Would you take the time to get to know a someone if you thought they were unattractive?

Brief story: A friend of mine was dating a nice girl. A friend of his girlfriend said she also wanted a nice boyfriend. Being a good friend and knowing I'm a great guy, he suggested me. She seemed interested. He then showed her a few pictures I had posted online (nothing weird or freaky)... And I never heard from her.

Are all people like this? Or would you get to know somoene before you decide to move on?

    I don't think she would be so shallow as to look at your pictures and decide not to go out with you. If she did, she wouldn't be worth your time anyway and you should be thankful you never went out with her.

    As far as the overall question, are you talking about societies standards of what is unattractive or my own personal characteristics as to what I find unattractive? I think you are talking about me personally, so I'll answer that way. I would definetely not write someone off based on whether I thought they were attractive or not. I know, for me personally, that some of the most unattractive people that I've been introduced to have amazing personalities (often much better than those of good-looking people). Their personality makes them much more attractive.

    Simply because of this reason, I would not write someone off if I thought they were unattractive. I would atleast give them the chance. Otherwise, I may avoid meeting some really nice and down-to-earth individuals. Looks are important, but they are far from everything. When it comes to relationships, I want someone who would make me happy, make me laugh, do little things... These personality traits are much more meaningful than their looks. You could date the most beautiful person in the world and be completely miserable.

    P.S. From what I know of you from Yahoo! Answers (hahaha I know, that sounds lame), you seem like a great guy. I wouldn't sweat it. :)

    you recognize that's an fairly good question.. and the respond on your question is this maximum of Society believes that unattractive ladies have a low self-well worth and that they cant get a severe high quality guy, so the dip-s%$% men say hiya right it quite is a woman that seems rather desperate, and that i will cope together with her besides i want because of the fact she thinks that she cant get all people. And extremely certainly the reality of the difficulty is, valuable you could. they are asserting that there is somebody available for each individual. so in case you think of that your unattractive, save you head up severe. someplace somebody available'll ultimately discover you. and you would be happy. granted prince eye-catching will possibly no longer come alongside the following day, yet he will take place. in basic terms save finding and dont provide up

    Wow! Everyone deserves a chance, that's why we date. On dates, we find out if we are alike and if we have good conversation. A long time down the road, looks will fade. A long time down the road, personality will still be there. Personally, I'm a girl that goes for the personality match. Who can make me laugh? Who do I feel comfortable talking to? Can I truely be open?

    Yes, some people are like this. Just don't contradict yourself by judging a girl by the size of her breasts or her bum. I trust that you wouldn't though.

    Definitely. More so, if we had something in common. I would never be interested in a girl just because she is hot, its some quality of her that I should be attracted to but thats just my way of thinking. We can't control the way we look, its something we're all born with but we can control the kind of person we are to a certain extent and thats what we should be liked for and like others for. Nothing in this world is attractive or unattractive, its our animal instinct and mating habits that define who we find attractive or unattractive.

    Emigirl is right, don't bother yourself with that girl. You deserve a girl who likes you for the person you are and not just your looks. Just be patient and eventually you'll meet the right girl, not every girl is like that.

    I think you should defiantly get to know someone before you judge them on looks. There have been a few guys that I have found interesting, but not attractive, and they seem to be the nicest guys and so funny. You really shouldn't judge a book by its cover.

    Maybe your lucky, because to me a person who judges a person just by a picture isn't worth my time, your a nice guy and you will find someone one day who will be just as kind to you as you are to them,

    Don't pay to much mind to ignorant people OK

    As they love is blind and as such whats unattractive to one may be the roller coster of anothers life that is they may be unattractive at face value but great at heart value.

    When you meet people that kind of way unless you're stunningly handsome, you shouldn't really expect much success. It is far easier to meet people face-to-face and take time to get to know someone including looks and personality.

  • 1 decade ago

    people can be like this. Yes, get to know someone before you decide to move on so you get to know more about that special someone....
