. . . . that would make anyone you wanted to look gorgeous. Would you take it?

On the plus side: every person you found gorgeous below the skin, you could now see as gorgeous on the surface, too. On the minus side, you'd *know* that you were just seeing what you wanted to see. On the other hand you might think, 'Who cares? Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and I now see person X, who I've always liked a lot but but who's done nothing for me to date looks-wise, as gorgeous. Sod it, I'll go with the flow'.

Nah. But I might take a pill that gave me the same effects as Shallow Hal. Jack Black's character was given a post-hypnotic suggestion that let him see people as gorgeous or ugly, depending on their inner nature. So a woman who was gorgeous on the outside but was an ugly person inside looked ugly to him, while women who had beautiful souls were all gorgeous even though they weren't considered classically beautiful by the rest of society.

Interesting question.

I was initially going for "Take the pill. Why not? There's no down-side presented and a nice up-side." Then as I pondered how nice that'd be I immediately came across the down-side. I wouldn't be seeing Carol any longer. That was sort of horrific so the idea got nixed. I don't think that reveals how deep I am. I think it reveals how head-over-heels I am.

Nice poll peon.

For me, gorgeous is relative to the connection I have with her/them. I am looking for particular things, but social beauty standards is not one of those things. I have many facets for attraction, and comeliness is low on the list. For me to want someone in a sexual manner, they would have to be within my framework of "relationship material"... yep, I'm shallow like that, and stupidly relationship orientated.

I need substance beyond the superficiality of social beauty. Someone that I can communicate with... which is tricky cuz I am a werido, and the list is pretty deep and summed up in my profile. For me, it is somewhat like Syl posted, I do have the Shallow Hal thing about me, and I find bimbo barbie, sans substance, completely grotesque. One of the issues I have encountered, naturally this will sound pretty narcissistic, is I'm a bit pretty and that somehow makes me less approachable. One of the common Nilla arguments I've beat my head against is the girl rendering the decision that she is not good enough for me and taking the decision from me and then laying land mines of relationship destruction everywhere. The hardest truth I had to face with this, is you cannot fix someone else's issues, you can only lash yourself to the mast and hope you can weather the storm or jump ship.

I've dated "unlikely matches" pretty often, but there were so many things about her that appealed to the numerous facets of attraction that I have, she was entirely drop dead gorgeous to me, she (they in most cases) couldn't see it in themselves or see how attracted I was to them.

I do only date exceptional women. They will be exceptional in one way or, maybe, many ways. Exceptionally beautiful was something I didn't mind passing up early on, but I've never dismissed it entirely. Now I hunt other exceptional qualities, and my favorite is treating me exceptionally well, toss in one more exceptional quality and it is on like Donkey Kong.

Now, if there was a pill that made the girl(s) I'm interested in see themselves through my eyes, I would buy it by the cases, and serve it to her along with breakfast in bed, cuz I'm a dick like that.

Jus sayin

No, because the physical things I find attractive don't fall into ugly vs beautiful. Both blond hair and dark hair can be beautiful. But I'm not attracted to blonds. Doesn't mean I can't appreciate them as physically beautiful, just means there's no chemistry.

Nah.
Physical features are usually last on my list of why I want to be with someone. I have so rarely encountered something I can't get past. I've dated people that seem "all over the place". Its way more about who s/he is. I mean, a lot of my friends get hung up because of someone's height- which I find really unfair and outrageous. I just really can't even nail down what I find attractive, I'd be curious to know what said pill would come up with for me.

I care way more about being physically attractive myself.
If this poll said "take a pill to make YOU attractive to everyone you're attracted to!" I'd say yes.

No. A person's honor and compassion are the only things that matter to me . Never looks.

Dam... What if they don't have looks or compassion, would you take a pill to see them as compassionate?

If there was a pill to MAKE someone compassionate, I'd slip 'em that one. Like XT, if someone's outside is attractive and they are shits on the inside, I think they're ugly.
I thought Mark Spitz (immediately post-Olympics) was drop dead gorgeous 'til I saw him on a talk show. Ugly to the bone. Hopefully over the years he's matured to a decent human being.

I wouldn't want or need such a pill.

I don't believe I've ever had to approach anyone. Either happened through them approaching me or an introduction through mutual friend. All of those cases, I didn't start liking them until after conversation. At which point they do become more and more attractive in my eyes. I've also never been approached by someone I thought to be unattractive. Creeps, yes, and they don't stand a chance with me. So, I really can't say, with total certainty, I have blinders on. It could be possible that I've just never been approached by someone who wouldn't physically do it for me no matter how great their personality. Even then, though, I wouldn't want a pill because I'd feel guilty for not accepting them fully as they are.

I think some people can see what they want to see.. I've had partners who thought my shat dunt stank... Even though I'm an ass sometimes. One girl specifically, would only see the good stuff which I do apparently do on occasion... Even though what she would call good, I'd classify as neutral.

Sometimes, things which awarded me adulation, were simply me choosing not to be a complete tool, when really... the alternative would just have caused problems.

Some girls really have rose coloured glasses on let me tell ya...

Can I ask the pill to make me look beautiful to myself?

Everyone in my life is beautiful already. Whether they're actually good looking people or I'm blinded by love is pretty much irrelevant anyway. And all those people see the beauty in me, so I wouldn't care that the pill didn't actually make me better looking.

But I can't see it, and I'd love to stop feeling self conscious and love my own body. So if it could do that, I'd take the pill in a heartbeat.

No. They would only appear to be. We already lie to ourselves about people's true selves as it is.
