How important is surface beauty ?

you are always attracted to the physical appearance... let it be a lot or a little, cause you will never start a convo (or continue one) if you think the other ones is butt-ugly

(and I'm stressing it's not me, cause of what pap said about my first post)

😂 😂 Sad but true.

True beauty is on the inside, but how many of us actually get to see that in a person at first? How many times have we turned our heads cuz of the outward appearance, how many times have we missed a friend or someone to date because of the way that person looked, we never even gave them a chance? I bet many of us can say, we've done that.

How many people have agreed to go on a blind date, and was like 😱 😱 when they seen the person, and couldn't even have a good time cuz they couldn't get beyond their looks. It is sad, but so true in many cases. Society has everything focused on looks, weight, style....It is sad.

Storm and I did.

btw Bush was born with no Charisma what so ever IMO

great going at getting politics in this fire 🙁

I think physical beuty in a relationship is imprtant. no matter who you are. I dont think it should be the dominating aspect in a relationship, unless that is all your after. To me personally physical appearances are not the first thing i look for, but arent the last. If i cannot be physicaly attracted to someone, then i cannot be truly satisfied. As long as i am moderately attracted to another person that is fine. This may change with age for me, but i am still young and though a physical relationship isnt the most imporatant thing to me, it is still an important experience i want.

Sorry but I was discussing this with Storm and the ppl most reliant on Charisma these days are political and religious leaders.

Some ppl imo are born with a lot of Charisma: Gandhi, Mandela, Hitler, The Dalai Lama and so forth, others are thought: Bush (those ppl rely on Ghost Writers and stuff)

I think that good looks is in the back of your mind when you meet someone. But I also look at things like if the person is being rude or not, and then I might think about their personality.

The fact of the matter is - Most everyone feels surface beauty in important, that's usually the basis of every first impression when you meet someone. And it's near impossible to have a relationship with someone who doesn't at least have a few phyiscal attributes that you are attracted to.

The people who say "I don't care about looks, I care more about what's on the inside" are usually lying their ass off"

well, there goes my second post of the thread up in flames 🙁

surface beauty is important to a degree .

Getting back to the charisma comment, yes I have witnessed it many times. However it may not have been charisma. But many a time on the street I see a couple, and one half of the couple looks nothing like the stereotype you would associate the other with.

What I mean is, you could see a beautiful young lady, with all the right assets, and beside her, someone you wouldn't even give a second glance to. It's mind boggling. 😑

I mean you think to yourself, if it's not over money or whatever, what could they possibly have in common 😮 But you never know.

well it always has to do wiv physical attraction but not everyone has the same taste.

But I suppose it could happen, I think sometimes people just give off an aura, and you are drawn to them like before mentioned, but like someone stated, that could be grown and nourished, and you aren't neccesarily born with it ❌

I think Storm said you can nurture and improve your natural Charisma

I partialy agree with that statement, but only to a certain extend can Charisma be nurtured or improved, and that extend is a lot smaller than the portion with which you are born.

I think that society today puts way too much emphasis on surface beauty, and it's kind of sad. You could have someone that is plain-looking, and they could have the greatest personality, but since they're not what most people consider beautiful, they won't have a chance unless they get lucky.

Me, I'm a believer of "beauty is in the eye of the beholder", and that personality is much more important than looks.

Surface beauty is only there so that YOU can look good with that pretty gal or that handsome man on your arm !

Admit it y'all.....you wouldn't be seen dead with an ugly dog on your arm would you ?

It all goes to personal rep !

because an ugly dog scares the girls away and a young pup attracts them?

ok what it is with most people is that yes, you need to be "beautiful" on the inside...but beintbeautiful on the outside helps. its as simple as that.

obviously, if someone on the street was to approach one out of two people....an attractive one (like me diva) or an unnatracctive one (like yerss cry) its obvious they'd choose me diva

note: for all you who dont know me, yes, i am kidding 😛

you wish girl... I'm so darn popular that if I just open my door here, people storm my house in to ask me out on dates 😱
and Brad Pitt is one pesky stalker I tell you! *snap snap*

you think thats good darlin? pft 🙄 i get people storming into my house anyways without my opening the door diva mind you, i guess its hard now that i have my security gards, and my security dogs schmoll you wouldnt beleive what people would to just to say something to me shock
