Here's what I wonder: Is it the same 80% for most survey responses? As many people have mentioned, women seem to have more diverse tastes in men, generally, than vice-versa.

I've already addressed this earlier. Unless, of course, you are suggesting women would pursue men they don't even find remotely physically attractive (which is absolutely wrong), then there's simply nothing more to say. Refer to the second page if you want to see my response to that objection.

I have. Other people I know have. I didn't fine the guy I'm with attractive when I decided to go out with him, but boy am I glad I overlooked that.

It seems you are the exception to everything. Fine. Will you at least not cede that the vast majority of women will not pursue a man they don't find physically attractive? If you won't, then you're clearly trying to push some kind of agenda as even the women on here will admit if they aren't attracted to a man physically he can never be anything more than a friend. You and the people you know may just be a few data points that doesn't diminish much from the overall trend.

Actually, I've known a BUNCH of women who became interested in men that they didn't originally find physically attractive once they got to know them. It's been discussed on this forum many times and you'd be ridiculous not to acknowledge it.

Perhaps because you're a guy (and this doesn't necessarily happen with men, if a woman is hot she's hot, but if she's not, she's basically invisible forever) you may not understand this.

I believe that is true as well. I said there was two assumptions that needs to be true before OP conclusion is true.

1. OkCupid is a perfect microcosm of the real world.
2. Physical Attraction is not influenced by personality.

1 was proven to be untrue, but I don't think 2 is true either. A women who is in love with a man will rate him as much more physically attractive than if she was not in love at all. Love blinds us.

Well at least you got that right. Every female she knows is also a perfect 10 and the exception to every rule. They all date very unattractive men that make little money and are 5'2..

But they have big hearts which is all a man apparently needs lol.

I am a guy, and I am not like that. If a woman is nasty, I will percieve here as less attractive, and if she is very nice I will percieve her as more attractive.

But I bet the effect on men is smaller than women. If I don't percieve her as physically attractive in the first place, then I won't change my mind.

Some I do find hot after i get to know her . Then again there are some very homely I feel bad for that shop where i work . It must suck to be born a girl and look like a guy . Then again i have got to know this one gitl that i did like and i cant date because i see her as a little sister.

I do know i will become more attractive once i get out of retail and into a better job.

I think most woman get desperate as they get older like into there mid/late 30s. I see it all the time a average to above average girl will be married to a guy that looks like Pete Sampras with down syndrome.
