Who's rating chart are we going by anyway? Bueaty is in the eye of the beholder right?!? Just remember the person that you are to nervous to talk to because you think they are all that, is probably a dog to someone else!

I see this happen sometimes, some guy will be dressed to the nines have a great athletic build, really handsome face (like a magazine model), but women won't approach him, and if he approaches a girl they get all flustered and can't talk.

Good looking guys also have a somewhat similar effect on other average looking guys.

Interesting how appearance has such a huge effect on people.

I usually don't get intimidated by people within my range but if I see a 10 I'll do a double take, because how often do you see a perfect 10? I think thats with anything in life, whether its a beautiful piece of art, sunset or person, people will always be awed by something thats truly beautiful.

I used to be attractive. Women were never scared of me.

Unless, of course, I chased them around the room with a jellyfish or something.

I'm very surprised by this, I know that I'm not bad looking, been told I'm handsome many times since I was like 6 years old up until only a couple of days ago but never thought it would intimidate women. I've never really thought about my looks, never thought it an important thing, but maybe its actually a negative thing and I never realized it.

I'm a fairly quiet guy, don't feel I'm very good with women in that way despite female friends informing me I'm quite the charmer, really lovely and yuk... sweet! Yet my friends tend to not be the 'pulling' girls types but get them without making any more effort than me, they get the interest while I've always seem to be the one ignored apart from looks in my direction.

Do women tend to ignore good looking men far more than others if they don't make all the moves?

Not really, there is universal Beauty. of course somethings will always be a matter of preference.

Modern science has established the concept of universal beauty by measuring symmetry, Plato theorized about this with his philosophy on Ideal forms. And we know anecdotally that there are universally attractive people, because how else could there be attractive people on magazine covers if everyone had a different idea of beauty?

with really fit, attractive guys because I would feel under so much pressure to stay really thin and fit myself


I was always told you should be friends with people who will make you a better person and leave the ones that keep you down behind.

Honestly I would say to an extent I am. I am afraid of being rejected or maybe that guy thinking I am not good enough for him =(

people are just people...and despite social presumptions, attractiveness does not necessarily equate with arrogance and confidence. if i find someone interesting, i'll say hi...regardless of whether they're plain or an uber-hottie. looks make no difference, so why be fearful or limit yourself based on internalized insecurities?

i've flirted with and gone out with guys ranging from awkward geeks to gorgeous models -- i'm a bigger girl and far from perfect myself, so i don't expect perfection from a guy. (believe me, even the hotties aren't "perfect". some of us just wear our flaws closer to the surface than others.) attraction is a chemistry thing, some guys have it, some don't. aesthetics aren't the deciding factor when it comes to what i find desirable.

I can only speak for myself, but I'd say... afraid? I trust my instincts about people... I am never afraid of what I find attractive!

First of all... I am very visual, I pick up on visual cues: smile, fitness, hygiene, ability to dress well, etc. What I see on the outside is a partial reflection of what is on the inside.

Secondly: To me an attractive man is someone whose outgoing personality and confidence exdues from him... social awkwardness is often a reflection of poor interpersonal skills, and that my friends is NOT attractive.

Last point: Why would anyone purposefully initiate a personal relationship with someone that they did NOT find attractive, or try to have one with someone who does NOT find them attractive???

It's not personal it's chemical... we all find different things attractive, sometimes you know right away, sometimes it takes a face to face meeting, or longer to determine that... for those of you who think your attractive YEA!!! ...for those of you who think you're not, don't be so sure... your own conviction (or lack thereof) could be what drives away that sexy someone you just met!

I'm not "afraid" of an attractive man. However, on the online dating forums;

1. You don't know if it is them or they put up a picture of their friend or some bogus person.

2. If they are attractive, they should NOT be "in love" with their looks and take longer to "prep" than a woman!!!

Yeah, some women are. Some are hostile.

But most are neutral or friendly. Those are the ones that matter.

No, women are usually afraid of****/conceited guys or men who look like they spend too much time in front of the mirror.

Also, I've had guys wrote to me with impossibly nice looking pics, like airbrushed models or model like poses, then they write jerky things and Im thinking that no decent looking man has to act that way so it has to be fakey pics

Would that really be fear, or maybe disgust?

It depends on the "attractive guy". I prefer the "cute guy" look though.

No one's been afraid of me but then again you did say attractive so perhaps that explains it.

I am not afriad of attractive guys, but I wouldn't pursue them. I dont really know why. I have always found the hotter the guy, the less I like his personality. I wouldn't write off every guy I considered attractive, but I never tend to take them seriously.

Again, beauty is different for everyone. My ex I didn't think was attractive at all. But so many people were "congratulating" me for hooking up with a "hottie". I really didn't understand it at all , cuz I didn't see his looks as attractive, but his personality was what got me.
