Re: Being physically attractive is a good thing!I like sex with attractive women more than spending time with intelligent fat people.(Original post by ThatPerson)
Actually if I had the choice between an size 8 unemployed person and a obese doctor I would chose neither. You're looking at 2 extreme ends of the scale. Also, why would you want someone who is unemployed by choice(if it was out of their hands I could sympathise. -

Re: Being physically attractive is a good thing!601 applicants in an online survey is hardly a good sample. Those 601 people are more likely to have responded because they are affected by the issue, which means they are not neccessarily representitive of the general population.
Additionally "wiping out dieting" is a stupid concept. Where does dieting begin and end? People forget the meaning of the word diet.
Also, "One in three men would sacrifice a year of life to achieve their ideal body"
Sacrifice? How do you define sacrificing a year? -

Re: Being physically attractive is a good thing!Eight red gems not enough for you ISA?(Original post by im so academic)
I agree with you OP - appearance is the most important thing.
I say we scrap the education we have now and the academic side should just be about the basics of English and Maths with a new curriculum that places a lot of emphasis on appearance and how you present yourself to others, e.g. *hours* of sport every day and elocution lessons.
You can only study academic subjects if you are deemed "good enough" for the opposite sex.
Who actually gives a **** about you if you're not beautiful? It's the truth.
I bet I'm going to get a lot of posts saying about "it's not the most important thing", "it's personality that counts". But who will the posts be written by? Women and desperate men.
Any decent man would want a hot girl.

Re: Being physically attractive is a good thing!Not technically, because you have said "to me" however you could probably phrase that better. "I personally am not attracted to black girls" sounds a lot less likely to set off the trigger happy "Racist!" alarms.(Original post by chapman.)
Is it racist if I say to me black girls are unattractive?

Re: Being physically attractive is a good thing!Being slim isn't the same as being attractive
Besides if everyone was attractive you (and your attractive friends) wouldn't feel special any more.
We should encourage health, evolution already favours attractive people. -

Re: Being physically attractive is a good thing!^agreed, but at least its sorts out the majority of people who i dont want to be around easily.(Original post by Courtney05)
As much as I may not agree with it, I think we do live in a very materialistc society that does rate looks very highly.
Anyway, wow so many airheads in this thread. I can't even be bothered to waste my efforts elaborating. But OP, you're stating only your opinion. I would certainly get with an obese doctor over a slim, unemployed person if they were equal in all other aspects. ...and this is coming from a size 8 girl. medical student.Last edited by tpxvs; 30-05-2012 at 19:09. -

Re: Being physically attractive is a good thing!I saw this on the BBC as well and i thought something similar. Its not exactly a good thing to be fat just as much as its not a good thing to be too thin, and if magazines want good looking people to model in them, then why not? Its obviously the girls' problem who go mental over being thin, or else every girl would be getting anorexic? We just need to teach daughters to be confident and eat healthy or whatever

If you are fat, you are by default unhealthy. -

Re: Being physically attractive is a good thing!We are the society, when people say we live in a bla bla bla society it doesn't exactly mean anything; what you mean is that we live in a society where majority of the people are easily jealous and have not much meaning in life

Re: Being physically attractive is a good thing!This morning on TV these women were talking about how celebrity culture is so bad as it encourages girls to diet and become obsessed with their weight.
Yes, it is not healthy to be obsessed with your weight but what the failed to address is that the girls that they interviewed/consulted about this celebrity thing, were overweight.
Baffles me. -

Re: Being physically attractive is a good thing!I'd rather have a not ugly, but not super attractive, reliable/respectable girl for the long term and to start a family with.(Original post by im so academic)
Yes, in order to be happy for the long term, a guy needs a hot girl.
Plus a procession of hot girlfriends on the side.
Why you gotta be so black and white about it? -

Re: Being physically attractive is a good thing!It annoys me how people use the anorexia/eating disorder thing to excuse their unhealthiness.
I used to know a girl who was very much overweight, but I can't put the blame on her as we were very young - I blame her mother who used to give her chips every night. Her mother always used the excuse as to not to face her daughter's weight problem "because if she did she would give her an eating disorder".
People fail to realise that anorexia is a mental disorder embedded in your brain - not everyone has it or will get it - regardless of whether you were fat or skinny before you acquired it.
