I care about attraction. I dated a guy who was average at best in the looks department, but oh boy...the chemistry was out of this world and the more I got to know him and the more I was around him the most attractive to me he became.

In general I think women care less about looks than men. I actually prefer an average looking guy. I stay away from those Abercrombie types. Too arrogant.

I happen to think that I am 'cute/average' and once I did lower my standards last year and gave an ugly guy a chance, a fat one at that, and he acted as if he was too good for me.
Perhaps her picked up on YOUR attitude?


OP, I don't think that it's wrong to not date someone who we find unattractive. I do think the problems begin when looks are the ONLY thing that we look for.

I don't like the choices for the poll so I didn't pick either one, too limited....anyways, I have never met a woman nor a man that didn't care at all about someone else's looks. The only women I can imagine would feel this way are very desperate for a man in their lives, would do anything to have one, etc. Personally, I don't find it flattering when all the male care about is the woman looks and also don't find it flattering when they say "Oh, I don't care how the woman looks, I'll take anything." Neither is a compliment to her.

No, he was the one who had the attitude. He looked like Biggie Smalls. he laid some ground rules and told me not to ever ask him for anything, not for a ride or some money. I never implied that I needed anything from him. He just told me that out of nowhere. After that I never answered his phone calls and when I saw him, he said 'what's up?" and I acted as if he didn't even exist. I can't stand men who treat women like shyt

1. Didn't lower your standards as much as you thought.
2. Maybe guys put a little more into other things than you think. -- Maybe it's your personality that guys are completely turned off by.

He probably was a jerk.

The thing is, you're sitting around here complaining about how men are so terrible, doing exactly what you hate. You are blaming men for women's sh*tty behavior. No one wants to date a debbie downer, I wouldn't care if you were a 10, the way you talk I wouldn't touch you (or any woman with that thought process) with a 10 foot pole.

I'm sorry if you can't accept how shallow your gender is.

If it helps you sleep at night thinking that way, so be it.

Where did the poster blaming guys for gal's sh*tty behavior?

From my recollection she stated gals care less about looks and talked about how she did something she thinks most guys wouldn't, date someone she saw as less attractive, the result being he treated her like sh*t.
