I am not really attracted to someone until I get to know their personality. That is when the sparks or explosions of attraction happen for me. At that point that person becomes the most amzing thing in the world and no one else exists. Flaws turn in to cute quirks and I can see nothing but the perfection hidden behind any supposed physical flaw.

I really feel meeting people is like playing one of those games when you got to pick a gift on a table full of gifts. You dont really know the amzing stuff that could be inside until you open it. Like physical appearance.. the wrapping is just a distraction that could lur you in to choosing the wrong gift.

The reasoning may come from insecurity, IMO, if one has ever had an s/o who's highly attractive to other women it can be exhausting...especially if the guy loves ALL women and acknowledges or encourages the attention.

Look at all the panty-throwing going London Cowboys way... I personally would have to really work on my confidence level to be the gf of someone like him and say: "yeah, go out to the pub with your mates and have a great time..." And that's no reflection on his character, I'm not saying he's a cheater, just geeeeez...So many opportunities it might start to mess with a girl's head after awhile.
LondonCowboy seems true to himself and a gentleman who isn't just one for the sole purpose of attracting women. He'd probably wouldn't cheat on you, he seems like he has true character. I'd have no doubt if he dated someone less attractive than he was he'd do nothing but right by them. Guess that is why he is beloved on CD.

Now myself. I'm a ahole and proud of it and true to myself. While most probably don't like me, I think I'm well respected (which I value far more than being liked) because I'm true to myself.

Again, you make no sense since we are all unique. There is no such thing as most of us taking an interest in any person.

We even have one poster who thinks he is good looking enough to be a model. Says it as if it is fact. the only people who talk that way are sitting on their 300lb behind pretending to be something they are not online. What in the world???? I guess we have a bunch of Jr Highers here or something. Not adults who actually date somewhat like adults. Again, this is not Junior High School. We don't take measuring sticks and apply it to some poll we've taken to ensure the person we date is considered "attractive by others" because it doesn't matter. It matters what we think. In Junior HIgh, those things mattered, sure...
No you don't make any sense with the above

How do you even justify her asking a perfectly normal and curious question and only asking for opinions/experiences as her being superficial and immature and then ramble on with all ^^^^ bollox?

But either way you lost me the last time I asked a question on another thread when you said that people that socialise in bars and have a few drinks are " mentally ill " sooooooooo

I apologise if I have missed something and i am as silly as I've always feared ( as a 6th grader ) but can't for the life of me see how your posts join up with mine and what the OP is talking about so I'll just respectfully disagree and leave it at that.

Have a lovely evening Nancy

I'm just left speechless at that except to say thank you mate

And end of the day you're right and very much your own man and true to yourself...... Loved or loathed NO ONE can ever take that away from you diss and many would kill for that trait

Definitely an acquired taste. I didn't think much of him early on, but I acquired a hankerin'.

My theory: It's the accent.

If Benedict Cumberbatch were from Michigan, hardly anyone would care.

Agreed, he knows what I meant

And that's exactly why I still answer you, even when you're at me. You're honest, without pretense of buzzwords and manspeak/mansplain. That counts for something!

I mean, I love a British accent. I can't help it. But I think he looks... unique? I like his bone structure.

Agree I feel the same way about Tom Hiddleston.
