Meh is also an informal declaration that expresses a lack of interest or enthusiasm of something that is uninspiring or unexceptional my dear.

I know plenty of gals who find personality matters more than looks yet they only find a very very few guys with worthwhile personalities.

Egh it's not really 'so clearly what she says and what she does are two different things' unless you know that she refused unattractive/average guys who had really worthwhile personalities she liked.
She only dates guys that look a certain way. Clearly, she doesn't care about their personalities. So she's lying when she speaks. It's pretty obvious.

Same with men, there are men out there who only care about hot women... just because some man I know only dates hot blondes doesn't mean all men think just like him. People are different in what they find attractive in a potential mate. But I am saying overall, looks aren't as important as some guys here think.

I think women are more critical about looks overall (in both themselves and men), but that doesn't mean it's as big a factor. I know I've cited it before, but there was an OK Cupid where women said 80% of the men were below average on looks... but they were messaging them anyway. So logically it's not always about looks. Men said more women were good looking, but most of the messages men sent were only to the best looking women.

I can't find the actual survey now (and I need to cook dinner). But here is a blog post about it and why men really shouldn't worry so much about their looks.

Your Looks and Your Inbox « OkTrends





These two graphs are actually pretty similar. While the sampled females do rate the majority of men as below average, the majority of messages sent by females were to the most attractive males available in the sample.

Spoiler alert(!), both genders went for the most attractive members of the opposite sex. The difference is that while men seem to have an even distribution of what constitutes attractive, women have some sort of unrealistic expectations.

If you don't believe me, create a profile with a very good looking guy. The response rate was almost 100% and just about all of the women gave out their numbers.

Yes, some men are butt men and some are boobs men. But ALL men are face men. Just like all women are face and height women.

I don't understand why women here deny the truth so much when it's as plain as day.

Egh I'm doubting you read the study as the message sending was initial messages so thanking guys for their original message isn't possible as there was no initial message. The study is divided into message sending with gals having 'healthier' rates and message responses.

Your research seemingly has one sample and I doubt your research shows that they didn't message other guys they considered unattractive just that they didn't message that particular profile you put up.

thanks for the translation, it's better understood as you have articulated.

Not it doesn't clearly mean she doesn't care about their personality. A guy can only date blondes that doesn't necessarily mean he doesn't care about their personality.

Perhaps you're thinking in extremes that if she cares about personality she'd date guys she finds unattractive/average. Are you under the notion that there can't be a guy who looks a certain way with a personality she likes.

It's also much better used in an actual verbal conversation but is not as effective in a written one.

They're not pretty similar according to the study the graphs are based. 2/3's of guys send messages to 1/3 of the most attractive gals and similar cannot be said for gals as they have 'healthier' message sending.
