You mean in the sense that you're universally beautiful?

Yes, but have you noticed that at times there is a universality to beauty?

Now you're being cruel.




michaelOfGeorgia -> RE: How important is physical appearance? (8/9/2007 4:53:25 PM)

i will never understand the importance of appearances. seems a bit shallow to me




sexyred1 -> RE: How important is physical appearance? (8/9/2007 5:03:00 PM)

of course physical is important. it is the first sign of attraction. it is a preference, determines possible chemistry and without it, no amount of brains, heart or soul will matter, and do not be naive about this.




michaelOfGeorgia -> RE: How important is physical appearance? (8/9/2007 5:08:05 PM)

maybe, but, then again...all the looks in the world can't cover up a bad disposition.

what a wonderfully refreshing, and admirable, response to a question that replays over and over here and generally creates flames and insults..not to mention, misunderstandings.
 
You have your preference ( as we all do) but you are not requiring anything of someone else you are not willing to require of yourself....

Thank you.  I learned a long time ago that appearance does make a difference in this world, it benefits anyone to do the most they can with what they have.  To quote Emerson,"Make the most of yourself, for that is all there is of you."  He meant that more about personal achievement, but it applies just as well to appearance and personal grooming.


Greetings Padrig,
i enjoyed and agreed with your first post as well as this one.   You have really made an excellent point here and one i have tried to make in other threads but not as eloquently as you~
"nail on the head" so to speak

Probably not the best time for me to answer this being as I was recently stood up for a third date but I'll take the risk:
 
Appearance is somewhat important to me but I do not have a type. A clean, healthy, happy disposition along with an intelligent, confident air that shows in a man's entire demeanor is what attracts me. But apparently women can be ugly, snaggle toothed, ignorant, skinny and bitchy but they can't be fat!
 
Just being a bit snarky but I will allow myself that just for today. Yep, I'm overweight but in good health, clean, take care of myself, such a pretty face [;)]. I am confident in myself, feel totally sexy most of the time, and frankly any man would be lucky to have me because I am a good, intelligent  woman. But I am not niave. I understand that chubby girls are not everyone's cup of tea and that's okay. As has already been said a zillion times most everyone has their preferences. I don't expect anything of anyone else that I can not deliver myself. But some of us have lived it and know what it truly means to find the beauty on the inside.

Oh gees, sorry for butting in...I was just watching the scrolling conversation over there on the side and didn't even realize this was a question for the Domly types.
 
I look so intelligent right now, don't I? [&o]

I wouldn't worry about it, you may have noticed that people post to all the forums pretty freely regardless of gender or orientation.  I've often marvelled at that, but that's just me.

Umisprite,
I'm not a domly type ( of course my kids would probably disagree with that lol ) and I posted here .. no worries, I don't think. : )
Heck > I'm still guilty of posting to old threads that pop-up again at the top, thinking they are new.. LOL
 
Wanted to say I enjoyed your post...Thanks for your wonderful words.. The more we share of ourselves> the more people we find that really can relate to how we are feeling..
I am still getting use to opening up on this forum, but am usually glad when I do....Learning from all the similarities as well as the differences.
 
Smiles

I don't know.  I think looks are pretty important but like LaT said, we're not all attracted to the same person/type.  Of course, what's on the inside is important, maybe even more so, but I may never get to know that if I don't find the person attractive to begin with.  I'm not talking model attractive as I'm not model attractive.  But there must be some spark there or it's doomed before it start.

I do know what you mean, yes. I believe facial symmetry has something to do with that. In addition to many things that evolution has hardwired into us, physical traits that are indicitive of good health and ability to breed etc.

I understand also, where Michael is going with his thought. I have met many people that were at first appearance quite lovely but quickly became ugly, though I must say, very few. Some people, a photo would show as rather plain but upon meeting them, their essence just shines from them, making them beautiful in my eyes.






littlelam -> RE: How important is physical appearance? (11/13/2007 4:08:52 PM)

Its strange (as in coming from a young attractive girl like me), but I have dated, or had long term relationships, with some pretty ugly guys. I'm talking about the kind of ugly where you wake up in the morning and feel an involuntary shudder the moment you set eyes on your beloved lying next to you. I'm not big on pretty boys. As cliched as it is, substance and character and intelligence is really what does it for me. Poor physical appearance transfigures to physical attraction in my eyes when instilled with desirable characteristics and intelligence. That said, I have a whole different appetite and requirement for my own sex, so I can understand where the guys are coming from.

OH PS - My Daddy Faramir kicks butt and sets women on fire. I fell in love with your Greco-Roman nose and your i-can-crush-you shoulders and your unruly arching eyebrows the moment I set eyes on you

Nice save, baby.  Nice save.  You clearly  have l33t board skillz [:D]!




masterlink65 -> RE: How important is physical apearence? (11/13/2007 7:22:39 PM)

proper attitude is more important.  a master can control your appearnace to some extent, and control your dress code. but a proper attitude is way more important to  me looking for a potential slave. looks are secondary at best. 




erebus -> RE: How important is physical apearence? (11/13/2007 11:58:54 PM)

Physical appearance is the attractant; personality is what keeps you there. 

I work with a guy who was in a bad auto accident, and he has significant scars that you notice right off.

Since I've known him for years, I couldn't tell you what they look like.  The personality and all the other aspects of a person make for the entire package, not just the outward appearance.

I remember a young woman I met who was quite attractive.  The more I got to know her, the more I realized she was selfish and unpleasant.  No one is so beautiful that I'd put up with a selfish bitch who was unkind to others.

That's why so many marriages occur between people who meet at work, a church, school or whatever.  They spend enough time with a person to really get to know the whole package. 




Aceton -> RE: How important is physical apearence? (11/14/2007 2:48:04 AM)

This might seem odd, but I often find "obvious" attractiveness a bit of a turn off.  Most obviously attractive people I have met are assholes. It's hard to define what I mean by obvious, but I guess there is a certain self conciousness to everything these people do. They primp and preen, and end up looking almost fake because of it, like plastic people. Are they good looking, yeah I guess, am I attracted to them? No.

isn't that about the way it goes? people prefer the cover of a book, over the story.

shootingstar67 -> RE: How important is physical apearence? (11/14/2007 3:13:56 AM)

I would caution those of you who are big and are working on losing weight. I was overweight when I met my ex but got really skinny. He used to complain that I was too thin and cheated on me with an overweight woman. So if YOU want to be thinner by all means do so but He might like big girls so...there it is.
