I think that any time a girl has ever liked me is because she thought I was cute. I've also noticed that little changes in my looks have led to increased or decreased responsiveness from girls.

Still, there are some people here who think that looks don't matter much if you're a guy.

What has been your personal experience with how your physical attractiveness has affected your dating options?

It hasn't helped me at all in my whole life.

Which is not to say that I think I'm ugly. Very few people are all that ugly, but that I'm below the level that women find attractive.

So, theoretically, I could be deformed or maybe even a dwarf and I could have done just as well. Maybe. Or I could argue in that situation, my looks would be a big negative, where currently, they are just like a blank slate/water level. I dunno.

All I know is that they haven't helped me at all.

If you are not that good looking but have cool inner qualities you need a good looking wing-man. Seriously.

Good cologne helps and a clean, presentable vehicle. Decent clothes... Well, you know.

Positively, I'd assume.

I know I'm attractive, and my looks are what get me noticed first, and then my awesomeness is fully realized. I know I have a lot of options, and with those I consider of high quality.

I dunno. I'm getting more and more weathered looking every year. I trim my nails on bricks. I'm always scratched up. I can't imagine trying to get pretty to meet women, so I suspect it might hurt

Mostly negatively in the past several years. Before that, it was more of a positive.

Sometimes positively here too. But as I got older, looks brought problems with shallow women only appreciating looks and nothing about who I am actually. Yeah, I know many guys couldnt care less. But maybe I am wired wrong. Or right, depending on how similar your perspective is.
