I have been attracted to men for a variety of reasons, nice lips, good eyebrows (don't ask),
marxist unibrow need not apply?
nice hands, great sense of humor, sweet,
yea.... right..
the list goes on and on. THose are all things that will initially attract me, its what keeps me that matters.... kindness, passion, morals, honesty, funny, sweet, sexy as hell, and great eye brows (again don't ask, lol)
eyebrows, important, check.
morals kindness and honesty? you did say men right?
finally a bit of wisdom from my 84 year old grandmother:
"Those b**bs might get you a man but they sure won't keep 'em."
your grandma sounds hot, can i getta number?

Posted: 3/29/2005 6:59:59 AM | | I also have to agree. and if you don' t have a picture, people don't even take a look at your profile to see if you are interesting or not. I don't have a picture on this site, but I know that I am a good man, and I know how to treat a women. But hey that is my personal opinion. | |

I've noticed a disturbing trend on these forums. People are more and more often getting flat out hostile with one another.
Be mean, but be mean in a fun and friendly way. | |

Posted: 3/31/2005 12:15:39 AM | profiles are the careful creation of people trying to find someone else and scrutinize them without giving away too much about themselves that they consider negative
i take profiles with a heaping tablespoon of salt.

Posted: 4/4/2005 2:34:26 PM | | Agreed on 100% happy1170!! If a guy doesn't have a good personality, no matter what he looks like, I couldn't be close to him. While some physical attraction is necessary, a completely "average" person will become beautiful/handsome with the right personality. | |

"We have been naturally selected to be attracted to people based on looks. Which, generally speaking, is a pretty good indication of how healthy someone is."
Yes buddy, The research is mounting that we are biologically wired to seek those who look certain ways. In one experiment researchers put infants in a room with two screens. One screen showed someone with looks that were attractive (determined by facial proportions matching those of famous people considered attractive by most). The mother was blindfolded so she could not influence the infant. The results were that the children stared at the commonly accepted attractive face twice as long as the face with different features.
There are other studies on body shape with even more compelling results in favor of a height/weight proportionate body.
For all of our so-called sophistication, it breaks down to primal motives. That's why the media focusses on certain types...that's what we'll be drawn toward. Guess I'm in a heap o' trouble. | |

Posted: 4/4/2005 5:26:14 PM | | there are differing oppinions on whats healthy and a growing number of doctors are saying that being barbie doll skinny is unhealthy while being of course obiese is as unhealthy of course i think it more unhealthy to be obiese and i am the happy median i am neither fat nor skinny and am very healthy it's in my opinion that the barbie doll type is what most find attractive it's foolish to think that way and alot of woman suffer because they feel them selves needing to get plastic surgery which is case in point pamala lee i find her to be so very unattractive even with her wealth should she be head over heels for me i'd be polite but wouldn't be interested she is so plastice i could most likely make a doll out of her and yes to be fare a growing male population is doing the same thing look at ole****clark though when i was younger i had a poster of pam when she was real and looked very hot to what i thought was important so be skinny as a pole i care not because i don't have to be the one to worry about the health problems it may or may not cause | |

i saw a show not too long ago along these lines and the gist was that women tended to prefer men with even-eyes, they would draw a line across teh eyes and eyes that were totally even were supposed to be the most attractive; they had a bunch of famous people's photographs they were doing it with, i remember clinton was one with a straight across line. the hypothesis was something to do with genetic defects being expressed.

Posted: 4/5/2005 1:39:16 PM | Granted. The "quarter and draw" method of distinguishing attractiveness (is that a word?) has been used for centuries among artists and photographers. Supposedly, if features are diametrically even, the more attractive you are. However, look at Angie Harmon (Law & Order) she's got one heck of a lazy eye and is still considered quite attractive. Of course she probably weighs 100 lbs. soaking wet. hee-hee
Also, it seems more acceptable for men to be somewhat unattractive and yet still be deemed "hot". Haven't we all seen Harrison Ford, Al Pacino and best of all ROBERT DINERO. | |

Posted: 4/5/2005 2:58:04 PM | I just thought i'd throw my 2 cents in here
Alot of it is about the looks i think initially. I mean when we look through profiles, what is the first thing we notice or look at? How many of us can honestly say "I dont even look at the picture right away, i read their profile first."
Then again, is it really fair to even try to get into a relationship with someone your not attracted to physically or if they are not attracted to you physically? I dont think its fair to either person. We have to be honest with ourselves. The looks are the first thing we see, if were not attracted to them, then why bother? Once its established that your attracted to someone, do they feel the same way? If not, then why on earth would you want to be with someone who wasn't attracted to you? Then comes the personality (which is the most important part). Do both of you honestly get along well together, and have lots to talk about? To me what make or breaks the connection is the conversation. If the person cannot hold a conversation, and is infamous with replying with one word answers, keeps to themselves to much, or plain is just not open enough to talk, thats the killer right there. It wont matter how good looking you are, its over.
Some may say "well their shy and it takes a while to come out of their shell". Well I would find it a little hard for someone to come out of their shell if they are not willing to talk at all :P. What do we do, just sit their online like mutes for days on end until someone comes out of their shell, lol i dont think it works that way :P.
Anyways, looks are and always will be a large factor initially because that is the first thing we are always going to notice. | |
