Can't really compare those two photos. Have him take the same goofy photo as shown by the first one after the transplant and he's not going to get much either.

He does look facially very different in the two pictures. Not because of the hair. The face. Anyone can see it.

That doesn't mean some of us don't love a great head of hair.

But if the argument is that women pretend to be open to dating non-hotties in order to not appear shallow yet in our typical shallow liar fashion, refuse anyone but the best-looking guys, you can't prove it by the amount of very very non-handsome men I see wandering everywhere hand in hand with cute girls. Just an observation.

But thanks for yet another "women are all useless liars and entirely full of it and over-demanding" thread. We needed one, it's been nearly ten minutes.

And this
Yeah. Anybody who claims that looks don't matter to them is either blind or a liar. And really, given my extremely limited experience on those dating sites (My wife and I, for giggles, created profiles on eHarmony one night), aren't you really looking at the picture and then reading up on them? Right?

So before you can have those deep and soulful conversations, before you can plumb their souls, you have to like the cut of their jibs. That means, to widen the pool of potential prospects, you have to take care of yourself. That's why I have little tolerance for people who never exercise, eat poorly, and dress badly (You can dress nicely without spending a mint, by the way) and then complain why no one notices them.

I agree, even in the case I'll mention next. Certainly some people just have bad luck. The person we see now who doesn't seem to care about their appearance might be kind of depressed because when they did try, no one seemed to notice. Same with attitudes. I think we're quick to label someone a whiner and attribute their lack of social success to their whining. That may often be accurate, but sometimes whiners are made, not born.


For emphasis, giving up, even when it seems a tad bit understandable, never helps so I'm not advocating that so much as advocating for considering the possibilities a bit more fully.

Honestly, I don't think his hair looks that great in the second photo (and he looks like a smirking douche) but it is a better photo than the first one.

I saw smirking douche also, but he's posed better, his fairly decent physique is more visible, he's scruffy, and so it's not apples to apples in any case.

Well, it's a numbers thing to be sure. But I know lots of people who have struggled in the looks department but enjoy strong relationships in their lives. Heck, one of my best friends is 4'11 and he married a total hottie. Because Cecil never confused his height with his stature.

4'11" AND named Cecil? That's rough.

THAT's the rub, that men get aggravated about, that many women promote the idea that they are morally superior because they only look for *real* qualities in men, whereas men only want big breasts and a DTF attitude in a woman.

I'm not "paying" anything that some other women said, neither will a lot of women, so I thinks it's best you figure out everyone are individuals. The women who said that may have meant it and shown with their decisions.
