses. I think looks are affected big time by attitude.

Precisely! Personally, I don't go for what's traditionally accepted as 'pretty'. Most of the time, I find that sort of thing fake, and I'd much rather see the same girl without a bunch of makeup on, just to get an idea of what she really looks like.
I like to look for beauty in the places others don't look. I'm not sure I can explain it better than that, but those of you who understand will know what I mean.

No. Almost all women are beautiful. I'm talking about internally. The trick is getting past the superficial. Conceit, in my experience, is usually a cover for insecurity.

How can anyone's personality be defined by what thier face looks like?

Ive not seen so many stereotypes in one thread in a long time. Pretty sad actually. Guess we as humans just never learn the real lessons in life until it is too late.

With respect, that is quite a naive attitude. Obviously your face can't dictate your personality directly...but your face very much dictates your path through life, your opportunities, experiences, how people treat you etc...and those interactions all go to define your personality. Better looking people *do* tend to have more negative personality traits as they have a combination of not having to try, and being more jaded in general. Sorry if that sounds Neanderthal, sexist...whatever you want to label it, but it's true.

Edit: Please note my liberal use of the word "tend" - no-one is saying all women are like this, all women are like that. Saying "not all women are like that" as a counter argument is simply avoiding the issue - no-one has said "all women" are like anything.

Even the hottest women, at some point, after a run, or waking up with a hang over, will look like a Plain Jane. Even the Plainest of Jane, with a little attitude adjustment, positive thinking and a little Max Factor and a good Stylist can look very hot.

So that does not define which one is better or worse. Grant you, an attractive woman will be with you because she likes you and wants to be with you, not because you're the only thing she could get, or the Catch. So if you are so insecure that you can't deal with the fact that she will be approach a lot, then she is not for you. There are women that are so full of themselves and are super hot. But you can't then label all attractive women that way. There are some plain women that have issues, are insecure, are disloyal, and still you cannot label women this way, either.

The only are where you need to do a reality check is, if you are active, date active women, more than likely you will continue to find active women, thus realize that women like that are not going to be interested in couch potato guys.

as the above poster mentioned,,,although not a absolute indicator of your personality....it is certainly clear that a great deal of your personality can be shown by just your facial expressions alone......

1.the puss....you know the ones...all day long...sour puss,,no matter what is going on,,,sour puss,,they cannot even get it together long enough to have a picture taken for a dating sight with a smile,,,,now,,i think it is logical to assume that based just on that persons face alone,,they are a miserable human being and is that such a stretch?

2. the smiler.....you know the one,,in every picture they have the same jokerish smile,,,no matter what is going on,,,,the smile never changes,,it is almost creepy and certainly tells us alot about the personality behind it,,these people are the opposites of the first ones i mentioned,,,always happy (legitimate or not) always smiling,,,,,,,you will recognize them later in life by the stretch marks and creases around their eyes and mouths,,,no really,,,,i see them,,older women who it is obvious they have been smiling their way thru life and it shows!

so,,in summation,,you can indeed tell alot about people just based on face alone,,,,the saying,,,,you can't judge a book by it's cover.....while mostly true,,

if the cover is a picture of a guy slitting the throat of a pretty young lady,,,you can probably assume it is not a children's book,,,ya think?
