    Post 3 Signs you're hung up on looks:

    Found this article and thought to bring it here to let you look it over:

    The next time you ogle that flawlessly gorgeous human specimen at the coffee shop, consider these words of wisdom from Katherine Gould, author of A Tiger in the Bedroom: focusing exclusively on a woman’s appearance may be a sign that you need to bring some higher brain functions — such as intelligence, intuition, and common sense — into play when searching for a mate.

    How can you tell that you’re obsessed with looks over and above your date’s other attributes? Here are some surefire signs:

    1. You are prone to downplaying your date’s non-physical flaws. Once, over dinner, I smiled and nodded as my date made a flat-out elitist comment, just because I thought she was cute (this is not a good sign). If you find yourself making excuses for your sweetie every time he or she speaks — “Oh, Jerry’s not much of an intellectual,” “Oh, that’s just Helen’s weird sense of humor” — you might be better off embracing your shallowness and trading your sweetie in for a department-store mannequin. But seriously, if you’re way over-valuing looks to the extent that you’re glossing over flaws… chances are, you haven’t met your match yet.

    2. You zero in on the tiniest of “defects” to deem someone unworthy to date. I call this one the “Seinfeld Effect,” though it’s since turned up in other sitcoms as well. If you hear yourself delivering these erstwhile punch lines, try to stop and think about what’s really important in life: “She’s about five pounds too heavy,” “His nostrils are way too big,” “I’d ask her out on a second date if only she’d lose those glasses.” A real relationship doesn’t revolve around such details; you’re being too superficial and not focusing on what really makes a couple click.

    3. You are — consciously or subconsciously — dating more attractive people to boost your own low self-esteem. “Do you need a good-looking date to make you feel better?” asks Debbie Mandel, author of Turn on Your Inner Light: Fitness for Body, Mind and Soul. “If you feel attractive and empowered, you’ll look for someone who is as positive as you are. That means someone with a sense of humor, who is a good listener, a caring individual — basically someone who knows what he or she brings to the table.” In other words, if you won’t settle for anything less than a piece of arm candy, that says a lot more about you than it does about your date. You’re with that super-attractive person in the hopes that he or she casts a “halo effect” of glamour on you… when the real issue is your own sense of self-worth.


    How to go from the shallow to the deep end of the dating pool
    Is there hope to break out of the rut you now realize you’ve fallen into with these shallow dating practices? Yes, say the experts, if you stop and do some hard thinking and focus on the tips listed below.

    1. Put less emphasis on looks and more on chemistry when vetting potential love interests. “While looks are important, compatibility is the key to building great relationships,” says Liz H. Kelly, author of Smart Man Hunting. “You’ll live a happier life by marrying someone who’s a 10 in compatibility, even if he or she is only a 7 in the looks department.” In other words, you don’t have to hook up with someone you find physically unappealing, but you shouldn’t let a pair of glasses dissuade you from a second date.

    2. If you’ve met on the Internet, don’t meet in person too soon. This may sound counterintuitive, especially to folks who feel that online dating is somehow “inauthentic” compared to a real-life, face-to-face encounter. “You should try to develop a relationship based on an exchange of personal information before exchanging photos or meeting in person,” says Alan R. Stafford, president of Relationship Success Experts in Charlotte, NC. That way, he says, you’re less likely to reject someone in person because of a small physical flaw — or because he or she’s really only a 7 when you were expecting a 10.

    3. Look at the most in-love couples you know for inspiration. Chances are, they are not all pairings of perfectly gorgeous people. Spend time with the couples, and see how their lives are richer and happier thanks to the relationship. Ask yourself if you would rather have that love in your life with someone who complements you overall... or if it’s worth holding out in the hopes that you’ll meet a supremely attractive soul mate who just happens to have all the other qualities you seek, too. The choice is yours.

    I am — consciously or subconsciously — dating more attractive women. I didnt realize it was to boost my own low self-esteem. I just thought it was because they are hot and I want to orgasm inside their body.

    I'm a shallow asshole who wouldn't even consider dating or fucking an unattractive person. This has never worked in my favor, because my true personality can clear a room faster than a dirty fart. Luckily, I am a decent enough looking fellow that I can pull ass as long as I maintain a fake personality.

    Unfortunately, maintaining a fake personality saps my mental energy, and after a week or two my real personality starts fighting its way to the surface. By that time I have done or some something that has caused the girl's pussy to slam shut.

    This is the same thing, written by some bitter ugly person who got the shaft from the better half he/she was dating but it is pretty obvious a woman or gay man wrote that... just saying.

The choice is yours.


    Though i agree, to an extent, forgive me for this, but I put the expression "they look good together" to a high regard.

    I live in Gainesville, FL. Since Ive lived here since 2007, I have seen women of various ages dating guys who are very unattractive then they are. Really, this shit is everywhere, but I have never seen it so rampart than in this area. Typically, I would just think it was my judgmental ass being jealous, but when I heard ~5 other people make the exact same reaction, meaning they say to me, "you ever notice the hot girls in this town have shitty taste," then I cant have any other thoughtful choice but to choose that there is a swallowing of low self esteem by women here.

    The women here either date men for their money or for the fact that they have control. Both reasons of shallow....hmm, just like dating someone for looks? Yeah well, Ive heard 10x the women who marry men with money then cheat on them with good looking, younger broke guys than the other way around. Honestly, Ive never heard of any girl dumping a guy that rocks her world for a guy that just has money. I am sure it happens, but not as fast as the other way around. I could mean that literally too, like, a girl who is with a guy with money, cheats instantly by fucking 'the milk man,' but a girl sick of eating fast food everyday of her life would prolly dine out with a guy with money a few times before she actually fucked him. Buuuut thats my own theory.

    This town isnt full of rich people though, so I am left to think that these women are dating below their standards to avoid putting forth some effort in some shape, way, or form. Works both ways, I guess. I could date an uglier girl just because she shouldnt cheat on me, sure. Its not a certainty though. Anyone can cheat, to be fair. So, why not be with someone that you cant keep your hands off of? If a girl makes me laugh, I want to hang out with her, sure, but that doesnt mean I want to fuck her all the time. That being said, if a girl is with a guy because he makes her laugh, that shit wont last. Everyones jokes get predictable, but sexual chemistry could last forever.

    So, be with your match. If not, aim higher. No one will blame you if it didnt work out (another stereotype), but you can look back and know you gave it your best shot.

    Plus, youll get pics of a naked hot chick via camera phone.

    I have to disagree with you here. The people who made me laugh in high school still make me laugh today. That is why I made them long friends. Very rarely have I ever seen people lose their sense of humor. I'm not saying it doesn't happen, just saying it is rare.

    Love and lust, on the other hand, are short lived. Humor exist in the core of your personality. Love and lust are just chemical reactions that fizzle out.
