Oh my, I hope it's not true, because if it is, I must be one of God's ugliest creations!

Ok, I said "one of" and not "the", because I do enjoy interior design, some make up and books...

Actually, that statement implies that all women who are unattractive are aware of the fact they are unattractive. I think we all know someone who didn't get the memo about their looks. Think about it, if you're a parent sooner or later you'll have to come to the realization that your child was not blessed in the looks department. So what do you do? You buy him/her all the latest clothes and gadgets so that they will not made fun of at school. After all, I don't care how unattractive you are, in H.S. most are superficial and kids are judged mostly on what they have not what they look like. So this person who has all the friends (none of whom has told her she's unattractive because they want to borrow her new Manolos and want to ride in her new car), is basically being told that her worth is connected to what she has. Making her just as superficial as anyone else, and she'll take that attitude with her well into her 20's.

I tend to runnnnnnn fastttt the other way when I see the model types because i know most of them are basically beautiful vessels (statues), and nothing more. Ive always been attracted to the cute girl next door type (the plain jane if you will), who is kind, warm hearted, down to earth and has alot of love inside her heart to give. To me those kinds of women are the true treasures.

the opportunity is there, but you can be a jerk and be ugly too.

I would have to say no the majority of attractive women are not more superficial than anyone else.

Since we're talking generalizations here, in my experience it's easy to spot superficial women, they tend to wear much more make-up than down-to-earth women. I can almost guarantee that if you find a woman who runs out to the store without worrying about putting on make-up. Then you've just found a woman who is not superficial about her own looks or status and is far less likely to be superficial about other people's looks or status.

Of course if you're only meeting up with these women at work or bars/clubs i.e. places people want to look their best because they know they might meet someone, then you'll never know. Even a down-to-earth woman is going to doll herself up when she's going out on the town or being presentable at work.

I used to work at a Victoria's Secret. I met some of the nicest ladies in my life and most were no less than 9 out of 10's.

I know someone is going to say it, so I'll put it out there now: I know attractive means different things to different people. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.whew.


What has been you experiences?

I'd think it depends on how the person sees herself-- less about being materialistic than about thinking her looks can get her anything/anyone she wants, with no effort or contribution on her part

That's because they were working they had to be nice. Or they would be fired.

Not all. Some women are very low maintenance - such as myself. Not a jewelry girl or a spa type (drives me nuts). However, I do have a rather expensive hobby - riding horses.

Many men mistake confidence/assertiveness for vanity - when in fact it has nothing to do with looks. I have been accused of being vain - but really it is just confidence as well as being comfortable in my own skin.

Absolutely not. You cannot judge a persons character by how they appear on the outside. I think a lot of unattractive women would like people to believe the attractive women are more superficial (and more intellectually challenged) than unattractive women but I dont think so.
