Ariel85 Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 I'm not sure I get the point of this thread. OP - you sound a little bitter towards pretty women and the men who pay attention to them or something. I think most people, if not all, enjoy looking at someone attractive. Do some people (of both genders) stay with people just for their looks? Sure. As much as they do for money, social gain, etc. I think it's perjorative to call a guy who's with a pretty woman a "sucker". First off, you have no idea what's really between two people, so to assume that it's superficial is just that - a superficial judgement. Secondly, even if someone was with a partner solely for looks, so what? If this is the guys number one on his non-negotiable list, why is that such a bad thing? Link to comment
WhenWillILove Posted October 2, 2011 Author Share Posted October 2, 2011 Are guys a sucker for a pretty face and a hot body? YES. If these pretty faces had substance behind them, or at least the substance we were looking for in a woman, we'd never leave them. Nor wander. Nor experiment. BS! Look at Hollywood stars! Look at Jen Aniston and Brad Pitt! She's got beauty, she's got personality and she got cheated on! Look at Sandra Bullock and her ex! He cheated on her! Come on now! Irregardless of how beautiful she is, some men will always be cheaters! Link to comment
WhenWillILove Posted October 2, 2011 Author Share Posted October 2, 2011 I'd better be careful how I say this. MANY men are very much suckers for a knockout beautiful face and body and will do MUCH more for that type of woman than a regular girl. You witness that all day in public if you pay the least bit of attention to people. But you find out in the end, like Demi Moore just did and expressed on her Twitter page, "remember.....you've got your own back" In the song Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend, "and we all lose our charms in the end." And a few years ago Cher told us, "Sooner or later we all sleep alone." Enjoy it while it lasts because it's a phase that will fade away in time. True. Enjoy it while it lasts. But....every beautiful woman out there that starts to age and lose her looks, I'm sure feels even a tinge of bitterness. Link to comment

I used to be bitter because I thought I was so, so average looking back when I was 12-18. I don't think I'm average looking now though. But, there are definetely a lot of pretty women out there and I enjoy looking at them! Same with men! Link to comment
WhenWillILove Posted October 2, 2011 Author Share Posted October 2, 2011 I never heard Megan Fox open her mouth. Wow, well, your friends sound conceited but at the same time, insecure and probably a bit of low self-esteem. Maybe she's insecure with the fact that she believes most men approach her because she's beautiful and nothing more. While you, who is 'uglier' than her, get approached more for brains? But then again, the men that approach you are also first doing it for looks, I would guess. We all go for looks at first sight! I'm sorry! Link to comment

Miss Firecracker Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 True. Enjoy it while it lasts. But....every beautiful woman out there that starts to age and lose her looks, I'm sure feels even a tinge of bitterness. That is why you see these aging stars acting strangely. I've seen it through the years, so many of them get so jealous when the next generation comes along, they completely lose it & start doing anything possible to grab the attention of the public again. It's like one day all they have to do is smile and flip their hair and heads turn. Suddenly it stops and they are completely shocked I imagine. It would be hard to accept that after being on top because of nothing more than your looks. I do feel sad when I see them acting so frantically. Link to comment

DylanNotorious Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 Oh I think it's tragic when they inject botox and all that other crap into their aging faces. Look at Courtney Cox! She looks like the joker out of batman. Yuck! Hollywood should be made to age gracefully! Or at the very least pick a decent plastic surgeon! Link to comment

The fact that Hollywood places so much emphasis on oozing sex, that makes the celebrities go nutty. And who isn't good looking in Hollywood today? Ah. Even Adele, who's got weight issues, has a pretty face! Link to comment

meoww Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 Wow, sounds like sour grapes of bitter single women. she's right though--some people are just weird like that. It's really true that superficial people end up being miserable a lot of the time. Furthermore, they really don't even know what they're missing in life. Don't start on how I must be an ugly hag either--because I'm not lol Link to comment
Lonewing Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 BS! Look at Hollywood stars! Look at Jen Aniston and Brad Pitt! She's got beauty, she's got personality and she got cheated on! Look at Sandra Bullock and her ex! He cheated on her! Come on now! Irregardless of how beautiful she is, some men will always be cheaters! ...Brad Pitt hooked up with Angelina Jolie, quite simply the hottest dreamboat to ever become famous by being a video game. Sandra Bullock does not have that Substance which I call forth. This Substance is not Personality or Beauty. The easiest way I can say this is, what use is a thoroughbred sports car if it has a 100HP engine under the hood that barely makes it out of second gear? You would think that men are not looking for romance or interested in fireworks. Truth be told, we get bored. When we discover that the really hot cute thing has insecurity issues once it's just us two alone at night, or is uncomfortable with things which are basic staples within our minds, or drags home the same crap night in and night out, well, men get bored too... When I mean Substance, I mean those things a woman does that keeps a man attracted to her and only her - those things that keep him excited about being with her. Those things which, in essence, involve ideas which even if dressed are mentally naked at best. What I'm getting at is that there are those things which a woman can do which will keep a man loyal to her. If she does not do those things, he'll wander and go stray. Granted, we're only looking at the "what a woman is to a man" side of the coin; "What the man is to the woman" is a different blog/thread topic altogether. Sandra Bullock was running with the sort of man who's used to being the center of his universe. And in his universe, he sees something shiny an dhe goes for it, regardless of wha the already has...

Lonewing Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 I'd say that while there's some common things (lookswise) guys find "attractive" there's a pretty broad spectrum between their ideals of "beautiful." Some guys find the "girl next door" freshness breathtaking - others like a more exotic look when they're thinking of outer beauty. "Attractive" in appearance is usually more dependent on a balance of the features than any one "look," but just like girls, guys are going to have a preference when deciding they're strongly attracted. Looks help - but charisma, that indefinable characteristic, matters a lot more in the long run. There are plenty of guys and girls who might not draw a second glance in a picture - but in person, they can wow you. National Geographic had a coverpage article on this subject back around the late 90s or so, on Beauty. Within that article there was a discussion about a project which asked peopel to identify that which they found beautiful, and from those results they made a computer model of what universal "perfect" beauty might look like. Conclusion of his article based upon a wide body of research? Beauty is not near as Subjective as we might like to suggest... It's a phenomonal article on the subject, overall... this is one subject where you have to remove everything you "know," - those things you've been taught all along about beauty and social appreciation - and approach from a blank slate frame of mind. The reason we learn to appreciate 'lesser' forms of beauty is simple: the ultimate forms are extremely rare, and quite often "put us in our place, emotionally." In other words, they break us down, into little pieces, and we are never that Boy again. From there emerges the guy who does appreciate people based upon intellect based substance, or the guy who appreciates people pased upon the skin and skin alone - and trashes the rest as he pleases. Looks help - but charisma, that indefinable characteristic, matters a lot more in the long run. There are plenty of guys and girls who might not draw a second glance in a picture - but in person, they can wow you. Charisma and the long run is just tredding water for these types like Jesse James. It's a mean that gives life, but it's bland and unsatisfying. Hence, he jumps when he finds his next toy - aka his next chance that he WILL get that "dreamboat" who IS everything he's looking for. And in this day and age, we're taught to accept NOTHING but the best...right??? What does that do for all of us who AREN'T the best??? And I ask this based upon an objective scale by which we can all be measured, becasue yes, we can all be measured on this scale, and we are, and on average, we all don't measure up to the "Best." We'll see how things go. In some ways, we were better off 50-75 years ago when there was a bit of a cap on the social scene due to the "financial imprisonment" of women. today we now have both sexes competing hard and fast not jsut withthemselves but with their opposites to outdo each other. I'll say it: our culture will not last in the long run. I give it 100 more years, tops, before the whole planet swings back to an older time again. It's happened far too many times in history already Link to comment
Lonewing Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 I don't watch interviews! I just base her off her movie roles and she's great in them! Ah! Watch her as a director in director cuts. Her appeareance in movies, in movie roles, her charms, her words, her actions - it's all an act... Link to comment
Atrium Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 Watch her as a director in director cuts. Her appeareance in movies, in movie roles, her charms, her words, her actions - it's all an act... It's all the same act too. She's either been typecast or has no diversity as an actor. Link to comment

But then again, the men that approach you are also first doing it for looks, I would guess. We all go for looks at first sight! I'm sorry! She's insecure because she doesn't have many friends or keep friends very long. But she doesn't realize this because she's a biatch. But she doesn't realize she's being a biatch becasue she knows she can get anything she wants and she's used to getting it.I will say it seems that the cuter a girl is, the less like it is that she's a "nice" girl deep inside. Once you find out how she really feels abotu others...wow, new low to the universe... Link to comment

Fudgie Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 I've seen a lot of girls who are very popular at my school (with guys and girls!) who aren't up to snuff physically at all. But they are VERY kind, very funny, interesting and go-getters! No wonder that they are popular. People just enjoy being around them. I just take it as further proof that looks aren't everything.
