| Why Do You Have To Be Drop Dead Gorgeous?
Posted: 11/22/2004 8:28:07 PM | "Just be drop dead yourself" That was awesome! Being good looking and being good lookin with a personality...there is a huge difference. Me personaly, i think if you can look good in a pari of sweats and a t-shirt, then you can look good in anything!

Posted: 11/24/2004 4:19:49 AM | Sweet....
I know that "priorities" in the dating world seem to change a lot with age. Younger people say in their late teens early 20's ....tend to go only for looks....call it peer pressure ...society... imaturity.... etc...
As you get a little older and obtain life experience you seem to expand your horizons in what your looking for in a mate.
Looks are important still....but there's other things also... Honesty, confidence, attitude, successs,,,,,many many things.... Looks may get "their" attention for about 5 second....but there's got to be more ..LOTS more.
I'm NO drop dead gorgeous gal myself........ But I LIKE me....and sweety that's half the battle. | |

Posted: 6/23/2007 7:29:58 PM | sweet child, is your profile no longer available or am I just too dumb to figure how to view it?
assuming that looks = sex, it's more than just about beautiful looks. take it from someone with quite a bit of experience. I won't deny that for a relationship I like to gaze into a pretty face, but that doesn't necessarily equate to "drop dead gorgeous". Sexual appeal (and maybe this is just because I'm in my 30's now) isn't just about underwear-model good looks. It's a lot about how you handle yourself in bed. Are you creative? Open? Sensual? To me that counts a lot more than a perfect body. And to be honest, it's a lot harder to find a women with an exciting sexual side than it is to find someone with an awesome body.
I think guys tend to forget this when they are browsing through the profiles. And it's also sometimes hard to identify in a profile as well. After all, if you say in your profile how you're... say, experimental and open to new ideas... in bed, it makes you seem like a slut. Which is sad. So we tend to focus on your looks. When I view a profile I look for two things: attraction (she doesn't have to be perfect, but I do need to find her attractive); and does she seem like an interesting person to know? Of course I think about sex. What man doesn't? But I read her profile to see if she seems creative, open and adventurous in nature, because that gives me a good idea of what our sex life would be like.
I'll pass on a gorgeous girl who strikes me as boring over someone who is just "cute" but seems like she'd be fun sexually.
Please keep in mind that I'm just talking about sex here... as that's basically what we mean when we talk about someone's picture. There's more to it than just sex, but in my experience, an interesting person to talk to is also an interesting person to make love to.
Definitely keep yourself in shape, take a flattering picture of yourself, but don't think that all the guys on this site only consider your picture. Some of us look at the "big picture" as well....

Posted: 7/9/2007 9:35:39 AM | i think a lot of emphasis is placed on looks nowadays. just look at any fast food commercial and pay attention to all the young attractive models they use to endorse their product. in reality, how many of them actually eat there? probably not many
put simply, "you don't get a second chance at a first impression" and for lots of people they feel that first impression is looking attractive.
looks do play a key part in attraction, that's biological. but our fascination with looks goes beyond just looking for a date or partner. for example, go to any supermarket and go to the spreads section. take a jam-jar off of the shelf and rip half of the label off and put it back on the shelf. see if anyone buys that jar. most people will buy all the jars around it because they think there's something wrong with that jar, purely because the label is torn. fact is that the jar has the same jam that the other jars had.
i feel that same metaphor can be used for looks in the dating game. sure, there are times when some of us feel like that torn jam-jar, waiting to be taken off of the shelf, wondering why all the other jars get chosen...
...however, when you do get chosen, it means that whoever chose you overlooked the outside and saw what was inside.
and that's the good news, it's not always about looks. there are many phrases that reinforce this point, most famously "never judge a book by its cover", "beauty is only skin-deep", etc. | |

Posted: 7/9/2007 9:45:51 AM | I don't think I am drop dead gorgeous, but I am attractive. I am so sick of men wanting dates just based on my looks. I am carrying a 4.o GPA in college (yes, I went back to school this old), I have a decent knowledge of politics, have many points of value. I have wished so many times I was fat and ugly, just so people would see WHO I am. God made the exterior look this way, I had nothing to do with it. I am who I am and I want what I want. You be the same, no matter what.
Good luck in your search, cause truth be told, I am NOT the one having the luck. | |

Posted: 7/9/2007 1:17:12 PM | | I met a drop dead gorgeous blonde who is a friend of a friend of mine. I was like WOW of course attracted at first. But I heard and seen that night she dates and goes out with really awful guys(guys who dont do a thing for her arent the caring types is the impression I got). The kind she fights with everyday from what I hear. Anyways we all partied that night at the bar, she got all drunk made a scene after the bar. We saved her from getting taken away from the cops. Beneath all that beauty was someone who seemed all confused and lost. Not all drop dead gorgeous women are the best thing out there. I bet there is lots not living the perfect life like we assume they are. I dont want someone drop dead gorgeous, i would take sweet loving attentive caring woman over anything drop dead gorgeous. | |

Posted: 7/9/2007 5:18:42 PM | I do not pretend to be drop dead gorgeous, but I sure would like to think I look pretty to a potential boyfriend.
During the work week, I wear my usual amount of makeup, but on the weekends and other days off, I am often found with very little makeup, if any, and my hair in a ballcap.
Gosh I love wearing tennis shoes, but dressing up for work is a must and I am used to wearing dresses and pumps.
I think we all have something beautiful about us and an astute person will see that.

Posted: 7/25/2007 1:50:27 PM | | Like 'Last Knight' said, confidence is totally key. The way you view yourself can have a big impact on a lot of things; physical appearance IS one of those things. The way you carry yourself and hold your head up...things like that are attractive too. Be comfortable in your own skin and that WILL show through. | |

Posted: 7/26/2007 6:29:25 AM | (Just a quick question… Why do people today spend so much time fusing about what you look like? I mean it is good to take care of yourself but appearance seems more important these days then who you are on the inside. Why is that? Isn’t the person within more significant then the person on the outside?)
Sweety, your right the world today of men seems to be lead around by the concept of Barbie Doll. It's a world of immediate gradification. I think men ages 40 and up seem to feel it necessary to have an younger, very attractive thin woman on their arm. It seems to have the implication of the woman making the man. I refer to this as Arm Candy. There was a time in this Country where relationships were established by regular mail. People found each other through families or advertisment, they wrote letters, fell in love and eventually would marry. The appearance of either one wasn't the issue, nor was the distance. It was truly a romantic time. Through research I ran across a story; During the 1840's a group of men, old and young, traveled into the wild country of Texas. The established farms and ranches, build towns.. What they lacked were Women. One of those men, traveled by ship to Ireland and brought back an entire village of Women. Together the new to be Texan's and the Irish ladies, married and had families.
Today a woman must meet all the criteria set forth by the searching male, and live within an established distance. Just remember, the importance in your life is how you feel about yourself. Be comfortable with you.. There will be someone who comes along who will love you for yourself. Take comfort in remembering, those who just walked past with out even being kind, will still be online looking for a long time after you have found your dream and left the dating world. | |

Posted: 7/26/2007 3:22:40 PM | | Man, this statement pisses me off - being beautiful does not equal no personality. And neither does it guarantee you will be taken/happy etc. There are lots of ugly people that are mean, there are lots of beautiful people who are mean, and vice versa. The only way you can tell is if you get to know them on a different level than "Oh my god, I wanna screw you." | |

Posted: 7/26/2007 3:43:25 PM | i'm with yadayadayada on this one.
if you lack in at least a *little* physical beauty,
nobody will spend time talking to you.
take me for example.
in highschool, i was a hot mess.
no personality, no looks.
stands to reason i didn't have any dates.
now, that i'm thru with highschool and my looks are, well, fabulous,
people that didn't say so much as "what time is it?"
are hitting on me left and right.
i still have a dissociative personality,
i see most of the population as little more than meat with eyes.
but it's the looks that pull people in at first.
then they start listening to you when you talk.
