But if you don't have the personality - it doesn't really matter if you are able to attract people initially if they are going to drop you to the curb once you open your mouth. I think they are equally important and inseparable. They both go into who a person is as a total package.

I am still curious about how I got to be a senior, and whether it means I get discount admission to... something. Air force one, perhaps?

But keep reaching.

Again, the rates of overweight and obesity have increased the same for men and women. It's a national problem, not a woman problem.
Eh, 175 is a bit small at 6'1 though.


However,

Most guys that are shorter than me look sharp at 150-160 if they are merely lean.

here is the question that we haven't been able to answer...if you meet a woman/man who meets most if not all of your needs outside of looks, but the idea of having sex with him/her is on the level of watching paint dry, are you than considered shallow?

Nobody's perfect.
I feel like ppl forget this.
Women do. It looks like every woman is looking for Mr. Perfect. Though, to clarify, Mr. Perfect is Mr. And. That is, he's good looking AND he has a good job AND he's talkative AND he actually gives a damn about you and wants to marry you.

I bet you could do a little social experiment and ask women what they're looking for with actual references (like, pictures to show an attractiveness level), combined with income they want him to have, and then multiply all the statistics, and you'd find that like 90% of all upper-middle class to upper class women between the ages of 20-30, you know yuppies types, want and actually expect to get a man that represents only like 2% of the population.

No because you are not attracted to them as a whole

I have been attracted to guys before because of their personality alone, I'm the kind of person who to some degree doesn't think looks are that important.

Wait, we are supposed to be attracted to more than 2% of the population? That's nuts.

175 is actually far from heavy for someone 5'10".

It is what it is. I don't think it really matters. You shouldn't be with someone you don't want to sleep with for whatever reason. While I do think it's fairly shallow to date someone who you can't stand simply because they are hot - at the end of the day - would that person really be happy with a wonderful person who wasn't as hot? Probably not. So what does it really matter?

If you don't have muscle you WILL have a slightly jiggly stomach and a bit of a round face.
