Maybe if she's in middle school or high school or on a Disney channel teen-bopper sitcom... What mature adult really gives a hoot what others think about who they date? I sure don't. And what mature adult has friends that care (unless they think their friend will get hurt).

you speak the truth... but even among adults you have lots of busy bodies.

Men, have you been in a romantic relationship with a woman that was wrong but you stuck around because she was so beautiful or sexy?

Women: Do you think there are many of you who stick with the wrong man because he is so handsome, masculine and sexy?

Which gender is more guilty of hooking up with someone wrong for them due to physical attraction?
Oh sure. It's silly when I look back and think of how I let 'Mini-me' handle my choices with women. I am supposedly mature now, but it's even sillier when occasionally I still let a shallow hottie distract me. So I guess I will always be biologically male, [lol] which is very enjoyable, thanks to intelligent mature women. But I do know plenty of grown men who seem to have only one objective in life; to gain the attention and eventual copulation with women. And usually they cast all logic and reason aside to achive this. Soon the beauty realizes her advantage and exploits it over time, leaving the gullible goof groveling in grief. [women have suffered this way too].

Beautiful or ugly .divorce cost the same.
A woman that knows she is popular in appearance usually will abuse it, and in frustration both from guys getting tired of it and news traveling fast, she is reduced to finding any thing that will take her.
But unless she changes her attitude, that won't last either. Watched it over and over.
A woman that realizes she will look like her mother some day , usually put's more effort into her personality, knowing that is what is going to sustain a relationship in the long run. These are very rare , and valuable.
Finding a lasting relationship among the wealthy is doubily hard.
Guys want money to attract ,
women looking for money to take.
Some use pregnancy to entrap ,but for these they simply become a baby factory that state picks up the tab.
Thus the liberals reasoning for abortion rather than responsibility. So both baby factory and abortion are both out of hand.
Looking for a lasting relationship with a beautiful woman takes some one that knows the meaning of commitment and honesty , honestly thinking as well, practical.
Beauty includes personality .
If it's just physical beauty and sex a man wants , one can get that from a Real Doll . It's cheaper.
Want companionship get a dog.
Most of my friends are not swayed by looks , skittish of con artists.
I don't hate any one ,but there are only few in this world I trust.

Speaking for myself. I happen to think the men I have been involved with were sexy or handsome to me. I've never been involved with anyone who was truly wrong for me. Hell, my ex-husband and I get along pretty well and are fairly compatible. It's never really been a compatibility issue for me, as far as things not working out. The circumstances were just not ideal.

I would and could not get involved with a man who was just something nice to ogle. I have passed up dozens of traditionally good-looking men when I was in the dating scene because there was no emotional and intellectual compatibility. Yes, physical attraction is important, but it's the intellectual and emotional connection that sustains the relationship. If there is little in the way of intellectual compatibility, I lose interest extremely quickly. Practically instantly.

Women do this every day.

The difference is, for women the attraction is not usually based on looks (or money, or status).

But every woman I know has had at least one relationship that she stayed in for too long, because of sexual attraction Maybe he had a great peen, or was good in bed, or smelled biochemically compatible, or had just the right wry smile....

The crap men and women are willing to put up with for a pretty/handsome face is hilarious when you think about it.

I'm reading this scenario and I can't help but LOL!!!.

To be honest, I can't really say which sex is more guilty. My experience seems to point to the idea that relationships are where looks matter the least. Other areas of life are where looks matter just a little more. Job search and shopping and other general social activities are where looks seem to matter more.

I do admit, I would find myself a little weak when it comes to a woman who wanted to be with me. I'm sure physical attraction plays a factor in this.

I've never done this, but I know men who have, and it is frustrating. I have seen close friends of mine put up with horrendous abuse, including theft and physical violence, from women just because they were so "hot." Frankly, I think it makes them look pathetic.
Pathetic, in the lowest form possible.

Being envied by friends is not a good reason to be with someone. A person should want to be with someone because that person wants to be with that person. It is not good to use someone for as a tool for social status.

If this really is the case, then it is no wonder these guys have trouble with women.

It's really sad.
