My last girl friend was a handful. Bitchy, moody, difficult and a poor conversationist. I was with her for two years. Why? Because she was so sexy and beautiful. I allowed her to be bitchy because she was just so stunning. I gave her a pass on her poor personality because of her extreme beauty.


Can you relate? Would you give someone an allowance because of their beauty?

Not for anything more than short term. I’d be annoyed. Especially if they were a poor conversationalist. That would be a deal breaker for me.

I did when I was a 20 something idiot. Not anymore. A great azz isn't enough for more than a night or two.

An allowance? Like pay for sex?

I might tolerate a little more than usual from someone who is stunningly beautiful, but that beauty doesn't count for much unless it's also lavished on me sexually! However, a difficult personality is something I will eventually tire of, so I couldn't imagine a long term relationship sustained only by beauty. Short term? Sure, why not!

I looked for the video of Dimitri Martin (comedian) who likes to use visual aids. He has a graph of how long he's willing to listen to a girl talk about cats, depending on how cute she is.

Couldn't find it. :-/ But yeah.

I heard somebody on a radio show observe that men tend to allow "hotness" to make up for character defects. A graph of hotness and ability to be tolerated definitely comes to mind, but the effect would drop off the longer the relationship goes on. You could also graph a man's maturity and how susceptible he is to the hotness effect.

Reminds me of that old saying...

“No matter how hot she is, someone somewhere is tired of her bull****.”

I have done this in the past and I see no problem with it. I put up with BS from more attractive women that I’d never tolerate from average and below looking women. It works this way in real life, the more irreplaceable you are the more people will put up with from you.

Can’t relate to that mindset, but I’m female.
