Are you attracted to people through their looks FIRST?

Post Reply New Topic

I was wondering if you were attracted to people through their looks FIRST.

I am attracted to women only,but I notice when guys take the time to care for themselves,too.It makes them (girls and boys) look attractive,confident,and like they care.

I am NOT saying that I pay attention to PRETTY people ONLY. I mean,I could care less about your looks if I love you(romatically or friendship-wise),but when someone takes care of themselves,I find that attrractive.

BUT,I don't like it when people,say,wear too much make-up,prefume,hair-spray,etc.


What about you?

yup

Not really but i am picky on not wanting very short haired or over sized - but really that's not a starting point to me i like to get to know the person first - i find people that wear too much make-up - and feel there need to take the time for that, people that in the future probably might go through plastic surgery - and wear too much makeup i mean as an everyday thing not a one off thing kinda do, so i guess it's a turn off for me

Admittingly, I consider looks an important factor in a relationship, but I am not sure which characteristic I look for first.

yes.

Looks don't matter to me in a relationship or friendship. If someone has a nice personality, they are beautiful.

Love and physical attraction are two very different things to me. this is not to say that one doesn't ever influece the other, but I am quite capable of keeping the two very seperate.

This may sound really strange, but my first point of attraction to a person (When talking about purely physical attraction) is based on their *voice*, not their looks.

Then of course...if the guy is a jerk he will cease to be attractive at all...

Generally personality is what I look at. However I can't help it if the girl has a nice set of eyes and happens to wear glasses >.> (I like the nerdy looking ladies >.>)

Yes, and I can't imagine anyone who doesn't take it first.

Depends. If I see a stunning looking woman, of course, the looks will impress before I get to know her. However, getting to know an average looking girl and discovering that she has a beautiful sould may make her look better too.

I can give you an example of today's "" who doesn't take it at first "" as the internet is here allot of people chat talk on a phone & get very interested in each other is a example of how the looks are not important to people... more of a male thing I would say as males tend to have a picture unlike females for the most reason dif between it is really people not been able to pull apart lust from love...

yes.

you see people before you see their personality...unless you meet them online.

I think the two things go together - personality and looks.

Admittedly it takes longer to understand someone's character than it does to study their physical form, but I'd never judge someone solely on looks. It's too risky. In fact, in my experience I've found that really good looking people are often manipulative and "spoilt", so I'm always slightly cynical if a gorgeous girl takes a liking to me! They normally want something for themselves, and themselves only...

Slow burning relationships which stem from friendships have far more chance of succeeding, I believe. Though I'm not really the best person to comment at the moment, having managed to mess up quite a few decent chances. Do as I say, not as I do!

I could compare it to a car, but I'll spare you!

If I happen to see her first, YEP! That is just the way it is. But the make/break comes with attitude and intelligence. Heck, I have met some plain people I would be HAPPY to call my wife! On the other hand, I have met some pretty people, even KNOCKOUTS, where I figure *****NO WAY*****!

Alot of people basse their selection of partners on physical characteristics which explains the 52% divorce in the US.
