Attraction overrides Looks (for women only good for social proof and a real small amount of sexual arousal) and Logic.
For men (when looking at a woman) looks are waaaaaay more important. But the other way around they aren't. Except for social proof.
Attraction is the way to getting a sexual relationship with a woman.

That's why an ugly guy CAN get a gorgeous women.

I think we can all agree to that. Except for a few trolls around here.

No they don't. The only "guys who are still bickering" are a select few trolls, and misguided anti-DJs that believe you need a single certain quality to get quality women.



Nah, that's not true. Happens all the time. Just look at Lyle Lovett and Julia Roberts. Or Seal and Heidi Klum. Or thousands of other average couples in America that use your "looks are everything" propoganda as toilet paper.
Do we really need to look at Lyle and Seal?... :( Does anyone remember how Angelina hooked up with Billy Bob? Also, David Spade does pretty damn well on the relationship sloppy seconds circuit.

Seriously, Deus said it pretty well. Lyle Lovett never deserved a HB like julia, i would give my right nut for one night with that red beauty
Looks are 50% and personality is 50% IMO of attracting women.

Julia Roberts is ugly. An HB7 at best...
 

Men frequently err by talking too much. They often monopolize conversations, droning on and on about topics that bore women to tears. They think they're impressing the women when, in reality, they're depressing the women.

Yeah, but she probably got bored of the good looking guys without personality that´s why she dated that weird Lyle guy because he was indifferent (?)

in order to get laid...the girl must find you Sexualy Attractive...which is wayyyy different from physical attractiveness...therefor getting laid has absolutely nothing with your physical attractiveness...the only thing you need physical attractiveness is to allow the HB to give you a shot at the approach and discussion.

This has been proven <cough> i learned it in pyschology today <cough>.

so there you have it...plz stop posting in this thread...its done with, you got your answers.

*clap* *clap*, well there you have it folks, you have just proven us wrong. That statement right there just explains away all observations that are in agreement with the fact that looks matter. :down:

This has been proven <cough> i learned it in pyschology today <cough>.
its been proven eh? ok cool, then Im sure youll have no problem providing your source.

so there you have it...plz stop posting in this thread...its done with, you got your answers.
your post is sad, it proved nothing. the debate continues! :rock:

I don't know if you're referring to girl/women over 20, but almost EVERY girl in her teens place "hotness/good looks" at the top of her list. You won't get nowhere with a HOT girl unless you have above average looks, it just doesn't happen. The girl would NEVER let herself be seen with a guy whom her friends, or anybody else for that matter, think is ugly, NEVER EVER. I'm in high school and I see this all the time.
notice he sees this all the time. When I was in high school, I too saw it all the time. Im out of school, I still see hot women with that same shallowness as in high school (they require looks). The fact that we both see it, and we are 2 independant sources pretty much shows that this observation isnt fake or our imagination. its a real and accurate observation.

Now, if its a real observation, and looks dont matter, then why are we observing this observation? If the "looks dont matter" theory were true, this kind of observation would be very very rare. But we are in fact observing it. Thus, the "looks dont matter" isnt holding up well. On the other hand if the "looks do matter" were true, we would expect to see this kind of observation. which we are in fact seeing.

hmmm, lets look at the weight here..looks dont matter or looks do matter? yeah....looks do matter :yes:

3. Again, how does the fact that women have different tastes in what looks good mean that they place little importance on a guy looking good to them? 2 totally different things.

Again, some women like ugly men. Believe it or not, some women are VERY turned on by short, fat, bald men.
again, not making sense. men have variance in taste, but this doesnt mean looks dont mean **** to us. and pointing out some women who like fat men is supposed to explain this is like me pointing out some men like fat women to justify my logic that mens variance in taste means looks dont mean **** to them, which we know looks do mean a lot to us. again, not making any sense. failing to explain yourself.

4. men have different tastes in what women look good, so this means men dont care about the way a woman looks

Well guess what, this is the very argument you have put forth that is supposed to prove looks dont matter to women.


Women are different from men. This explains why we're having such a hard time getting through to you.
oh really? but look at your reply right below this. you point out women appriciate good looking men (just like us guys! how similar!). so which is it? women are different or women are similar to men? you like contridicting yourself dont you!? :kick:

7. So how about you explain the observation that there are lots of women bragging about their BF being hot, lots of women luaghing and giggling when a stud walks by, the observation of women...

Who said anything about women not being able to appreciate a good-looking man? You're on the wrong thread. This is the thread that deals with men requiring good looks to acquire good-looking women. No wonder.
so youre saying women are similar to men in this respect huh!? part of your theory says theyre not. your getting warmer though, lol. :)

That's cool, but this is not anything new. Clear-thinking individuals came to this conclusion 66 pages ago. We got our answers every time someone shut down the now defunct "skip2mylou" with solid proof. He, along with his kool-aid drinking zombies forfeit the discussion every time that one of them responded to shattering evidence with "faggot" or "loser."

Hate to sound melodramatic, but the Light always triumphs over the Dark. ;)
Deus, the problem is that your viewpoint is that of someone more mature than people typically your age.

OK... All I have to say is that National Geographic's "Naked Science" Department reported that men and women are sexually aroused in very different ways. They studied men, specifically on the functions of their brain, and found that arousal in men is almost strictly limited to the part of the brain that deals with the senses, majority of it being the part for sight. However, in women it was discovered that sexual arousal has more to do with the part of the brain that deals with MEMORY. Meaning, things that you do, hence personality.


But fact of the matter is, this is NOT everything. David Deangelo's Double Your Dating E-book says that ALL Women are attracted to:
-Money
-Looks
-Power
-Height (haha lucky me, I'm 6 foot 7 and still very young!)
-Personality

Now, while initially the first three have the biggest influence in the first place, and all but one are out of your immediate control, how it supposedly goes is that as long as you're not completely butt-ugly (the only COMPLETELY uncontrollable aspect of looks) you can always improve yourself in all the others to a point where your "hotness" score increases. In fact, I believe Power Money Looks and Personality all have influence on each other anyways. Your personality influences your sense of style (looks) what job & work ethic you have (money) and what kind of influence you have on others (power).

In return these can help boost your personality to a higher, more masculine level. When you look good, you feel more confident. When you know you have great influence over people, you're naturally more assertive, yet more patient because you know you get what you want. If you're good on funds you are more confident and also more free-spirited because you know you can do what you want.

The truth is, YES, LOOKS DO MATTER, ALOT!!! But they're not THE most important thing, and as long as you don't look like an Afghan hermit or a mongolian priest or something a great personality can get you pretty damn far in this world. The only time looks don't matter is if you're rich and powerful. Case in Point, Jermaine Dupri(or JD), a famous rapper and the producer of the "So So Def" Record Label.

Dude, you totally distorted what I said and what I posted. thats a lame way to rebut someones point.

Deus ex Pianoforte said:
Wait, no no no...your logic is flawed here. The whole root of the debate here is whether you can acquire good-looking women without being good-looking yourself. What YOU are suggesting is that women almost exclusively go after ugly men, and avoid good-looking men. Nobody said that. Obviously there are PLENTY of good-looking women that have good-looking boyfriends. But that's not the issue. You need to focus on proving your and Skip's contention, which is that no good-looking woman would date an average to bad-looking man. However, I have an issue of People from July 12th, 1993 that proves your perspective as flat-out wrong...so there's no point in continuing, other than maybe blind pride and stubbornness.
in your quote of what I said, (which isnt shown here), it is clear that you edited it, and basically put words in my mouth. You basically made it so that the observation I was refering was the observation of a hot guy with a hot girl. No that is not the observation I was refering to in that post of mine. lets get this clear. Although its true that this is one of the things me and EXP saw in H.S. which I still see outside of H.S., he also made a point about the shallowness of women, good looking women wont be caught dead with an ugly guy, they just wont live with themselves. This is specifically what I was I was talking about in the post that you edited in your response, and decided to put words in my mouth. go back to that post, and notice I even use the word "shallowness", its clear that its the "shallowness" that I was talking about, not seeing 2 good looking people together. It is the shallowness of good looking women that gives the looks theory a lot of weight! . Whats the shallowness Im talking about? well heres some examples:

-I knew a girl from HS that was good looking, and she would not date a guy unless he had a 6 pack. she just would not do it, she was so snotty about it. if the guy had no 6 pack, he didnt stand a chance. And your probably wondering how she would find this thing out? well, usually if a guy did have one, he would always find a way to conventiently show it off to her, ie. take your shirt off becuase your hot, or pull the bottom of your shirt up to wipe you face because your hot outside (which exposes the stomach). you know how some guys just have ot show off. If this isnt shallow, I dont know what is.

-I see it all too often, some guy who clearly has game (a smooth talker, one of those player type guys who I would have expected to get the girl) hitting on a hot chick, always up on her, being touchy, flirty, and the girl just sits there and acts cool and indifferent, then when he leaves, she startes talking with her friends about him: its clear she doesnt like him the way she makes a snarl and a barf expression on her face and even comments on his looks, flat out saying somethin along the lines of "ewww, hes soo ugly".

-Discussion with hot women on the topic, Ive been told many times by good looking women that they "just cant live withthemselves" dating a guy who they dont think is good looking. literally told me they would kill themselves if they dated a guy they didnt think was hot. yes, shallow, I know.

-Ive asked good looking women what they look for in a guy, an answer I often get really bluntly: "um, good looking guys". yep, shallow. why not an answer like "a guy with a good personality".

-Women at clubs will refuse to dance with a guy if he aint good looking to her. come on, its just a dance! imagine how resistant they will be when it comes to sex and dating with a guy thats not hot. clubs clearly demonstrate the shallowness in good looking women.

Theres so many more examples that demonstrate that hot women are shallow that I cant think of right at the moment. But the fact is that I would find it hard to beleive that good looking women will be so shallow if looks didnt matter; I just wouldnt expect to be seeing this if the "looks dont matter" were true. but if looks did matter, I totally would expect to be seeing this kind of behavior. again, this observation just really tips the weight in the "looks theory" 's favor. I mean, hello! :wave:

again, not making sense. men have variance in taste, but this doesnt mean looks dont mean **** to us. and pointing out some women who like fat men is supposed to explain this is like me pointing out some men like fat women to justify my logic that mens variance in taste means looks dont mean **** to them, which we know looks do mean a lot to us.

Here we see that you are arguing a point that nobody attempted to make. Nobody said that looks don't mean s'hit to men. In fact, the opposite is the very basis of the debate. Looks are very important to the average man, due to our biological instincts and our sense of touch and sight being our main source of attraction to women. Women, on the other hand, base sexual attraction on emotions and the way a man makes them feel. Looks are much further down on the totem pole. And if this doesn't "make any sense" to you, please find one other person on www.sosuave.net to agree, and I'll gladly provide a further explanation.
Here we see you cant comprehend anything. Looks not meaing **** to men? its an analagy to the point you made a few posts back. its was just such a stupid comment, I cant beleive you said it, it made no sense. you basically said that variance in women's taste is evidence that looks mean nothing to them. this is exactly what you said!. Ive been trying to point out how flawed that logic is, by giving you an example that you can relate to. which does infact prove that vairance in taste is zero evidence that looks mean nothing to someone, man or woman! its was just a stupid comment you made. If I were you, I wouldnt event try to rebut this, I would try to avoid drawing as much attention to it as I could..such an illogical statement!

but look at your reply right below this. you point out women appriciate(sic) good looking men (just like us guys! how similar!). so which is it? women are different or women are similar to men? you like contridicting(sic) yourself dont you!?

You believe I am contradicting myself because you misunderstood my words in your exasperation. Women turn down men they consider attractive all the time. Considering a man attractive is known as an "appreciation of a handsome man." This is completely different from taking a man home/dating/marrying aforementioned man. For example, I can appreciate Sophia Loren's beauty. Yes, she is a beautiful woman. No, I will not have sex with her. Appreciation, without a relationship. I know you can see the difference.
women turning good looking men down? irrelevant to what I said. I was pointing out how women appriciating guys good looks is an example of how women are similar. You confirmed this example!! you stated that women do in fact appriciate good looks! While at the same time, your position argues that women are different. this example contridicts that kind of logic! you cant argue women are different, and then agree and make confirmation on a trait that shows men and women are similar!

Wow, i never thought about that...pretty insightful. Perhaps true as well, I got a couple of "pretty" mates that just don't get sex lol, but I (average looking) do...to some extent :D

So what do you reckon the difference netween physical and sexual attractiveness is? I'm pretty intrigued

So how

The quote in your sig is interesting, Wayword. Do you think that these women would be so eager to detach themselves from the "faithful loser" if he looked like Antonio Banderas? Want to share a successful man if he looked like Bill Gates? So if you're saying that they WOULD, that it would be a coincidence? The guys on your side are arguing that such a scenario would never happen, due to the fact that good-looking women would never be seen with good-looking men.

Help me understand your viewpoint on this, because your stance of "looks matter" and your signature seems contradictory to me.
Exactly what I was thinking...:up:
