...or he treats her better than anyone else she has met so far. Sometimes people who are not considered to be good-looking by this society's standards learn to compensate.

As you get older, you start to find other qualities more attractive than just appearance....at least I do.

Oh wow. Love this pic. She looks so happy, and isn't that the point? Give me "sexy ugly" any day.

I've heard this often, usually by people that I consider shallow. (You know club going d-bag guy). I'm quite average in the looks department, and have dated some women considered very attractive. Don't underestimate personality, money or sometimes the neanderthal effect (One gal was interested after she saw me in a hockey fight).

' Why do most people comment on a couple when they think one person is better looking then the other??
I hear this all the time especially from women,they see a couple and they think one is better looking then the other and say he or she can do better...

Why is it all about looks??'

REPLY: In America, the Human Body is worshipped and idolized . Theres little or no consideration given to the persons inner character/personality ; the Mass Media has force-fed us with 'body profiling' to the point that THIS is what makes a Man or a Woman have worth....if you meet the profile . The Culture is pretty superficial isnt it ?

Just because that person isnt with the most attractive person in the world does it mean if he or she got someobdy better looking it will automatically be a better partner or person?? Or maybe that perosn has different tastse then you and actually finds that person attractive..

Its like people have a mental chart in their heads of peoples value looks wise and that each persons goal should be to get people on their level looks wise and not settle for any\thing less..
People comment because of the oddity of it. Its the same thing as seeing Madonna drive herself up to the red carpet in a 1982 Datsun. Or seeing Tiger Woods pushing a shopping cart filled with cup-o-noodles, cigarettes and PBT in WalMart.

My boyfriend may not have a six pack, which won't impress me if he does have one but he's as sweet as he can be. If you don't have the confidence to have a backbone, you mind as be by yourself.
I dont know what this has to do with my post this is something im pondering that has nothing to do with my current state...

And who said i want a shallow girl?? The bottom line is all men or women have to be somewhat physically atracted to you to have a chance so i guess were all shallow in that case
