Why are us guys so vain to looks? By this I mean we highly rely on the looks of a woman if we are gonna consider dating or hitting on her. I had neighbor friends who were girls and not the prettiest but getting to know them - they were nice. But as an adult, yeah, I guess I'm fixated on looks a lot and if I don't get an initial attraction by looks I don't bother. Maybe it isn't genetic mind programming because you can consciously change this attitude.
Ego. Women do it too. I know women who wouldn't consider a guy who wasn't hot, built, etc. They may look great arm in arm at parties, but then they go home and fight like cats and dogs. Two huge egos are too much.
Women are also vain and shallow when it comes to looks. Over 90% of the women here on this forum said they would not date my friend here. So over 90% of the female populaton here on city-data are shallow as hell.
HAHA, god for the 1,756,397th time, it's NOT shallow to care about how someone looks! It's shallow ONLY to care about their looks. It's NATURAL to want to date people you are physically attracted to. Without that physical attraction, there is no spark. END OF ARGUMENT. Looks begin a relationship, then personality and intelligent and overall compatibility keep it going strong, or doom it.
Ok... sex, dating, marriage - a lot driven by looks. Guess that's why we spend so much on clothes, makeup, plastic surguries, diets, a vain car, & etc...
Guess it's too common! But an obssession with looks - maybe that's why some people are too often single!

I have to agree 100%.
Both men and women value physical attractiveness....men generally more so but then women have other criteria (success, wealth etc.) that gets valued more than by men.
<shrug> As you get a older, physical attractiveness is even more correlated to health due to fitness and this becomes more and more important.

This pic of your friend would turn off 100% of the women I know. There is nothing shallow about wanting to date someone that does NOT appear to be a pig.

Had to rant. Ok, - you rant now!
Don't worry, the women you encounter feel the same way about you, maybe even a bit frightened.
Men are wired that way, and how you were raised by your parents is also a factor. If your parents, particularly your father thinks that a woman's good looks are all that matters, then likely you will feel the same way. JonanthanLB is one such example.
But in my family, my parents downplayed the value of a person's good looks and instead placed a high priority on being smart and having a good education. Even though my mom was very beautiful when she was younger, my stepdad loved her for her mind. My stepdad went to Harvard. My uncle was a brilliant mathematician, my grandfather was revered by his friends for his intelligence and was a career diplomat for Taiwan. So my sisters and I prefer smart men over guys that look hot. My parents would be very disappointed in us if we brought home handsome men that were lacking in the smarts department.
