Unpopular people

Would you say a unpopular person or 'misfit' (who is not neccessarily ugly) can be made physically unattractive to the opposite sex simply by being unpopular?

Its just when I first started college there was this girl who I thought was pretty but I soon found out she was really quiet and unpopular and then she sort of 'disgusted' me in a way. Not my fault, so don't have a go!!

Well, surely you've just answered your own question?

And how is it not your fault?
That's absolutely pathetic, and I say that as a "popular" person.

Your right but thats just my opinion, its not my fault because I can't help the way I feel towards girls:confused:
It depends why they are unpopular.

I think a person's character can make them unattractive physically. Eg, i may find someone fit. and his bad quality(eg.a racist or a snob) makes him unpopular.then the attractive probably wears off because of the bad quality not because of the unpopularity.

Yes, I suppose it's not your fault that you're a shallow imbecile.

Likewise. You are apparently one of those "wannabe" people who can't think for themself in an attempt to gain popularity. When this girl didn't turn out to be popular, you turned against her - is it because if you pursued her, you might be labelled unpopular as well? :rolleyes:
I go for unpopular women. They're more attractive to me, the ones that don't give a toss:biggrin:

So are you not going to talk to this girl anymore? Maybe if you got to know her, you're thoughts would change. What if one day you see her walking around with some other guy? You might kick yourself then.:smile:
If anything, I think that popular people tend to be arrogant arses, which does disgust me.
I'm hoping the disgust is unrelated to the fact she enjoys her own company (like she spewed on your shoes or something).

If not....get over yourself.
What do u mean by 'popular'?? People can think they are 'popular' and not be..as they may be a person who most people recognise or know the name of, but may not be liked, so being 'popular' doesn't really matter.

And tbh, u can be 'popular' for all the wrong reasons. Most, not all, popular people are extroverts, hence why they are able to be popular..this girl sounds like an introvert who wouldn't 'crave' to be pop or have the personality to be so...

At uni, there is no such thing as popular...certain faces or names are more well known, but it doesn't really matter and there is no real segregation

GET OVER IT MATE! POPULARITY IS NOTHING..U CAN BE A NICE/FUNNY/ATTRACTIVE ETC PERSON WITHOUT BEING POPULAR! Not everyone craves to be 'popular' and are happy with having a lot of friends, but do not have the demand for attention. I am 'popular' in that I have lots of friends, but never have wanted to be one where my face is instantly recognised...!What is the POINT??

I didn't turn against her, I didn't ignore her or anything its just I did not fancy her when I found out she was too quiet.
nah - you're just shallow, it doesn't mean she's ugly.
People are popular because they are confident, and pretty much everybody is attracted to confidence.

I know what you mean about arrogance though, lots of my friends are. I'm not excusing their arrogance, but having people always calling you and wanting to be around you doesn't help.

If you mean popularity by being cool and not cool, then you are wrong. No-one is any different. Just because you might happen to know more people than someone else does not make you cool. I know quite a lot of people at my school, but there are people I don't know. It does not mean i see them as disgusting and unpopular. It just means I have not chat with them before.

It is unfair to call someone disgusting because they do not know as many people as you would like them to.

In the adult world, maybe. But in the teenage world, nope!

Popular people are often those who are the most attractive, best at sports, or simply the coolest. It's not really related to confidence as such.
